Where’s the E71?

Written by Meraj Chhaya on May 14, 2008 – 2:37 pm

The Nokia E71 hasn’t even been announced by Nokia themselves, nevermind started shipping, although few retailers already have them, which is quite strange.

As we await for more news on the next E-series device, we can only stare at the pictures:

Nokia releases v200 firmware for E90

Written by Meraj Chhaya on April 4, 2008 – 6:22 pm

There is a strong possibility that Nokia’s team has drank Redbull in excess. Thursday, Steve Litchfield caught a fault in Nokia Software Update site, it appeared that v200.34.72 firmware was available, from the previous v7.40.12 firmware.

The changes as follows:

  • Flash Lite 3 added, with Flash video support
  • Support for Web runtime is probably here as well, it tends to come along with FL3 - can anyone confirm this?
  • Maps won’t open (for me, at least), you get instructed to go to the web for the latest version. Clumsy. On the web, v1.0 is shown and v1.02 is served up, which at least installs and runs fine. I’m sure the latest v2.0 beta would, too.
  • New ‘Set up Internet telephony’ shortcut on standby screen
  • Includes Quickoffice 4.1.27.5, many enhancements over the old 3.85, although without the extra functions of the v4.5 and v5.0 paid upgrades. There are also extra options in Quickmanager, specifically more rebrands of Epocware products. The new Quickoffice is apparently back-ported from the version which will be standard in S60 3rd Edition FP2.
  • Application opening and booting seem faster. I don’t think that v200 has demand paging though - seems more like optimisations.
  • A boat load of bug fixes and tweaks. The ‘Today’/# bug in Calendar seems to have gone away. Anyone confirm this with a decent size Calendar dataset? Also, let’s hope Web is more stable!

However, there some faults in Maps and Web applications according to Steve, and Nokia has removed the update from their website and NSU application, few corrections, and “v200″ will be ready again.

Nokia E52 (Photoshop fake)

Written by Meraj Chhaya on March 28, 2008 – 10:38 pm

To the average user it might look real, and in a smaller resolution it might even deceive a mobile phone blogger, but a simple inspection can point out the mistakes here.

The keypad for once is really too big, you don’t find those in any Nokia slider, and even if you did, the way it fits the image doesn’t make sense somehow. Another little detail was the top of the front panel slider, which is too rounded and the shades don’t look realistic. Nevertheless it was a great try, and if we played along, it would make a good gossip.

Nokia E90 v2 in MWC?

Written by Meraj Chhaya on February 20, 2008 – 2:10 pm

That was kind of unofficial, but Cellpassion got a glimpse of it.

It seems that there aren’t many changes, only exterior ones, Nokia realised that the E90 needed a plastic surgery for better build quality. I’m not sure how "better" this edition is, but according to most sources, it’s worth to wait for this than buy the regular E90.

If you look to the E90 in the picture you will notice that it has a new colour, it seems bigger, and has no scratches on the display, unlike it’s counterpart on the right.
