It’s really hard to be a true Nokia fan in the USA since most carriers don’t seem to care about Nokia’s latest phones, not to mention its services. After we’ve seen the N97 disregarded by everyone in the phone business we know hear that Nokia’s music service, Comes with Music, has been pushed back to 2010. Maybe the U.S. market is not ready for another free DRM music service or maybe Nokia is not ready to support the costs given its current foothold in the USA. Nokia hasn’t specified when Comes with Music will be launched but I guess you won’t miss it all that much. After all there’s always iTunes or even Amazon ready to satisfy your music needs.

With Nokia World approaching fast we should expect the Finnish manufacturers to announce at least a few new handsets or mobile gadgets. One of them could be the Nokia Alvin, a phone that has just hit the FCC. We don’t have many details about it but we do know that the Alvin is going to have 32GB of internal memory, a BL-5J battery, quad-band GSM, tri-band WCDMA, Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity. Should we assume that the Alvin is the follower of the N97? What do you guys think?

A few days ago we heard that that hot Nokia N900 Internet Tablet will be compatible with AT&T but sadly, we have to inform you that such a thing will not happen. Here’s what Nokia had to officially say about 850/1900/2100 MHz WCDMA compatibility:

Regarding the Nokia N900, we have announced a tri-band WCDMA version that utilizes the 900/1700/2100 MHz networks. There have been no announcements regarding a version that supports the 850/1900/2100MHz bands.

You can keep hoping that Nokia will launch a 850/1900/2100 MHz WCDMA but just in case it doesn’t you should consider changing carriers if you really want that N900.

Nokia’s new Internet Tablet, the N900, looked great in those press shots but now that we’ve gotten a glimpse of how it works, it looks even better. In fact, the N900 might just be the hottest phone / MID / Internet Tablet Nokia launched so far.

The video above shows you a thing or two about that new Maemo 5 interface which already looks a lot better than Nokia’s current Symbian S60 5th Edition OS used in its current touchscreen phones. The N900 will be launched sometime in October so you have plenty of time to decide whether or not to get one. But would you pay the full $860 to own one?

Three phones have graduated from the FCC today namely Nokia’s 3710a and RM-511 in addition to the Motorola Morisson.

Spec wise, Nokia’s 3710a features a 3.2MP camera with LED flash, a clam shell form factor and 3G connectivity. The RM-511, on the other hand, we don’t know much about other than 3G and a clam shell form factor. And last is the slide-out QWERTY keyboard touting Motorola Morisson that we heard about way back in June.

Additionally, it was made known that T-Mobile is the carrier that will be getting all 3 of these handsets.

It seems that a Nokia employee may have accidentally confirmed that an AT&T 3G compatible N900 is in the works. News comes to us from a The Nokia Blog reader who questioned Nokia about a possible AT&T iteration of the handset to which the company replied:

Alvin,

You are correct, we’ve announced the Nokia N900 yesterday. We have not announced where it will be available but have just said that it will be released in select regions.

Regarding the network bands, you are correct – we announced a WCDMA 900/1700/2100 MHz bands. We have not made any announcements regarding an 850/1900/2100 MHz band device. An announcement will be forthcoming.

Thanks,
Joe

So, a forthcoming announcement about an 850/1900/2100MHz Nokia N900? We’ll keep you posted.

German and Italian customers interested in that hot Nokia Internet Tablet, the N900 Rover, can now pre-order it while they wait for Nokia to make the device available. Both German and Italian Nokia web stores have the N900 available for pre-order for just 600 Euros or just about $860, with free shipping. The N900 will be delivered to your home by October 1 or even earlier and we should expect Nokia to open pre-sales in other markets too. It looks like the N900 is even more expensive than the Booklet 3G which is certainly strange. What about you? Interested in getting the N900 or would you rather get the Booklet 3G?

After we’ve seen the first Nokia netbook get launched earlier this week, we can certainly assume that Nokia will not stop here. In fact it looks like Nokia has big plans for the near future. After the Booklet 3G, the company is getting ready to launch an ARM-based smartbook sometime next year. We don’t have all the details just yet but it’s said that the smartbook will be launched in mid-2010 and that Foxconn Electronics or Compal Electronics are the companies that are going to produce the new Nokia gadget.

Curios what phones will Nokia launch next? Well it looks like there are plenty of rumors out there especially since the Nokia World event is almost upon us. And people say that Cseries and Xseries phones are definitely going to be presented in Germany this September. Xseries phones will replace the XpressMusic line and it’s being suggested that the first Xseries phone will be a new version of the recently launched 5530 XpressMusic

As for Nseries phones, a new touchscreen model seems to be in the works for later this year so if you love Nokia you’ll surely have a few new handsets to choose from. The Eseries will be getting the first S60 5th Edition model in 2010 so all we have to do is sit and wait for all these new Nokia handsets to be officially unveiled. And we’re definitely interested to see which ones of these upcoming Nokia phones will be picked up by North American carriers!

Mobile banking or sending money through the use of our mobile phones has been something present for certain countries. However, starting next year, Nokia will be joining the fray as it is set to unveil Nokia Money.

As the name connotes, Nokia Money is all about allowing users to send money or settle their financial obligations like bills through a simple text message. To make this all happen, Nokia is currently busy building a network of Nokia Money agents where users can deposit or withdraw funds right on their very own accounts.

Nokia Money will be presented at the coming Nokia World this September and is expected to commence in 2010.

The brand may be a popular one but that doesn’t mean that they are immune to criticized handsets. That is what perhaps best sums up how the Nokia N97 Mini is as far as reviews from the critics are concerned. And among the main reasons for the thumbs down given to the Nokia N97 Mini is traced to its awful keyboard and downsized memory.

Up and close, the Nokia N97 Mini is a dead ringer for the N900. So if you compare both phones, why would anyone prefer the other one? In short, there may be little resemblance if no improvement at all if you are considering the newly approved N97.

The only thing going right now is what other features and pricing the Nokia N97 Mini has planned. Hopefully though there are more features to look forward to like perhaps a touch-screen feature? Keep your fingers crossed!

Last week we brought you a preview of Nokia’s Maemo 5 powered N900, and now we bring you the first official press renders of the device.

If you’re just checking in, the N900 is said to feature a 3.5 inch screen, accelerometer, 5MP camera, 32GB of internal storage and GPS, among other things.

As for a release date, well, considering Nokia hasn’t even officially released the above image yet, I think it’s safe to say it’s still a ways off.

We already know that Nokia has a Mini version of the N97 in the works. We’ve seen pictures of the rumored device but it’s only now that the FCC has officially outed the phone.

Will the N97 Mini be more popular than its older brother? Will it be more affordable? That’s probably Nokia’s intention but what features of the original phone will the Finnish company have to sacrifice to lower the price? From what we see in the picture here the phone isn’t that small compared to the N97 so “Mini” probably stands for something else.

We’ll be waiting for Nokia to officially unveil the new device while we wonder if any U.S. carrier will decide to include this N97 version in its future lineup. What about you? Interested in a Nokia N97 Mini?

While we’re still waiting for Nokia to launch its Nokia N900 tablet we can’t but wonder how the new Maemo OS looks like. And we have some screenshots to play with while we’re waiting for the Rover to be unveiled. Maemo 5 is the next version we’re waiting for and, although it will not replace Symbian anytime soon, this new OS will power quite a few Nokia tablets and handsets in the near future. The screenshots look real enough and we’re hoping that the Linux-based OS is ready to fight against the hottest mobile mobile operating systems available so far. And Nokia should better leak some of those future Maemo-based smartphones.
