Awesome Nokia

Nokia is banking on photography enthusiasts with the 9 PureView. It has five 12MP cameras at the back – two RGB, three monochrome – that can all take photos at once. This should result in images with incredible HDR and adjustable focus. Drops 03/2019 for $699.

Verizon’s upcoming flagship Windows phone, the Nokia Lumia Icon has a 5″ 1080p AMOLED screen, a 20mp rear camera with dual LED flash, a quad-core 2.2GHz CPU, 2GB RAM and 32GB storage. Drops 02/20 for $200 on contract.

Nokia enters the growing phablet market with the Lumia 1520, a Windows Phone with a 6″ 1080p display. It also has a 2.2Ghz quad-core Snapdragon 800 CPU, 2GB RAM, microSD slot, NFC, LTE and a 20mp rear camera.

The Lumia 2520 is a Windows 8.1 RT tablet. It has a 10.1″ 1080p display, a 2.2GHz quad-core CPU, 4G LTE, microSD, microHDMI and USB 3.0 ports, a 6.7mp camera and an 8,000mAh battery that charges to 80% in just one hour.

An enticing midrange phone, the Lumia 625 is a Windows Phone 8 device with a 4.7″ screen, 4G connectivity, 5mp camera and LED flash. It also comes with unlimited ad-free streaming on Nokia Music. Available Q3 2013 for about $290.

The Lumia 1020 has a 41-megapixel camera sensor and a Xenon flash. Its version of Windows Phone 8 comes with a special camera app that lets you adjust focus, shutter speed, white balance and more. Demo here.

Aardman’s Sumo Science shot this massive animation on an 11,000 sq. ft. set, using tons of sand and life-size props then shot every frame with a Nokia N8 (as a promo for the N8, of course.)

Inspired by the Finnish tradition of building snow and ice sculptures during their long winter, a team at Nokia has created the world’s first ice touchscreen using digital projection technology.

The Nokia Wallet X70 concept is a functioning billfold as well as a mobile phone with 8GB of storage that has 2 cameras, writes SMS messages, supports video chat and GPS and plays music.

Nokia built 14 prototypes of this phone, which externally resembles the communicator used in Star Trek, complete with the iconic grille and lights. We wonder if it has the Enterprise on speed dial.

Out later this year, the Nokia N8 runs on Symbian^3, has a 3.5″ touchscreen display, 12 megapixel camera, 720p video capability with HDMI output and includes free Ovi Maps.

Europe only: Nokia’s flagship music phone, the X6, offers unlimited free Nokia Music Store downloads; it boasts a 3.2″ display, 32 GB storage, HSPDA, Wi-Fi, and a 5 MP camera.

Available through Verizon 9/13, Nokia’s 7705 Twist is more for the ladies with a built-in mirror, but its compact design, swiveling QWERTY, and 3MP autofocus camera are intriguing.

A smaller and lighter version of the N97, Nokia’s N97 Mini sacrifices memory (it maxes out at 8 GB vs 32 GB), but otherwise keeps a 3.2″ tilt-touch screen with QWERTY and 5 MP camera.

Nokia’s N900 is a hardware/software two-fer: a 3.5″ touchscreen, slide-out QWERTY, 5 MP camera, 600 MHz ARM Cortex-A8, 1 GB app memory and the multitasking friendly Maemo 5 OS.

Nokia makes the leap to laptops with the Booklet 3G, a 10.1″ netbook; it’s powered by Atom with 3G/HSPA, A-GPS, Ovi Maps, swappable SIM card, HDMI out, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Nokia’s 5800 Navigation Edition is an Xpress Music with a lifetime navigation subscription; it also features a 3.2″ touchscreen, stereo speakers and 3.2 MP camera.

Designed to withstand splashes, bumps and drops, Nokia’s 3270 classic is their latest rugged cellphone; it also features a 2.2″ TFT display, LED flashlight, FM radio and Bluetooth.

Nokia’s slim E71 is barely out the door but the E72 is already official: this upgraded version gets a 5 MP camera, optical navigation pad, 3.5 mm headphone jack and 10.2 Mbps HSDPA.

A smaller, more affordable version of the 5800, Nokia’s 5530 XpressMusic is 3G-less but still features a 2.9″ touchscreen, 3.5 mm audio jack, and 3.2 MP camera with LED flash.

While its “second to none” claim is a bit much, Nokia’s BH-905 headphones are worth a gander with 10 mics that use Wolfson noise cancellation tech, Bluetooth and call/music controls.

Engadget has dug up a treasure trove of new phones for AT&T, most due to release 2H 2009; among them: the Palm Eos, the Nokia Mako, the HTC Lancaster and the Blackberry Onyx.

Nokia’s E52 retains the svelte candybar design of the E51, but doubles talk time to 8 hours (6 hours on 3G); it also features a 3.2MP camera, GPS, noise cancellation and new email UI.
