Nokia E61i

Despite its quirky “1960s scientific calculator” looks and lack of US-band 3G support, the Nokia E61i is one of the best smartphones in the world.  The combination of a strong WiFi antenna, the flexible power of the S60 Symbian operating system, and what might be the best QWERTY keypad to be found on any phone makes the E61i a workhorse mobile communicator equally at home in the board room and on the road. While many would-be Nokia...

Nokia N76 Red

Back in January 2007 I had the chance to tour Nokia’s N-Series Pavilion at CES in Las Vegas.  The buzz was all about the N95, Nokia’s then-unreleased flagship device with its 5MP camera, GPS, and extensive list of other features.  But the N75 also caught my eye for two main reasons.  First, it was by far the sleekest, sexiest handset I’d ever seen with the Nokia name on it.  Second, it was being demoed with big ol’ DJ...

Nokia N75

Nokia’s N-Series is their high-end line of “multimedia computers,” which are generally sold as unlocked handsets and marketed more in Europe than here in the states. With their giant N-Series pavilion at CES 2007 in Las Vegas, the Finnish handset maker stated their intention to turn American consumers on to the ways of multimedia computing. Along with opening Flagship stores in Chicago and New York City and a dozen or so “Experience Centers”...

Nokia N95

Nokia's flagship handset, the N95, rests at the top of their N-Series line of multimedia computers.  This long awaited mobile literally does it all, from phone calls to GPS-enabled driving directions, music to video, Bluetooth to WiFi, and then some.  The N95 also represents the state of the art in camera phone technology, featuring a five megapixel auto-focus shooter with a full 30 frames per second video mode - the best specs on any...

Nokia N95

Calling the Nokia N95 a cell phone would only be half true. In actuality the phone is more of a modern marvel in wireless synergy. A device that includes the connectivity of a cellular device, while offering a bevy of hosted hardware and software tools, specifically for the user who wants, forgive me, for users who demand the most out of their cellular devices. The Sleek and surprisingly small design of the Nokia N95 (99 x 53 x 21 mm) offers...

Nokia 5300 Black

Nokia has been pushing their high-end N-Series "multimedia computer" handsets in the United States over the past year, going so far as to open flagship stores in New York and Chicago where consumers can purchase the devices unlocked for use on T-Mobile, Cingular, and other GSM networks.  The Finnish cellular giant's business devices have also been gaining a little traction here in the states, with the E62 holding a place down in Cingular's...

Nokia E62

The Nokia E62 is an amazing PDA phone and is targeted for business professionals. With all the new Smartphones being released by HTC, Motorola and Samsung, Nokia had to jump on the bandwagon too. The E62 is one of the latest successors of the Nokia E-series. The E62 runs the Symbian OS 9.1 which has many great features. The E62 is almost the same as the E61 but does not offer features like Wifi. Overall which is better Windows or Symbian OS? Is...

Nokia n91 Grey

Any handset make with a music phone on the market will now have to face the inevitable comparison to a certain computer company's newly unveiled entry into the mobile marketplace.  However as flashy as the iPhone looks to be, companies like Nokia, Sony Ericsson, and LG have been equipping cell phones with digital music players for quite awhile now.  Nokia's N91 is something of a breakthrough product in that its one of the first...

Nokia N93

I received the Nokia N93 just in time to take it with me on vacation to Kauai, HI.  As it turns out, there couldn't have been a better test scenario for Nokia's flagship "Multimedia Computer."  The N93 was made for vacations - or anywhere else you might have a need for top-quality imaging and mobile communications. More a camcorder with cell phone capabilities than a phone with a camera built-in, the N93 boasts a 3.2 megapixel Carl...

Nokia N73 Deep Plum Silver

Sometimes I wonder what the mobile phone industry would be like if each manufacturer was limited to, say, five new releases per year. Ideally they'd be forced to divvy up their wares into clearly defined segments and make one exemplary model per segment. For instance, a company might make one excellent smartphone, one super high-end multimedia phone, one slim/fashion phone, one solid mid-range phone, and one inexpensive or specialty phone. ...

Nokia E70

Simply put, Nokia's E70 is one of the most advanced, innovative mobile phones on the market today.  The E70's fold-out QWERTY keyboard harkens back to the design of Nokia's 6800 messaging phone released in 2003, but its feature set is pure cutting-edge 2006.  From the Symbian 9.1 (Series 60) Operating System to built-in WiFi, Blackberry/VoIP support, MS Office document compatibility, and perhaps the best mobile Web browser currently...

Nokia 6131

For a company not known for their flip-style phones, the 6131 is a stylish surprise from Nokia.  Done up in soft-finish black plastic with chrome trim, this quad-band GSM handset toes the visual line between business and fashion.  Though the phone isn't nearly so slim as the newest handsets from Motorola and Samsung, the 6131 is comfortable in hand and pocket alike.  More importantly, it packs a brilliant internal...

Nokia 6101/6102

The Nokia 6101/6102 is truly one of a kind. The phone fits both your hand and your heart, and is the only phone that smiles back at you. Weighing in at only 3.42 ounces, this handset surely has a lot to offer. The Nokia 6101/6102's ease of use and its comfortable form factor make it rather impressive. Audio Messaging as well as Picture and Video Messaging are processed almost instantly because of this handsets EDGE capability....
