Nokia c6 c7 e7 n8 and everything else

Ever since the release of Apple’s iPhone 4 and the storm it has been creating in the telecom world, I have been wondering how the other major mobile phone giants could ever hope to cope with this. But my thoughts have been proven absolutely wrong by Nokia when it announced its 3 new smartphones – Nokia C6, C7 & E7 and also showcased Nokia N8 at the Nokia World 2010 held in London(14th-15th september).

Well, frankly speaking, i neither go to the event nor i experienced the  devices in my hands. I am just sharing some very great insights into these smartphone devices, courtesy the Nokia bloggers from around the world who had gone there in person.

Nokia N8: Will we see it?

Update: Nokia N8 has been sighted at outlets.

It had been revealed by Nokia India that the flagship Nokia N8 will be launched by the end of the third quarter, that is by end of September. But so far, there has been no news of this highly hyped device, which leads us to believe that the N8 will be delayed like every other flagship that Nokia has brought out since they started the NSeries line 5 years ago.

Contacting the guys at Nokia has seen them denying the fact that the Nokia N8 is delayed.

Crazy Indian Government

As part of security measures by the Indian government ahead of the double trouble of the CWG and the Babri Masjid hearing, they've put in place some very intuitive plans to curb communication among wanna-be terrorists and villains.

They do this by ordering Indian telecom service providers to monitor all individuals who send more than 10 messages per day and all companies who send more than 100 messages per day!!!

Are they dumb, or is just that they're downright crazy?


Every teen i know texts more than a 100 sms per day and if these people think teens in India are a minority think again.

The telecom guys are sure gonna be busy the coming weeks.

Nokia Management undergoes a slew of changes

Anssi Vanjoki, the head of Nokia's mobile solutions unit, is resigning following the appointment of outsider Stephen Elop as chief executive of the world's biggest cellphone maker. He had been working with Nokia since 1991.

"This marks the end of an era at Nokia and could signal further management changes to follow," UK-based telecoms research firm CCS Insight said in a note.

Nokia e97 - Envelop form factor

Pics of a concept Nokia e97 fished from the web.

The Motorola Sirf3 GPS

What all modern smartphones lack is a good gps module. The one that comes embedded in them is so slow and has such a delayed response that they're truly useless in their function.


In Kerala, on a rainy day, first satellite lock is achieved on a nokia n900 in 2 minutes. After that we get locks in under a minute.

With the motorola gps, the n900 achieves initial satellite lock in a minute subsequent locks are achieved in 3 secs. Using this device vastly increases the performance of all the navigation and mapping apps in the phone. The acceleration and speedo check works like a charm with the sirf3 module. The internal gps resulted in a lot of errors in the results of these apps. I got my gps module for testing from mobilefun. I did see some different models for gps recievers in the bluetooth accessories section like a keychain styled one and a cube-like design as well. But the SIRF-3 turned out to be quite a high performer =)

This device also comes with free motonav service that lets you use navigation on almost any phone even java phones!
