Nseries: 15 Questions Related
Nseries always attract people to learn more and more about this handset series from Nokia. And some people put their questions on their blog. One of them is Devin Balentina on thenokiaguide.com. So, does anyone have the answers for these questions?
1. If the Eseries stands for Enterprise, than what does the “Nseries” stand for?
2. Why doesn’t the Nseries include USB charging?
3. Why wasn’t Nokia able to make a stylish and feature packed phone (N76 doesn’t count)?
4. Why does the N95 8GB with no upgradeable memory, exposed camera and lower Image Quality (when compared the N95) is considered an upgrade?
More Nokia Tube Spy Pics
We know that Nokia readies 5800 XpressMedia / Nokia Tube as iPhone killer. The phone is going to be Nokia’s first S60 handset with touch user-interface. As you can see in the pictures it features a 3.2 Megapixel camera with dual-LED flash. This version is a vodafone-branded device.
Nokia Buy Symbian!
This is HUGE! Nokia, number one phone maker has been using Symbian for many, many of their phones. They make Symbian as the world’s most populous smartphone platform. Recently, they have about 47, 9 percent of Symbian share. But that’s not enough, so Nokia announcing that they’ll be acquiring the remaining shares of Symbian that they don’t already own to fully control the Symbian operating system.
Other Symbian Foundation members include Texas Instruments, Vodafone, Samsung, LG, and AT&T (yep, the same AT&T that currently sells precisely one Symbian-based phone), so things could get interesting. The move clearly seems to be a preemptive strike against Google’s Open Handset Alliance, LiMo, and other collaborative efforts forming around the globe with the goal of standardizing smartphone operating systems; the writing was on the wall, and Symbian didn’t want to miss the train. Total cash outlay for the move will run Nokia roughly €264 million — about $410 million in yankee currency.

New Nokia Patent
This new Nokia patent must be one of the weirdest cellphone patents recently. How this crazy phone exactly works? As you can see in the picture above, this concept employs something called a Jacobs Ladder flipping hinge arrangement. The interesting thing is that piece of movable material (called the ribbon in the patent) that you see in between the screen and the keypad. According to the patent, the phone will have two User Interfaces, depending on the position of the ribbon. In the first position, the device acts like a phone while in the secod position, it reveals a camera module (placed on the back) and the UI changes to one suited for operating a camera.

How Nokia Comes up with a Design
After attending the first open-house of Nokia Design Center in Soho, London, 3g Week’s journalists have something to share with. According to them, Nokia’s designs always come from complicated processes: “We usually think of design as a process in which the properties of a physical object, such as the shape and size, are determined … [but] it is not that simple. Younghee Joung, Nokia’s Senior Design Manager, explained that cellphone design involves much more than just choosing and cutting the different components and then knitting them together.” (3 g Week)
