Nokia X7 Gets an Early Hands-on From Three UK
Another leak for you this Sunday. Three UK has an unlisted video of an early hands-on video for the Nokia X7. It’s got a 4-inch CBD display (like the Nokia E7), new browser and firmware with the portrait QWERTY keyboard. Check it out before Three makes the video private like Nokia’s latest official videos.
Official Nokia X7 & Nokia E6 Videos Uploaded Early, Private for Now
Nokia is preparing to announce the Nokia X7 and E6. How do I know? They uploaded videos of the two devices but made them private. I have a feeling these will be the devices that will be announced on April 12th. Links and blurry photos after the jump.
There is No Nokia Event on April 12th
Nokia has clarified that there will be some Symbian announcements on April 12th, but not in the form of a webcast or any other kind of presentation. A lot of websites published about an event when an online flyer was first seen on Mad for Tech, then reported by Engadget. I’m not expecting much, but I’m still looking forward to the announcements.
App Demo of Nokia Drop. It Rocks!
Nokia has an official video of Nokia Drop, but I thought you might like a demo on video from an unofficial source. It’s a brand new app from Nokia Beta Labs and I like it a lot! It’s a simple and easy way to push content to your device from your web browser. You can instantly change your phone’s wallpaper, send image as a file to your phone, send URL to your phone.
Nokia E7 Now Available in the US
The wait is over. The Nokia E7 has finally reached the US. It was announced last September and started shipping in February at certain parts of the world. The Nokia USA online shop has it in stock now for $679, while Amazon has it for $649. It seems a little high. Are you opening your wallets for the E7?
Nokia to Release 12 More Smartphones in 2011
A Nokia Exec told Hindustan Times (HT) that Nokia is planning to release 12 more smartphones in 2011. We could even see some of these phones this month. Don’t expect any Nokia Windows phones, though. Those devices probably won’t come out until next year. Nokia expects to sell millions of Symbian devices in years to come, so I’ll assume most of the 12 upcoming smartphones this year will be running that OS.
Nokia C7 Gets Driven Over by Bus, Astoundingly Survives
