Nokia X3. Here be giants

September 4th, 2009

The Nokia X3 is part of a slew of recent announcements from the Finnish giants.

Wait… not real giants… although that would be pretty amazing, right? Massive Finnish ogre like people, big as mountains, making announcements about things. CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL, STOP PRODUCING CARBON. That would sort us right out, terrifying as huge giants are.

But anyway, the Finns in question here are of course everyone’s favourite phone manufacturers Nokia, and they have been very busy making all sorts of announcements about the Nokia Money, Nokia N900, Nokia Booklet 3G, Nokia 5230 and Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition and today’s blog topic, the Nokia X3. Which, annoyingly enough, as we like the image, is nothing at all like a giant. Just the opposite, in fact, because the X3 is all about good stuff in small (and cheap) packages. So while you’ve got lots of Nokia’s amazing music technology (cool player, loud stereo speakers, etc), this thing’s got a release price that made us spill our coffee. Which even if your not a pay as you goer will still translate into some mightily impressive Nokia X3 deals. Not only that, but this is also the first Series 40 (the basic, simple, likeable operating platform that you all know and love) to offer direct access to all the apps and sharing functions available on the ever expanding Ovi. And it’s also been designed for lots of social messaging action, with dedicated support for Facebook, Twitter, and lots of instant messaging clients.

Sound like a giant lot of fun (Sorry, we’ll stop with the giants now…)? Then check out this Nokia X3 review, or have a little look at the video below. Just a very little look mind, because as you should expect from those mighty Finns, it’s a shocker of a video. I guess those big giant fingers aren’t so good at using video editing software.

Nokia 5530 XpressMusic. Economically viable

June 23rd, 2009

After weeks of basically toying with internet gossip mongers, Nokia have finally released details of the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic, the strangely numbered new version of the 5800. The lower number might be in some way related to the reduction in dimensions, weight, and even features in the all new, slimmed down version. Like so many Nokia phone’s, the 5800 was something of a slow burner. With the looks of the long rumoured original a league below that of their obvious competitor the iPhone, many wrote off the 5800 when it was released, but the feedback from those who’ve taken the plunge has been almost uniformly high, and it’s no surprise the sequel is now confirmed.

The 5530 XpressMusic is going to launch at a far lower price than the 5800 (and indeed far far lower than many of its competitors) and there’s a few simple reasons why Nokia have been able to achieve this. Like a model of a post-credit-crunch business, in fact, the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic has slashed and booted out everything previously employed that has now been deemed inessential. Gone is the 3G capabilities (the WiFi being deemed enough connectivity), gone is some of the screen size (though the remaining 2.9” screen is being forced to work even harder, resulting in a much crisper image) and gone is the GPS (with the hope being users want to navigate little more than social networking sites). And you know what, we think they’re all good choices, and it really shows. The 5530 still plays music better than an iPhone (better even than an iPod), still has widescreen video viewing, still has a great, intuitive operating system. Check out a full rundown of the stats in this Nokia 5530 review.

So it’s already got our vote. This is the point we’d normally point to a video to back us up, but seeing as how Nokia seemed to have slashed their marketing budget as well and got an intern to make this demo video, you might need to believe us despite it, rather than because of it…
