Nokia started work on WidSets which would offer the very latest and wide variety of applications, games, feeds etc. They would be compatible with various pones from various manufacturers.
Now there’s news that the WidSets site by Nokia would be changed into the OVI Store which Nokia describes as the one-stop global store for mobile games, apps, videos, social content etc. Nokia announced that from the 1st of June 2009, the WidSets account will no longer be available.

Apart from just being pioneer in manufacturing and marking mobiles, Nokia is experimenting on some other ways to attract people towards its brand that would in turn benefit the company in long term basis.
For instance, I came across a “Nokia Green Explorer” initiative initiated by Nokia, that would help people share and gain knowledge about places they are visiting. Continue reading “Green Explorer Initiative Kicked off by Nokia!”
PC World reported about a vulnerable and dangerous flaw in one the basic black and white models of Nokia – Nokia 1100.
According to the reports and fraud inspection experts, a specific batch of Nokia 1100 produced by some European manufacturer has some flaws using which, a criminal/hacker can intercept SMS that can be exploited to hack bank accounts and as such, the phone that used to cost not more than 100 euro is now highly in demand and some are even willing to pay thousands of Euros for such faulty handsets.

We just posted the new v21 Firmware for Nokia 5800
My Buddy GerryMoth at NokiaAddict has posted a rather interesting change log he discovered while updating his Nokia 5800 to the v21 firmware
1. Quicker booting up – It seems to let you ‘take control’ a lot quicker than before.
2. As mentioned before you can make the menu button ‘breathe’ when the phone is in standby. It will flash twice if there is a missed call, message or email.
3. Music Player is showing BIG cover art – something that annoyed me in V20 was the fact the cover art was shrunk.
4. No longer switches predictive text off after you’ve used the Full Screen QWERTY keyboard and gone back to the regular keypad.
5. ‘Applications’ has been renamed ‘Apps’ – ‘Music Player’ is now ‘Music plyr.’ (These could be due to it using HK firmware?!) Continue reading “Nokia 5800 v21 Firmware Change Log”

According to a newspaper, Nokia is planning to change the resistive screen on the successful Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and use a capacitive screen instead.
Here is the press release:
Nokia plans to replace the resistive touch panel currently used in its 5800 handset with a capacitive touch panel in order to compete effectively with rival models from Apple, Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics, according to sources at Taiwan handset component suppliers.
Nokia’s initial orders for capacitive touch panels will be enough for the production of two million 5800 handsets, with shipments of the new version to begin in May-June, indicated the sources, who are familiar with Nokia’s roadmap.

Well the phone is expected to hit the market soon , but even before that its got a feather on its cap.

According to an earlier report, many sites published that Nokia had sold 13 million 5800 XpressMusic devices till date. But that news was incorrect and it was actually the Nokia 5310 that had sold 13 million units worldwide.
Anyway here’s the correct news.
Nokia has sold more than 3 million 5800 XpressMusic phones worldwide and that is a good number since Nokia had only a target of 1 million devices. The 5800 is selling more than the iPhone in every place except the USA. That’s a market where even the entire range of Nokia devices have failed to capture much attention.

A while ago we had heard rumours of a black version of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic coming soon. Though most of us were sure that this would come out due to Nokia’s previous launches like after the N95 came the N95 8GB and after the N79 came the black version, we didn’t know when it would come or how exactly it would look like.
Nokia is determined to catch up with the TouchScreen phone market in a big way. Rumours have it that a third phone is about to be announced, with price slightly lower than that of Nokia 5800.
The original claims have been made at Daily Mobile, about the 5530 XpressMusic phone. The phone is expected to launch in September.
