High-speed internet on your mobile phone is here, thanks to the new Nokia N95 with support for High Speed Download Package Access (HSDPA) in North American networks. The spanking new N95 is now shipping across the US. Featuring some new upgrades - including Assisted GPS (A-GPS) technology - N95 users can also take advantage of the new SlingPlayer Mobile for Symbian OS to enjoy your home TV programming. You can even watch broadcasts of content recorded to a DVR from anywhere a HSDPA or WiFi network is available.

The Nokia N95’s integrated A-GPS combined with Nokia Maps is great for mapping and routing in over 150 countries and there’s support for full turn-by-turn satellite navigation in over 30 countries. If you hurry, you can also get a 1-month navigation license, a city guide of your choice and additional maps pre-loaded on a 1GB memory card.

Priced at US $699, the new Nokia N95 is now available at the Nokia Flagship Store in New York City and Chicago. It is definitely tempting me to chuck out my Nokia N73 music edition phone but at that price I’d probably keep my N73 for a few more months.

Nokia has yet another music phone that got the FCC approval today. Termed the RM-242 - no, that’s just the FCC ID - the phone is clearly a music phone judging by its facade. It features play/pause buttons right in between the answer/hang-up keys. The phone comes in a slider form factor and appears to be a Java-based phone. It’s got a 3.2 megapixel camera (supporting video). It is 3G-compatible (WCDMA 850 and 2100 are supported) and is a quad-band GSM world phone.

The phone features a 2.5mm audio connector, as well as USB interface for data sync. For additional memory, it supports microSD memory cards. There’s also support for Nokia Xpress audio messaging. Other usual goodies include FM radio, Visual Radio, Voice Recorder, Equalizer, and Push-To-Talk support.

No word on the pricing yet, but the new Nokia phone should hit the markets soon.

Nokia launched their mobile application known as Nokia Maps a few months ago, and while some companies take years to update their software, the folks from Nokia are different and didn’t take much time to update the application taking in consideration the feedback received by the users, which is always a good thing to do because it shows that they are worried to please their clients.

Anyway, the changes made on this update are good for the most part, such as:

- new user interface that only has the essential functions and menus
- upgraded search function with categories included
- 3-day trial Navigation license as bonus
- improved map loader which makes the speed of map transfers 10 times faster

Nokia has just revealed its Limited Edition Nokia 5300 Transformers Mobile Phone. In reality, the phone features the same functionalities as the 5300 XpressMusic but with a different casing. What’s even more regretful is that the phone in itself does not even transform into anything, just a phone with a different “Transformer” casing. As seen on the picture above, its definitely different that some of you might want to try.

There’s another E-Series coming in for Nokia this year. With a publication of a user agent profile on the Nokia web site, we now know of this fact. The Nokia E51 will be expected by everybody. The phone runs on S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 and offers GSM, EDGE, WCDMA, HSDPA and WiFi data connectivity, has a QVGA screen and a numeric phone keypad.

The E51 is likely a direct replacement for the the Nokia E50. S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 means the phone supports a range of new technologies compared to its predecessors. These include the A2DP and AVRCP Bluetooth profiles for stereo audio over Bluetooth, the H.264 video codec and the second version of the S60 browser.

As seen in the photo, th S60 key icon has been changed from the familiar S60 swirl to a ‘house’. This is likely, at least initially, to be an Eseries only change. The phone also includes hardware buttons for Calendar, Contacts and Messaging. Also of interest is the large central delete button, almost certainly aimed at improving the ease of managing email, and the central charging jack, implying that connectivity is via miniUSB.

Styling is very similar to the Nokia E90, which gives the top and bottom end of the Eseries a nice symmetry.

Nokia released its Nokia 6131i, the world’s first business cell phone integrated with NFC (Near Field Communication) technology in China. The phone will be released through Xiamen, Guangzhou and Beijing.

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a new, short-range wireless connectivity technology that evolved from a combination of existing contactless identification and interconnection technologies. Products with built-in NFC will dramatically simplify the way consumer devices interact with one another, helping people speed connections, receive and share information and even make fast and secure payments.

Operating at 13.56 MHz and transferring data at up to 424 Kbits/second, NFC provides intuitive, simple, and safe communication between electronic devices. Communication between two NFC-compatible devices occurs when they are brought within four centimeters of one another: a simple wave or touch can establish an NFC connection, which is then compatible with other known wireless technologies such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

NFC can be used with a variety of devices, from mobile phones that enable payment or transfer information to digital cameras that send their photos to a TV set with just a touch. The possibilities are endless.
