The November 2008 issue of WIRED magazine - the test issue - awarded top scores to the Nokia E71 as the Test Best Cell Phone. Designed for messaging, navigation and other top multimedia features, the E71 scored 9/10. WIRED editors called it a road warrior on the ball - without being too much of a business phone.

The E71 features two screens - one that places all your work related apps together (including Excel and PowerPoint), and another for your entertainment - audio/video and gaming. A dedicated button lets you switch between the two screens. The slimmest QWERTY phone also features 3G, HSDPA and WLAN support, Nokia Maps with A-GPS and a browser with Flash support.

The last time Nokia put up a countdown timer on its site, the N82 was born. This time, with the accompanying MWC itinerary revealing nothing, I would wager on the N96, recently leaked by an irked German, and/or the S60 Touch. Either way, I would love to see the unbelievably packed N96 become a reality or even Nokia take on Apple with a far more superior device than the iPhone. But hey, with roughly 30 hours to go, we won’t have to wait too long, do we?

Talks of color variants for the Nokia N82 were rampant. This time around, we get real pics of the milk white version of the Nokia N82. The front façade remains the same but the back looks like it’s been white-washed. And I must say, I like.

More pics after the jump.

Make way for another 5 megapixel camera - umm, make that cameraphone - from Nokia. The new Nokia N82 is the latest “multimedia computer” optimized for photography, and the ability to share photos instantly. Boasting Carl Zeiss optics and Xenon flash, the N82 is the N95’s successor. The phone also features A-GPS and comes pre-installed with Nokia Maps. Depending on your location, you will also have an option to purchase free voice-guided navigation as a trial.

The N82 apparently takes great photos even in low light, and with a dedicated autofocus assist lamp, can easily replace another gadget in your backpack. Add to it the already popular high-quality video recording and you have one converged device with the N82. A 2GB microSD memory card is supplied with the phone - good for 900 hi-res photos or about 84 minutes of video.

With Wi-Fi support, you can conveniently upload all your photos onto the many, many online communities. A new 3D multimedia menu is now available, and the phone features an orientation sensor that switches the UI between portrait and landscape modes.

Priced at €450, the Nokia N82 is now out in the wild.

There has been several advertisement coming out of Google concerning a new Nokia N81. From the pictures we see, we can quickly conclude that it is both a mobile phone and media player rolled into one. Of course a lot of mobile devices have already incorporated this functionality but this is quite intriguing as no details have been released about it yet.

Everyone has to see for himself though as this is one of those viral campaigns wherein users are given clues about an upcoming product, but never really given the complete set of information.

As seen on the site, there is a sort of countdown timer. Thus, we will all have to wait and expect some sort of details or press release about this product in a few weeks (or months) from now. The domain has been registered to a company in the U.K. known as Lightmaker, they appear to be a web design company, so no info can be gleaned from this info.

Anyway, you can see the site for yourself here.
