Awesome Nokia

The results of Nokia’s Music Almighty Headset Competition are in, and boy are they zany: you’ll see everything from Graveyard Shift (inspired by MJ’s Thriller) to Daft Punk cans.

Simple and elegant, Verizon/Nokia’s 7205 Intrigue cellphone features a hidden, external 1.9″ PMOLED display; only 0.55″ thick, it also comes with a funky fade finish on the keypad.

Nokia’s 5330 XpressMusic is a sliderphone with an “edgy, top-sliced design” that’s not half bad looking; it also includes side touch keys, a 3.5mm jack and 26 hours of playback.

Not wanting to be left behind in the camera race, Nokia’s N86 sports an 8MP camera, scratch-resistant 2.6″ OLED screen, 8GB storage and a dual sliding design with keypad.

Superficially a sliderless version of the E75, the candybar Nokia E55 features a half-QWERTY keyboard, 2.4″ QVGA screen, 3G, and 2GB MicroSD card; it measures only 9.9mm thick.

Based on the old 9300 Communicator, Nokia’s E75 is a slider phone with two sets of keys (one full QWERTY), a 2.4″ QVGA screen, 3.2 MP camera, 3G connectivity and 4GB storage.

Nokia’s 12mm-thin 5630 XpressMusic not only satisfies music lovers with dedicated audio keys and an FM radio, but it’s also a smartphone with S60 and HSDPA/HSUPA speeds.

Nokia’s Classic line-up includes the budget 2700, mid-range 6303 and premium 6700; these are no-frills candybars that eschew new software and touchscreens for style and functionality.

The N97 is Nokia’s new flagship phone: it features a 3.5″ 640×360 touchscreen with tactile feedback, QWERTY keyboard, HSDPA, Wi-Fi, A-GPS, 32GB of memory and 5 MP Carl Zeiss camera.

Despite being targeted towards budget buyers, Nokia’s 2608 is moderately stylish, with angular lines and a striped cover; it also includes an FM radio, voice recorder and flashlight.

We’re really digging these WeSC Bongo headphones, available in Sweden with Nokia 5220 and 5320 cellphones. You can also get the Bongos a la carte, albeit with different colorways.

Nokia’s 6260 Slide has finally been revealed; it’s targeted towards the mass market and the first S40 phone with GPS. Also included: a 5MP Carl Zeiss camera and 3G/HSDPA speeds.

Realizing that anything + Bruce Lee = cool, this limited edition Nokia N96 is engraved with the martial artist’s mug and signature; it also includes an action figure and mini-nunchucks.

AT&T/Nokia’s 6650 is good value for the money, especially for Symbian fans; running on S60, it features an brushed metal case, integrated GPS and stereo Bluetooth for only $70.

The E71’s little bro, Nokia’s E63 ditches aluminum for a reception-friendly plastic case; it’ll have quad-band GSM and dual-band UMTS, but no HSDPA limits its appeal to the US market.

Nokia’s N810 WiMAX edition is now available; the internet tablet requires that you live in Baltimore for the WiMAX to work, although some Chicago users are reporting success.

No financial meltdown here: Continental’s Nokia E71 is clad in 24 karat gold and is available in white and black varieties; the extra filthy rich can opt for the platinum finished version.

Nokia’s 5800 XpressMusic cellphone wants to be a media player, with an 8GB microSD card, 3.2″ 16:9 touchscreen, and a year’s unlimited access to Nokia’s music catalog.

Nokia’s E66 NAM is now available at Nokia flagship stores (and for preorder online). The cellphone is wrapped in stainless steel and gets quad band GSM + dual band WCDMA.

The 2.4″ QVGA screen is lackluster, but the Nokia N79’s swappable Xpress-On covers will appeal to style hounds; the 5 MP Carl Zeiss lens and FM transmitter are icing on the cake.

Nokia’s N85 is N96’s media-oriented sibling; while smaller, the 2.6″ screen is a bright AMOLED display. Also includes an FM radio, 8GB microSD card, 5 MP camera and 10 N-Gage games.

The Nokia N96 slider cellphone will arrive in the US 4Q 2008; it will be able to handle US 3G networks. Unfortunately, no carrier will pick it up, meaning you’ll have to foot the bill.

Nokia has released the Carbon Arte, an ultra-premium version of their popular 3G 8800 slider phone. The bulk of the cost: carbon fiber, polished glass, titanium and stainless steel.

Nokia’s 3610 clamshell phone is targeted towards budget users, but it manages to pack in bluetooth, a 1.3 MP camera and microSD support. The analog clock display is a nice touch, too.

Choosing between Nokia and Blackberry? BGR’s E71 vs. Bold comparo is worth a read. Conclusion: the E71 is the best phone ever to run S60, but the Bold remains king for business users.

As of today, Nokia’s 5610 XpressMusic is available at T-Mobile. Ideal for music lovers, this slider phone has built-in FM radio and stereo bluetooth; it also has quad-band but is EDGE only.
