While we're still waiting for Heath Ledger's last movie, the Dark Night, Verizon Wireless has prepared a mid-range phone surprise, the Dark Knight Edition of the Nokia 6205. This flip phone will arrive on June 15th in the US. As the Dark Knight it will be black with a Batman like logo on it.

The 6205 is a mid-range but it still has to offer quite a lot:

• 1.3 megapixel camera with flash and 4x digital zoom,


• 58 MB internal memory expandable up to 4 GB via microSD memory card,


• Get It Now® for downloading games, ringtones, wallpapers,


• VZ NavigatorSM,


• Mobile Web,


• Voice dialing and voice commands,


• Built-in speakerphone,


• Bluetooth-enabled for Wireless Headset Support,


• Verizon Wireless' V CAST Music service,


• two-inch display that supports up to 262,000 colors.

Did you think we would miss any other cell phone action with all the WWDC commotion? Sure the 3G iPhone is good (not great) and better than its predecessor. And there are some phones out there worthy of some attention. I am thinking BlackBerry Thunder for now, but I'd like to imagine that the Touch Diamond or the Instinct from Samsung could be just as good.

What about Nokia, I used to choose Nokia over any other phone. While the WWDC buzz was underway, some one (from Nokia) leaked out these pictures.

The first handset is the N85, which is a dual slider phone much like the N95. It appears to have a 5 megapixel camera which will be covered by a sliding lens for better protection. The one in the middle is the 5800 XpressMedia which looks really iPhone-like is rumored to be a 3.2 inch touch screen with lots of wireless and 3G capabilities. And it has the Vodafone logo on. When is that baby coming to its rightfull owners, us, the customers? The third one is the N79 looks like an N81. Is it similar? Both the N85 and N79 are marked N00 as they are prototypes for now. Hopefully all these three smartphones will get released soon so we can take a better look at them.

Another fine example that jewelry and tech can mix, albeit at a price. Norwegian jeweler Thomas Heyerdahl teams up with Nokia to push out a limited-edition Nokia 8800, a device which has seen its fair share of bling. This time a 100 lucky Nokia 8800 cell phones will get the chance to wear diamonds, again, 112 of them to be precise. Other than diamonds, the Nokia 8800 Diamond offers the same 3G support, a 2.0-inch 16m QVGA display, a 3.2-megapixel autofocus camera, and 1GB built-in memory space.

At $6000, we never expected it to come cheap. Look for it at select Nokia distributors and Heyerdahl stores in Canada this month.

Two new products got discreetly added to Nokia’s Polish website Nokia 7510 and 7610. These are a part of the recently released Supernova Collection. The 7610 is a gorgeous up-slider cell phone.  The 7510 boasts a clamshell design and looks good in its flip open style. It works only on GSM network. It features QVGA display, monochrome external display, music player, FM radio, Bluetooth (A2DP) and memory card support.

It's picture day today. What better way to spend a Sunday glazing at the Nokia E90 Black Edition Pictures?

From what I can see, the design says elegance, responsibility and creativity. I'd go for a test drive on one at any time. At least until the 9th of June...

Finnish site, Verkkokauppa, has started selling the Nokia N78 in Finland online. This all-rounder will be available for 367 euros sans taxes (448 euros with taxes if you want to know). Customers will also get one year's worth of subscription to Nokia Maps for the Nordic region to go along with its integrated aGPS. I don't want to go over the specs again, but a 3.2 Carl Zeiss megapixel camera, HSDPA and WLAN are just the tip of a techberg. Go here for the complete specifications. Now that it's released in Finland, the wait won't be that long until the N78 finds its way into other markets.

The FCC has given Nokia green signal to roll out the E65 successor, the Nokia E66. We see an official announcement being prepared from Nokia in the very near future. Not much is known about the E66 but assuming that rumors do come true, the E66 is a slider that will carry a 3.2-megapixel camera, GPS, 128MB of internal memory, quad-band network support, and a QWERTY keypad with much more aplomb than your average business class phone. Again, we will have to wait till the official announcement for the release date and price, but if the slip-up this January is true, we are looking at a second quarter release and a $550 tag.

T-Mobile have announced today that starting May 28th they will be offering the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic Phone to all those who want more from their music while on the go.

Let's take a look at the Nokia 5310:

The support pages are in place. The interactive demonstrations are up. And the full user manual is ready for grabs. All these point to just one thing - an imminent release for the much-awaited Nokia N78, may be just a matter of days or weeks.

The N78 was officially announced in February at MWC '08 along with another behemoth that is the N96. The N78 is an all-in-one device that combines music, photography, navigation, and productivity into an attractive sleek and stylish design. In addition to integrated aGPS technology with Nokia Maps and Geotagging support, the N78 also has a 3.2-megapixel camera and a card slot to raise storage up to 8GB via microSD cards. The phone houses a 2.4-inch QVGA display capable of 16 million colors. And of course, how can we forget its list of connectivity options including WiFi, HSDPA, and Bluetooth, all meshed into Symbian OS 3rd Edition FP2.

With an estimated price tag of $550 before taxes, this is one phone that will be worth every penny.

Some time back we told you about Nokia's plan of bringing forward an iPhone Killer called as 'Tube'. As per hearsay, it has now been codenamed 'the iperformer'. Why have these guys have used 'i'? They are cheaters. I don't like this stealing of names. Well, nothing much is known about the phone. As far as specs are concerned, it will be equipped with NaviScroll, QWERTY keypad, TV out, GPS, FM transmitter, widescreen touchscreen, WiFi, FM radio, Bluetooth, and a Web cam. When it will appear and at what price is not known yet. But we can expect the best from Nokia. At least, it will be better than the LG Vu and Xperia.

