We met Mauricio of Visto walking round the Symbian Smartphone Show last week and — well — you could hear an audible squeak of excitement from us as he brought out a Nokia ‘Exx’. That’s right.. it’s an E— something. We thought it could possibly be the E63 — and Mauricio did let slip that name.

  In the middle of 2007, Nokia has released the N95 smartphone, which became the most "packed" mobile phone of that time. It has combined high efficiency and powerful multimedia features, for what the manufacturer has named N95 a multimedia computer. After a year, Nokia has presented the successor of the first multimedia computer – the N96 smartphone. It was expected, that Nokia N96 will lift the smartphones edge of functionality on a new level. But the manufacturer has decided in another way. If N95 was a multipurpose combine or the smartphone-monster, then with N96 is another story, it has a precisely expressed specialization - it is made for video work. The smartphone’s orientation on a video content is emphasized by several things. First, Nokia N96 has installed a big 2,8 inches screen, displaying 16 million colors. Its maximal resolution - 240х320 pixels. The picture is very bright and juicy. On the sun, even if the screen fades, but the image remains clear. Besides, the mobile phone is equipped with mobile TV reception module. Also, N96 can search for videoclips in the Network and automatically sort them according to the user’s inquiry. An addition which emphasizes the smartphone video orientation is the leaning back frame of

Nokia has decided that touchscreens need a makeover, and a wet one at that. Using water as a membrane in this concept handset, the phone's screen uses the liquid to raise and lower buttons in the relevant places. The main issue with touchscreens is the problem of accuracy when pressing the virtual keys. Haptic feedback, which produces vibration when the right area is hit, helps somewhat, but still doesn't allow for blind typing. Other capacitive options use slightly raised screens in places to help users, but these lose the lovely flush nature of devices like the Nokia 5800 and the Apple iPhone. The new concept can inflate and deflate as needed, which makes this gadget so futuristic it should be covered in foil and live on Mars. source

  Everyone has kind of expected this, but it’s surely good to hear an official confirmation: Nokia will soon come up with an Nseries touchscreen smartphone. As reported by Cellpassion, Devinder Kishore, Nokia India’s Director of Marketing, said during an event held in New Delhi: “We will have lots of touchscreen phones coming up, including an N-series device very soon.” This “very soon” might mean that the official unveiling of the full-touch Nseries will happen before the end of 2008. Great news for all Nokia and Symbian fans, indeed. The name of the first Nseries smartphone to come with a touchscreen display is not known for the moment, but it could very well be Nokia N97. A logical successor to N95 and N96. Almost certainly, the touchscreen Nseries device will run on the new Symbian S60 5th Edition OS, announced by Nokia at the same time with the 5800 XpressMusic. Since there is no word yet on how the first touchscreen Nseries looks like, I’ve combined the N96 with the interface of 5800, for a possible preview on the future smartphone: What do you think, could Nokia come up with something like this? :) Well, regardless of its design, the touchscreen Nseries will probably bring extra features when

Nokia E71 - it is more than a work on the previous E61i QWERTY-smartphone’s mistakes. The device combines in itself the functionality of a business assistant and a much more attractive appearance in comparison with the predecessors. Originally, the idea of ruler E (in particular, smartphones with full QWERTY keyboard) was intended exclusively to business-users: a maximum of features for work, Wi-Fi, lack of digital camera and other multimedia features. Actually, the implementation of these conditions can be seen only in the first model - Е61. In the following reincarnations of the E- models, practically all the multimedia opportunities have been returned to the consumer. The market of the QWERTY keyboard phones is not characterized by dynamism, its target audience is narrow, and the announcements of similar devices are infrequent outside America – the main lands of BlackBerry-devices. In this light, it becomes especially important to update the E segment. After the Е71 release - the newest model in the QWERTY devices series - a serious blank between the devices indexes was formed (after consecutive release of Е61 and Е61i). However, the indexes difference evidently shows significant distinctions in functional saturation
