Re: NW2010 Keynote thread.
 

Well like said Nokia execs have even gone and said that N series will be for MeeGo so i doubt it. Nokia already did big revamp to it's naming scheme just recently.

Only unknown is S series.

There where rumours about it being the new 8xxx and at least just couple of days ago Eldar said that he was playing with S series phone and the series would indeed be about premium phones.

keynote day two is about to start, dont get hopes for announcements in the last few i can only remember one top device being announced on day 2.

Re: NW2010 Keynote thread.
 

I allways find the day 2 keynote more interesting. Mostly cause all the high end hype and stuff gets discussed and written to death anyway and there's allways interesting things that I wouldn't even know about cause I live in the 1st world.



S40 and services coolness from Mcdowell keynote:

-Nokia Money pilot success in India. Nokia will start expanding to other regions in India other countries. Nokia Lifetools has 5 million users in India, and now espanding to China and Indonesia.

-4/5 email accounts created on mobile devices are created on a S40 device! Nokia expanding QWERTY and touch S40 devices, in order to connect next billion people to internet.

-New proxy-based Ovi Browser for S40 devices. Faster and less data use than regular browsers. Important for 3rd world network use.

-New S40 Java SDK to enchance app development for S40. Few big number examples from S40 app successes in South-Asia.

-Nokia and Inuit launching new service for small busineses in developing world. I think this is why the S40 Ovi browser was created, I.e using the proxy connection to provide location based ads and services to browser users.

Re: NW2010 Keynote thread.
 

I suspected nokia had what it takes to make lifetools etc functional and successive when I first read about it. I claim that the most interesting development of mobile telephones and services breed from developing countries where there are no old, respectful and restrictive banks etc braking development of different things you can do with your phone.
e: I mean certain parts of infrastructure that dictate western way of living but has zero effect in developing countries.

I did like that they mentioned the n900 in that article. hop the nokia guys read it ;)

Re: NW2010 Keynote thread.
 

btw have you checked the HTC announcements? hw wise: totally weak.....

Re: NW2010 Keynote thread.
 

HTC's offerings are pretty damn nice. 4.3 inch screen on the Desire HD, basically the HTC EVO 4G with GSM radios... and the Desire Z with a pretty nice keyboard. Dual LED flash on the Desire HD, single LED flash on the Desire Z.

What I didn't know until this morning... the Nokia E7 has only a 640 x 360 4 inch screen. Now that's just plain a notch or two behind damn near everybody else. Lame.

Re: NW2010 Keynote thread.
 

As Nokia World 2010 is coming to a close, how about we all round up our thoughts and feelings about the event?

We're going to be bombarded (hopefully) by bloggers' video material and hands-on reviews quite soon, but what about we share some thoughts raised by what we know so far?

I personally feel that Nokia really has turned a new leaf. Well, the most important is still missing (MeeGo), but In terms of Symbian. I've really started to believe, that perhaps S^3 is a viable smartphone platform, although only getting my own hands on with the OS can I decide this for sure. I think we all can agree that the physical form factors coming out of NW2010 really look promising and the way they should.

What do you guys think?

Re: NW2010 Keynote thread.
 

Those were my thoughts exactly, but have another look at the "N9" photos!

Thanks to the Maemo Fanatics for that pic.

Re: NW2010 Keynote thread.
 

I am very satisfied about what they showed in this Nokia World. Symbian is a very important OS. It sells more than IOS and Android together. But yes... it was getting too old. Symbian 3 is new enough but it still allows old users to easily start interacting with it. And those three new models are so beautiful and with so interesting specs.

About day two, I love Nokia's efforts and business ideas about developing world. Of course, it's mainly business. But I truely believe that mobile phones can give Internet access and email and opportunites to those places where people can't afford a PC.

Of course, I am a N900 lover and I feel some envy about all the applications available for Symbian on OVI store. I hope QT will help to bring more applications to Maemo/MeeGo.

And of course, I miss big news about N9. I don't like so much the idea to wait untill mid November. But I think that Nokia must take all the necessary time to create an amazing product. N9 will be the mobile computer that will have to conquer American hearts too. People will have to think that upgrading to N9 will be amazingly cool. It's not so easy to create such a product in such a competitive high-end market. Some months delay can be necessary.

Re: NW2010 Keynote thread.
 

dual led flash with HTC.... There can only be 3 letters that describe it best compared to N8 : lol

and 640 resolution is double compared to e73 etc... If it isn't enough, don't buy new nokians. Increased resolution = more cpu cycles = shorter battery life. Symbian probably stays below 800x480 at least a while and meego devices will have the biggest resolutions available.

Re: NW2010 Keynote thread.
 

I prefer hardware keyboard, so I would comment HTC Desire Z. For me it has 2 main disadvantages, the first one is only 1,5 GB internal memory and the second is no support for 3G 900. Another thing, 1 year younger phone, compared to N900, and we have only 800 MHz CPU. So, probably this model won't see upgrade to Android 3.0. :rolleyes:

Re: NW2010 Keynote thread.
 

The key differences between E7

• Menu key launcher on screen
• N9 logo next to keyboard
• No Hardware button unlike the one found on E7
