Nokia seizes social internet and amplifies music experience
September 02, 2009

Stuttgart, Germany - Today, at Nokia World, the annual destination for people with passion for mobility, Nokia unveiled a combo that can change how people connect with each other and offer new and exciting ways to give everyone, everywhere, the power to make the most of every moment. With today's news, together with Nokia's recent announcements - Nokia Money, the Nokia N900, Nokia Booklet 3G, Nokia 5230 and Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition - Nokia expands in new directions for changing the ways people go about their lives.

Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, CEO, Nokia, commented: "Nokia aims at reaching the many, not the few, with our rich portfolio of services. We are doing this through an increasing number of open partnerships with world leaders in many fields. We are proud to lead the charge in smartphones and beyond as manifested in the Nokia N900 and Nokia Booklet 3G, two great examples of how the world is changing and Nokia is driving this change."

Opening up the next innovative chapter of personal and location-aware internet, Nokia announced lifecasting with Ovi, a partnership with the world's largest social network, Facebook. Lifecasting with Ovi is the first application to let people publish their location and status updates directly to their Facebook account from the home screen of a mobile device. Lifecasting goes beyond just publishing your status - it is about building deeper and closer connections between people. It triggers new kinds of communication patterns, such as sending messages or status updates or even navigating to a friend or a place.

Lifecasting will premiere on the new Nokia N97 mini, companion to the successful Nokia N97. Designed with a social and style-conscious consumer in mind, the Nokia N97 mini is a smaller mobile computer with stylish stainless steel cues, featuring a tilting 3.2" touch display, QWERTY keyboard and fully customizable homescreen that makes each Nokia N97 mini as unique as a fingerprint. The Nokia N97 mini delivers a truly personal internet experience in a compact handset based on the iconic design of the Nokia N97.

Jonas Geust, Vice President of Nokia Nseries, commented: "People want to bring their physical and online worlds together via the internet. The Nokia N97 mini is designed for this new social internet and to help navigate people and places. With lifecasting, the Nokia N97 mini and Ovi usher in the next chapter of personal and location-aware internet."

Lifecasting with Ovi will be available for both the Nokia N97 and Nokia N97 mini via Nokia Beta Labs. The Nokia N97 mini features new software which will be released in October as a free update for the Nokia N97. The new software brings compelling new experiences to both devices, including new homescreen widgets and additional usability improvements including flick scrolling.

The Nokia N97 mini is powered by a new Ovi Maps experience which makes searching, finding and navigating even easier. In addition to global pedestrian navigation, people can access premium content from Lonely Planet, Michelin and Wcities, turning the Nokia N97 mini into the world's smallest travel companion.

Users can personalise the homescreen of their device even further with thousands of different applications and services available from the Ovi Store. From games, videos and podcasts to productivity tools and web services, Ovi Store is the easiest way to fill the Nokia N97 mini's homescreen with applications that reflect individual tastes. The Nokia N97 mini is expected to begin shipping in October 2009 for an estimated retail price of EUR 450 before taxes and subsidies.

The Comes With Music story continues with the Nokia X6
Pioneering new ways for the world to experience music, Nokia today announced the launch of the new Nokia X6. Capable of playing up to 35 hours of music, the Nokia X6 is a powerful entertainment device, combining 32GB of on-board memory with a slick 3.2" finger touch interface.

The ultimate device for music lovers and social butterflies, the Nokia X6 has a 16:9 widescreen optimised for photos, videos and browsing. With direct access to Ovi Store, the Nokia X6 is a hive of activity that brings 20 friends and virtual communities, like Facebook, to your homescreen.

Jo Harlow, Vice President, Nokia, commented: "The Nokia X6 and Comes With Music is a powerful combination, enabling music fans to download all the music they could ever want - quickly, easily and for free. We're giving people convenient access to and ownership of a vast music library and an exciting new touchscreen device to play their music on."

The new Nokia X3 also joins Nokia's music portfolio. The Nokia X3 is designed for music lovers and is the first Series 40 Ovi Store-enabled device. The Nokia X3 is a sleek and compact music device that comes with stereo speakers, built-in FM radio, and a 3.2 megapixel camera.

To make the most of the entertainment experience, Nokia introduced the Nokia Mini Speaker MD-9, a pocket-size speaker for big sound, and the Nokia Bluetooth Stereo Headset BH-505, an ergonomic and lightweight neckband headset for great music and call audio quality also in noisy environments.

The Nokia X6 has an estimated retail price of EUR 450, with the Nokia X3 retailing for an estimated EUR 115. Prices are before taxes and subsidies, and both devices will ship during the fourth quarter of 2009.

N97 mini disasarkan utk menjadi versi "ringan" dari N97 dan bukan utk pengganti N97 jadi secara hardware tidak ada peningkatan secara signifikan..

