ULTRAVIAS - Notebook, Laptop and mobile device reviews

Nokia Wahoo is a totally different Nokia device. It’s no candybar and no slider but it’s a flip phone with a half QWERTY keyboard. The handset will get you quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, Dual-band UMTS/HSDPA, a 2.0 megapixel camera with flahs, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP and two displays. A 2.2 inch internal screen with a 240×320 resolution, a 1.36 inch external screen with a 128 x 160 resolution.

There’s no release date yet but people say the Wahoo is coming from AT&T. Need a price for this Nokia people!

The Nokia E63 has just been announced by Nokia. Deja-vu feeling coming yet? Yes sure it’s similar in design to the E71 but it’s something totally new.

If you don’t want a BlackBerry to play with but you’d like that BlackBerry feeling, then you absolutely need an E series smartphone. The E63 sports the same full QWERTY keyboard which provides that full support for your SMS and email needs. The E63 will be available soon and it will cost just 199 Euro before future subsidies and of course, taxes.

Soren Petersen, Senior Vice President of Nokia says:

Our research shows that people want a device that deals with both their personal and professional lives, but helps them to separate the two. When someone sits down at lunch, they want to update their social network or browse their personal email account and they don’t want work getting in the way of that. It’s another great case of technology adapting to the people that use it. The Nokia E63 is a new proposition for Eseries - a messaging device where people will be just as involved in their social network as they are in their business network.

Let’s look at the specs now. There’s WiFi support, fast access to Mail for Exchange, support for Files on Ovi and access to 1GB of online file storage for free. Nokia Music Store comes also with the E63 and there’s a 3.5 mm audio jack for your musical pleasure. The built-in camera will get you lots of photos and videos to share with your friends.

Want more? More specs and a release date? Well stick with us ’cause we do to, and we will surely find out more!

On Tuesday (October 21) Nokia announced a new cellphone codenamed 2228 that will become available in their CDMA markets. This new Nokia cellphone is on the entry-level category and can be considered basic, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t good.

It has practical consumers as the target, and due to the affordable price it becomes more enjoyable for everyone. The 2228 model features a 1.3-megapixel camera, a media player that can playback most common audio + video + image files, and a LED light to inform users about text messages, or incoming calls.

An interesting and unique feature on the Nokia 2228 is the speaker, that works with voice recognition. Additionally, access to the internet can be made thanks to the handsfree speaker that can also work as a modem.

The BH line of bluetooth headsets made by Nokia takes a big share of the market, and that is why the BH-803 launched in April has received an update today, in the form of a new product comes the BH-804.

As expected, aluminum is the material used on the case, which makes it lightweight and that is one of the main important features on bluetooth headsets. In order to know the status there is a LED with 3 colors, and the charging sessions can be done quickly by using the microUSB port.

In working mode the BH-804 has 4 hours of battery life, and on standby mode it can go up to 150 hours, or 6 days.

Remember the simplicity cellphone from Nokia that we mentioned in April? Of course you don’t, because it is one of the most basic mobile phones ever created. Anyhow, the good news for people that enjoy simplicity, is that Nokia 1606 is now available at Cricket stores, with a price tag of $130 without contract, or $80 if you pick the web discount.

So, what does the Nokia 1606 has to offer? A tiny 1.8-inch screen located inside with a resolution of 128×160 px, and another display on the outside providing a 96×32 resolution, and placed on the monochrome category.

As for the battery life, only 3 and a half hours on talk time, or 11 days in stadyby mode.

Look what the FCC dragged in. It’s Nokia’s N79. The phone is expected on non-US markets to hit by the end of the year and it’s rumored to cost around $520. The phone might arrive in AT&T stores in the same time but there’s no official announcement to point to that.

The N79 will have 850/1900 UMTS support, a 5 megapixel Zeiss camera with sliding lens cover, dual LED flash, VGA video recording, TV-out, S60 Feature Pack 2 and probably more. I’d be curios to see how much will AT&T charge for it, but I guess that’s the subject for another story!

Nokia, please drop whatever you were doing a pay some attention to this cell phone design. It’s not an Apple nano but it’s a Nokia Aeon designed by Mac Funamizu. Since it’s just a concept phone we don’t have any features available. And there’s no price either. All we know it would look and feel like a nano and it would have a nondescript tactile feedback technology with the surface adapting to various actions. That’s a phone right here I’d buy in a heartbeat. But I’ll have to wait for that…

Recently there seems to be a great rush for low-end cellphones on US carriers, so on top of the Samsung SGH-a637 announced today, there is the Nokia 1680 which is available T-Mobile. You can’t get more cheap than $15 after the rebate and T-Mobile contract, can you?

The 1680 Classic cellphone was first seen a few months ago, and at that time it was most affordable camera phone on the Nokia catalog.

Currently it boasts basic SMS, MMS and IM messaging functionalities, a VGA camera, and a speakerphone. One positive point goes for the battery life in stand-by mode, that can last 18 days. While talking the battery only has life for 4 hours.

While other companies have long put in their entries for the ongoing touchscreen competition, Nokia is still yet to formally release the much-awaited Nokia “Tube” or more officially, the Nokia XpressMedia 5800. But it looks like we may not have to wait long as Pocket-Lint has a secret, vaild source that whispers a launch date of October 2nd. According to the source, Nokia’s first full touchscreen cell phone is planned to be launched at a London event together with the arrival of Nokia Comes with Music service. October 2nd is not too bad, but you should know Nokia that we have moved on and fallen for the Touch HD instead!

This is hot news indeed. Ramalho Blog has unearthed an authentic-looking promo for two new Nokia devices, the E75 and E72. The E72 has a silde-out QWERTY keypad while maintaining some semblance to the already available E71 and the E75 has a QWERTY keypad below the display. Everything about the video looks real as far as we can say and both the E75 and E72 seem like great devices. From the video, we could say that apart from the QWERTY keypad, both the cell phones have WiFi, GPS, an accelerometer, and may be even HSDPA support, running as usual on Symbian OS. It might be a long time till Nokia announces these two handsets, but until then, we will be happy to bring you more information via leaks and slip-ups that seem to happen much too often nowadays.
