Nokia Strapup Phone Bracelet Is Ideal for Clubbers

29/01/2009 19:30 par slaytane

Nokia Strapup is the ideal tool for party people and it’s not quite a phone, in the proper meaning of the word. The bracelet-shaped device sends predefined messages to your friends, which are triggered by your movements, while dancing. No typing, no fuss… Just dance and your friends will find out where you are and what’re you doing, having a good time that is.

Nokia claims that it doesn’t plan to manufacture this bracelet phone too soon…

Nokia Neo Concept Phone XpressMusic Design Gone Low-End

29/01/2009 19:27 par slaytane

Don’t throw stones at me for calling this Nokia concept a low-end, but the handset sure looks like one, unlike a very similar Nokia concept phone we’ve shown you a while back.

You can compare the two designs, if you want, but Nokia Neo (first image) is surely the less specced phone, as for the older device, it’s theoretically an XpressMusic handset (second image).

iPod-stycle clickwheel in the mix? Probably not… or not any time soon.

Nokia 5700 classic

The 5 megapixel Nokia 6700 classic is the latest S40 device by Nokia, considered as a modern successor of the popular Nokia 6300 and expected to become a bestseller as its forerunner.

The feature-rich specs sheet of the Nokia 6700 classic will serve you with stuff such as a 5 megapixel autofocus camera, GPS navigation with Nokia Maps and the awesome Nokia WebKit Open Source Browser, previously available only on the Symbian S60 smartphones.

At only 11mm of thickness, the Nokia 6700 sports a full metal keymat, a 2.2-inch 16M color QVGA display and supports both quad-band GSM and tri-band UMTS networks (plus HSDPA up to 10 Mbps).

The Nokia 6700 classic also has a built-in accelerometer for tap-for-clock and turn-to-mute features, which we first saw in the Nokia Arte lineup.

Unfortunately, video recording with 6700c maxes out at VGA@15fps (or CIF@30fps) and there doesn't seem to be Wi-Fi connectivity or even a document viewer, which were both available on the Nokia 6260 slide.

Much like the 6260 slide however, there will be Flash Light 3 support, which should allow watching Flash video on the go. The Windows Live messenger will also come preinstalled on the device.

The Nokia 6700 will ship with 1GB microSD card in Silver metallic, Matte metallic, Black metallic, and Brown metallic colors at an estimated retail price of 235 euro in Q3 2009.

Nokia 6303

Nokia 6303 classic aims at the lower midrange market with a 3 megapixel fixed focus camera, a 2.2 inch QVGA 16M color display, Nokia Maps, and a 3.5mm audio jack.

At 11.7mm thickness, the Nokia 6303 has tri-band GSM support and no 3G. The microSD memory card slot accepts cards up to 4GB, while the FM radio supports RDS.

The Nokia 6303 also uses the excellent Nokia WebKit Open Source Browser, previously available only on the Symbian S60 smartphones and has Flash Lite 3 support, which should allow for watching Flash videos online.

The Nokia 6303 will ship in Q3 2009 with 1GB microSD car in Matt Black or Steel at an estimated retail price of 135 euro before subsidies and taxes.

Nokia 4G Concept Prototype Wraps Around Your Wrist, Is Flexible

14/01/2009 12:08 par slaytane

2 years before Nokia Morph was designed, there was another promising flexible concept phone that could be wrapped around your wrist. There’s also a pretty neat earpiece concept included in the design and once you unwrap the Nokia 4G Phone, you’ll see a beautiful and simplistic interface.
Touchscreen is once again at work and the user interacts with it thanks to a stylus. I suppose that Morph borrowed a couple of elements from this Nokia 4G prototype, even the color, if you’re really into details.

Open bracelet

Remember the Nokia Open concept phone? It was a quite famous design of a handset that looked like a fan and now it turns out that it is accompanied by an accessory, Nokia Open Bracelet.

This “emotive” gadget is a fashion item, a bracelet adorned by silver elements that features a tiny circular display.

The small screen lets you know who’s calling, by interfacing with the handset via Bluetooth and displaying a color-coded message. Hot colors mean that a friend/someone from your family is calling, while cold ones mean that strangers of business partners want to talk to you.

Nokia Open Bracelet’s display can also be used as a watch, or as a screen that reproduces images.

Nokia Aeon Gets Resurrected Through the Ripple Concept

23/12/2008 14:22 par slaytane

We never thought we’d seen something similar to Nokia Aeon again, although there were a few Chinese handsets that resembled that beauty. Now, Jeffrey Gerlach designed the Ripple Phone, which practically revives the Aeon concept, as it sports a dual multi-touch OLED screen and a very slim profile.

Ripple also features an alpha-numeric keypad, a mini USB port for charging and data transfer, a 5 megapixel camera and integrated hand grip. Aside from the numeric keypad, there’s also the onscreen virtual QWERTY one, divided into 2 segments, but still easy to use.

Also, I’ve got to admit that the photo menu looks quite hot and overall the device is very promising.

Nokia 8800 Gold Arte

The latest piece of art in the Arte lineup appeared at Nokia website without a proper introduction from the manufacturer. The new Nokia 8800 Gold Arte follows on the Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte but adds quite some luxury and tackiness to the package. The functionality remains identical, but you know - when it comes to Arte, plain technical capabilities just don't tell the whole story.

The main selling point of the new Nokia 8800 Gold Arte is the 18-carat gold plating and the high quality white genuine leather.

The Nokia 8800 Gold Arte has no other secrets as everything else is inherited by the 8800 Carbon Arte. And like it, the Gold Arte packs a 2" QVGA OLED display with 16 M colors, 4GB on board memory (non-upgradable as there`s no memory card slot) and 3.2-megapixel autofocus snapper.

The accelerometer-based features such as tap-for-time and turn-to-mute are also available as before.

Price tag and availability are still unknown however we`ll keep you posted when more info surfaces.