So if you liked the new Nokia E71 pictures we have even more fresh ones to show you thanks to all our tipsters. Not only is this Nokia a smart(er) phone but it also looks good. Just look for your self. A fine slim body, soft skin, beautiful eyes, a strong heart and an independent updatable mind... That's all you need from your communication slave and Nokia delivers.

More pictures below.

Just a few days back we were talking about HTC' Diamond Touch which was rumored to be fully released today in London. That event already took place just a few hours ago.

Now we have another fresh and hot rumor about Nokia E71. This new smart phone is going to be launched this Thursday, May 8th. Nokia E71 will feature super-fast 3G data of course, GPS and WiFi, an autofocus camera and a full QWERTY keyboard. All that packed into a slim case. Nokia, as they said, will bring more and more cell phones to the US market and the E71 is potentially one of them. We let you know more about its cost and what carrier will start selling it in a few days.

Here is another candybar model from Nokia. This time it is exclusively for the CMCC (China Mobile Communications Corporation). Nokia has rolled out 6122c Phone for Chinese customers. This S60 multimedia phone comes loaded with powerful internet and scalable functions. Understanding the importance of internet, the 6122c has been engineered to offer fast internet access.

"Working with top-ranking local operators enables Nokia to optimize services for local customers, and this product exemplifies our close collaboration with global leading telecom operaters," says David Tang, Vice President of sales, Nokia Greater China area. "Its sleek, compact design is iconic of the Nokia brand, now made exclusively for CMCC customers. This demonstrates Nokia's commitment to Chinese customers."

Take pictures with the 2MP camera provided with convenient camera keys, flash and panoramic mode. With the 6122c video streaming and internet browsing becomes more entertaining as it is equipped with a 2.0-inch large display. You can listen to your desired songs in various formats on the Stereo digital music player. Those addicted to listening to the radio can tune into FM Radio.

Remember the Nokia 6210 Navigator? Yes, the very same phone with integrated GPS. It's officially approved by the FCC, so it's well on its way to the target release date of sometime in Q3 2008. A full-featured smartphone running Symbian OS, the 6210 Navigator is equipped with a 3.2 megapixel camera, as well as a secondary camera on the front for video conferencing.

The phone offers connectivity via a micro USB connector, and takes in microSD memory cards for additional memory. The nice part is the included self-mount car kit for this device - something amiss with the N95 and other GPS phones. It also supports Assisted GPS, and comes with on-board MP3 player and FM receiver.

Priced at US $430, check out the Nokia 6210 Navigator.

Nokia is one of the top cell phone sellers in the world. 40% of cell phone users own a Nokia device. That means every 2 out of 5 mobile owners have a Nokia phone. Pretty cool right? Apparently this percentage doesn't apply to the USA and Nokia is going to do something about it.

One of the main reasons Nokia isn't as bing in the US is the CDMA use by various American carriers like Verizon or Sprint. Nokia's chief designer, Alastair Curtis said today that "In the next few months (U.S.) operators will carry a lot of new products from us" Apparently Nokia is going to manufacture more and more models compatible with American networks' needs during the upcoming months. I guess we will all find out how that works out.

Starting May 6th you will be able to buy the 8GB Nokia N95 provided you are in Canada. You heard me! Roger Wireless will sell this baby for $399.99 with a three year Rogers Vision Unlimited On-Device Mobile Browsing Plan.

AT&T in your face! Nokia N95 or the 8GB version has come to North-American soil but Rogers snatched it first. Good job to the Canadians behind this move and don't worry everyone, Nokia N95 will be coming to the USA too and we'll tell you when that happens!

Nokia and T-Mobile have announced today a plan for future collaboration. Their goal is to accelerate the implementation and further use of internet applications on mobile devices. T-Mobile's customers will benefit from Nokia's Ovi portal for apps, music, games, maps and more while Nokia will customize their services for T-Mobile.

This partnership will generate new widgets, more web applications and will possibly lead to a better integration of a social networking like T-Mobile's My Faves. Nokia has signed similar deals with carriers like Telefonica, Vodafone and Orange and so it was just a matter of time until they got an agreement with T-Mobile. With iPhone breathing down their neck, Nokia will have to further develop their phones related applications and getting such partnerships with more carriers seems the smart way to do it.

The yet-to-be officially announced Nokia 6205 could be seen with these photos. The Nokia 6205 will be an entry-level handset exclusively for Verizon Wireless. There is not much known information about the Nokia 6205 just yet, although the handset will reportedly feature 1x data and no EV-DO, external music controls, and basic VGA camera with flash. Since the images on the screen look small, Phone Arena surmises that it probably doesn't have QVGA resolution. In all, the clamshell Nokia 6205 seems to be a very basic (hopefully) low-end phone.

How about getting your traffic reports on the go? Imagine driving through the interstate and checking your phone for the best route - with less traffic - to your destination. Well, you can probably do that as Nokia and ARC Transistance, the European network of automobile clubs, has gone into talks to provide users with real-time traffic information. This is said to be included in the new Nokia Maps 2.0, and in future versions of Nokia Maps.

With this integration, drivers will be alerted of traffic jams and conditions. This could probably shorten travel time and could result in a much safer for travel for citizens. When Nokia Maps receives the road updates from ARC Transistance, the application can dynamicly re-route during navigation and provide a faster route. This is a significant milestone for Nokia Maps, which makes navigation an even more compelling experience for Nokia device owners.
