The much-delayed Nokia N80 is finally coming close to being released, and Sogi.com have managed to get their hands on one for a full-featured review. The N80 is a stunning technological show-stopper from Nokia, cramming in an extraordinary array of features. WiFi, Bluetooth, UPnP, 3 megapixel camera, 3G, VGA video camera, MP3 player and support for up to 2GB of storage are just some of the features of this amazing phone.
The Nokia 770 Internet Tablet looks glorious, and is certainly extremely desirable. How usable it will be, though, remains to be seen. It’s not actually meant to be a mobile phone – indeed, it has no mobile phone capabilities at all, relying completely on WLAN for its connectivity. Rather, it’s designed as a platform to browse the web and read email over WLAN. You can also use it to stream files, tune in to Internet radio, News Reader, or play videos and music.
Hot on the heels of delaying the much-hyped, mobsharing potential of the wi-fi-enabled N91, Nokia have announced another mobile-music phone that’s actually very similar to its delayed sibling. The Nokia 3250 isn’t an N-series phone, so isn’t meant to be…
2004 was clearly the year of the mobile phone camera, with resolutions reaching the useable 1 megapixel limit, and SonyEricsson and Nokia releasing phones with cameras that actually took decent pictures. Now, though, fashion has moved on. The mobile phones…

OK, I could be accused of being cynical, but this amazing looking phone looks too good to be true. It’s a 2 megapixel camera plus video recording phone with ‘Carl Zeiss lens’ (oooh!) – so far so good, what we’d expect for the next gen phones, and a nice step up from the current crop of 1 megapixellers. Not quite as good as some of the camera resolutions available elsewhere, but good all the same, and Nokia are noted for decent quality images from their phones (link here). The real seller, of course, is the amazing looks of the thing!
I mean, look at it – see it twist, see it flip, imagine your mates’ faces when you get it out casually, and before their very eyes start making little origami shapes out of your phone! Forget the quality of the gadgets, look at the thing twist!
So, you’re a mobile phone company, everyone says this is the year of the music mobile phone. Sony Ericsson has its Walkman brand, Motorola’s eloped with Apple’s iTunes, and you…well you have no music brand. Damn it! Guess you’ll have to focus on features instead then.
And thank Nokia for that! Nokia’s latest handset, coming to Blighty October 2005, not only focuses on music features, it overdoses on them. 4GB hard disk gives serious space for all your tunes, which can be downloaded over the air, over bluetooth, via USB, or, best of all, over a WLAN connection!
