The battle between Apple and Nokia has finally come to an end after 20 months of dispute. The battle was in regards to the lawsuit that Nokia filed against Apple in 2009, stating that they were crossing the patent border.
The Finnish giant alleged that all iPhones violated 10 of their Espoo patents that were associated with Wi-Fi, GSM, and UMTS. Nokia continued to state that countless of other companies had paid for a license in order to make use of the technology, yet Apple was the only one to disagree on the terms. Finally, this has been settled and it has been decided that Apple must make one single payment upfront but also continuing allowances to the Espoo-based giant.
The detailed stipulations of the agreement are not to be disclosed. In addition, the resolution also includes that both parties will proceed to remove their complaints from the United States ITC (International Trade Commission). Nokia continued to announce that they were very satisfied with the conclusion of the 20-month litigation, and that they were more than happy to finally have Apple onboard as one of their licensees. +Continue Reading

The Nokia C5-03 can be called a smartphone which satisfies your budget too. Why? This device comes with a 600MHz processor which runs the outdated Symbian OS faster than any of the competitors. This is the fastest processor for any Nokia S60 device. At a minimum price range this phone will give you the functions and features of any pricey smartphone running the leading mobile OS’s in the market, like iOS or Android.
As the name suggests, the phone should have looked like the C5 which is a Symbian candy bar phone with simple look and full of features but it rather followed the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music which is one of the most successful devices ever produced by Nokia. It’s sticking with the older version of Symbian, a not a very impressive side of the phone though and its look and feel has been similar to the latest version of Symbian, Symbian^3. But there are some more shortcomings which you will have to face as you are getting it at the price of a feature phone of any other brand. +Continue Reading

Today we will talk about Nokia E7, a device that the Finnish mobile producer it’s going to release it soon, this year. It will target Business Smartphone market and is expected to have a high price.

Nokia had just announced yesterday a new mobile device, X3-02 Touch and Type, that combines a touchscreen with a 16-button keypad. The touchscreen display has 2.4-inches and supports a 240 x 320 pixel resolution and up to 262k colors. Camera has 5 megapixel, full focus, 4x digital zoom, noise reduction, but lacks a LED flash. Series 40 software platform is supported and they claim will hold up thousands of apps and games from Ovi Store.
The Finnish company really makes a difference when they have to design a cheap phone with quality specs and X3-02 is definitely the one to choose: 3G, GPRS, EDGE, Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1, microUSB, 3.5 mm audio jack. Unfortunately it lacks GPS, but this is not a big issue for a phone user.
Nokia X3 Touch and Type wants to be a middle-range phone with quality features, low price, but still manage to follow the touchscreen and keyboard trend. It will be available in the Q3 of this year and have a €125 retail price, excluding taxes and subsidies.

Sometimes you look for something simple and straightforward in a mobile phone, and some of the most basic and easy to use phones are made by Nokia. A lot of their classic models are not only solidly built but also extremely durable, so they will take quite a beating. The Nokia 6700 Slide is a phone you’d think would be one of these simple phones, an updated version of the 6500 Slide and at the same time a slide version of the 6700 Classic. Yet this phone has a few surprises in store.
The Series 40 operating system of the previous models has been replaced with Symbian version 9.3, an interesting move on Nokia’s part as this system is known for being very unreliable and freezing often. An ARM 11 600 MHz processor completes the view, but we think this was not necessary as the phone lacks both GPS and Wi-Fi features. On the other hand, its HSPA provides lightning fast Internet connectivity, with a download capacity of up to 10Mbps and uploads of up to 2Mbps. The impressive 3G connection is supplemented by Bluetooth 2.0 and USB connectivity as well. +Continue Reading