X6 juga dikatakan sbg succesor dari 5800 XM. Kalo X6 menggunakan procie 600Mhz, RAM 256Mb atau lebih dan menggunakan PowerVR SGX graphics (dimana inilah penyebab sbrnya kenapa game Prince Of Persia HD dimainkan mulus. Bkn karena RAM) plus kamera 8 MPX maka akan terjadi gap besar antara X6 dan 5800 XM yg dapat berakibat mereka yg pengen 5800 XM dan blm sempat membeli akan batal beli 5800 XM dan jelas akan mematikan pasaran N97/N97 mini. Belum lagi Nokia sedang melakukan eksperimen utk kamera 12 MPX.

Nih beritanya soal Nokia 12 MPX (Not Official yet...)

We all know Nokia has been catching up with the other manufacturers in things like touch sensitive screens and devices coming with double-digit camera sensors. But the images of a 12-megapixel Nokia handset that recently appeared on Flickr are truly baffling, if not odd. The Carl Zeiss optics and protective cover are nowhere to be seen, plus flash is looks way too small, which is rather suspicious, because all high-end camera phones of the manufacturer sport double LED flash. On the ther hand, the back of the device looks stylish and made of metal, similarly to the E55 and E52. Can this be just another fakery crafted by a skillful prankster or what we see is an early prototype? We bet our bottom dollar it´s the former, but the source claims images were acquired from the Flickr account of Nokia Maemo team member. Or it´s just that someone appreciates a good laugh and doesn´t mind sending us on a wild goose chase... Now, where´s your 12-megaixel cell phone, Nokia?

Oh, bukan gara2 RAM ya, berarti harus nunggu successor N97 nih
CAsing hpnya mirip sama E71 ya(IMO)

N97 Mini Hadir Akhir 2009
Ardhi Suryadhi - detikinet

Jakarta - Satu dari tiga jagoan baru Nokia, yakni N97 Mini tak akan langsung masuk Indonesia setelah diperkenalkan untuk pertama kali di ajang Nokia World di Stuttgart, Jerman beberapa waktu lalu.

Regina Hutama Poli, Corporate Communications Manager Nokia Indonesia memastikan bahwa ponsel mungil ini paling cepat baru akan hadir di Tanah Air pada kuartal 4 atau akhir tahun 2009. "Tapi paling telat di awal tahun 2010," ujarnya kepada detikINET, Selasa (8/9/2009).

N97 Mini merupakan suksesor dari 'sang kakak, N97. Meski berukuran lebih kecil, produk ini tetap powerful. Diperkuat dengan sistem operasi Symbian S60 5th Edition, ponsel ini dilengkapi Wi Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, 3G, FM transmitter dan kamera 5 megapiksel.

Dari sisi eksterior, N97 Mini dipercantik dengan layar sentuh berukuran 3,2 inch serta keyboard QWERTY sliding. Handset ini juga menjadi ponsel Nokia pertama yang terintegrasi lebih erat dengan Facebook.

Nokia telah sepakat dengan Facebook agar pengguna bisa update lokasi dan status secara langsung melalui account Nokia Ovi.

Meski berukuran mini, tapi bukan berarti harga yang dipatok Nokia atas ponsel ini ikut-ikutan minim. Pengguna butuh 450 euro atau sekitar US$ 645 dolar untuk bisa membawa pulang N97 Mini. Hanya sedikit lebih murah rasanya dengan N97 yang di Indonesia dipatok di kisaran Rp 8 jutaan.(ash/faw)

^ wkwkwkwk...berita diatas kalo disandingkan dengan berita yg baru gw dapet ini kayaknya memang pas banget deh....

Nokia X6 16GB version to come February 2010, without Comes With Music

It turns out the hot Nokia X6 will not be offered as a Comes With Music device only. That is, of course, if the information provided by eXpansys is correct. The retailer lists the announced 32GB version of the music-centric phone with a November 12 release date and a price of about $870. This version of the phone will be available only with Comes With Music, as it was officially said. However, here comes the interesting part. eXpansys also has a 16GB version of the X6 listed, which is said to become available, starting February 23, 2010. With the lot more affordable price tag of about $565, the X6 16GB will be offered without Comes With Music.

Of course, it would be great if this all comes true, since Nokia’s Comes With Music service isn’t particularly popular, at least in Europe, and the cheaper price will always be welcomed.

Dan satu lagi proyek Nokia yg gw harap sih segera diwujudkan guna adanya angin segar dalam dunia per-hp-an...

3D cell phone display revealed at Nokia World

The Finnish giant disclosed a well kept secret at Nokia World 2009 and showcased a prototype of the N810 Internet Tablet equipped with a 3D capable cell phone display. It´s a good thing that you will not need special equipment like odd-looking and uncomfy goggles to relish truly three dimensional images, because it seems the screen has been designed to deliver 3D to the naked eye. A member of the management team of Nokia Research also revealed to Pocket-lint that the company had been working on the 3D cabable screen for years, but stated he didn´t know when Nokia would embark on the cutting-edge technology.

So, what do you think? What about seeing a movie like Final Destination 4 in all its 3D glory on the screen of your handset while on the run and moreover, without the need to resort to special glasses? How cool is that?

YG kedua keren banget tuh
Nokia suka bikin hp 'mini' ya sekarang
