Nokia Mobile Phones

Considering the sheer volume of 5800 XpressMusics that Nokia has sold over the past year and a half, it’s little wonder that they’ve got a few dedicated hackers out there working on keeping the company’s first S60 Fifth Edition device up to date, isn’t it? Sure enough, the C6′s updated skin with legit home screen widgets has been shoehorned onto both the 5800 and its 5530 sibling — and although the update process seems like a bit of a nightmare fraught with bricking dangers, a successful update means you might be able to go another year without shelling out for a new set. Cheers to that, we say. Follow the break for the firmware in action on a 5800.

The Symbian^3 is still just a glint in our eyes, but that launch date is fast approaching and here’s a neat little accessory to keep up excitement for the platform: the Mobile TV Headset. You know how most phones use the cord of your earphones as an FM aerial? Well, this thing does the same, only with DVB-H teevee signals, piping them straight through into your USB-on-the-go-equipped Nokia handset. It comes with channel-changing, call-receiving, and volume controls, and will set you back €40 ($51) before taxes in Q4 of this year.

Mobile Geek Inc. has unearthed some interesting images which apparently reveals that the C6-01 runs on the much-coveted Symbian^3. The image of the phone had initially popped up on Netherlands’ Nokia Online Store.Previously, there were hearsays about the phone coming with an 8MP camera. Well, now thanks to the images found by the site we fathom that it could be a full touchscreen without a keypad. They were found on a German website called NokiaPort.de and a user agent profile. These images have shown that the handset is for real and might soon be released.The phone is said to be coming with a 360 x 640 pixel touchscreen display. Supporting Wi-Fi and GPS, it is said to offer the ability to access Ovi Maps. Since the UAP said that it has a ‘PhoneKeyPad’, it could only mean no QWERTY slide-out keypad for this device. Furthermore, the image above compares both the C6s with the original having a space between the sliding mechanisms which the 01 apparently does not. This could also mean that it does not have a sliding keyboard.
