Rogers Wireless, which mobile phone connoisseurs recognize it the moment they hear the name as the most important mobile carrier in Canada,have just announced the availability of the Nokia 7510, an UMA phone. This is actually the second handset from the Finnish company to become available via Rogers (the first one was Nokia 5800 XpressMusic).

The device is also known under the name of Nokia 7510 SuperNova in the European countries where it’s currently available and in the United States where is being sold right now by T-Mobile.



The Unlicensed Mobile Access (aka UMA) enabled device is able to give “Canadians seamless access between a cellular and wireless home internet connection”. In addition, the phone is compatible with the Rogers TalkSpot. What you should know about the Nokia 7510 is that whenever the user finds himself outside the home calling zone the phone automatically changes the wireless internet connection with the GSM network.



There are two Xpress-on changeable covers that are included in the box, one in fatal red, the other in storm blue, helping the user personalize the phone the way they like it most. Other features of the UMA phone include: a 2 megapixel caera with flash and video recording capabilities, an OSS browser for an improved browsing experience, 512MB of external memory that are included in the box, but the user has the chance to expand the memory with no more than 8GB with a microSD card,FM radio with RDS, Bluetooth and music player. The phone provides up to 6 hours of talk time or 12 days of stand-by time.

The Nokia 7510 is expected to become available via Rogers Wireless for a price of $49.99 if the customer is willing to sign a contract agreement for three years.

It’s been a while since the last time we reported on a rugged cell phone. But Sprint has just made an announcement concerning the availability of a brand new device coming from Motorola, which is expected to start selling sometime in the near future.

The so-called Clutch, or the Motorola Clutch i465 (this is the full name of the phone), is an iDEN phone, a rugged one, to be more precise, that is currently available for the customers via Boost Mobile.

As for the Sprint release, it seems that cell phone users that are interested in rugged devices will be able to have their own Clutch starting the summer of 2009. The price is of no more than $39.99, if the customer is willing to sign a contract agreement for two years, after a $20 instant rebate and another one of $50 mail-in rebate.

The Motorola Clutch is said to be the first cell phone to be sold as a Nextel Direct Connect phone that is equipped with a full QWERTY keyboard. In addition, it comes with a compatibility with the Military Specification 810F, a set of rules that are related to dust, high and low temperatures, low pressure, shocks of all sorts, solar radiation and vibration.



The list of features consists of the following elements: a display with a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels, a VGA photo camera, GPS and Bluetooth, push to talk, Group Messaging (the user is able to create groups of no more than 20 different contact and to send messages to these groups in the same time).

Those who want more information about the rugged cell phone can always register at the official website of Sprint where they’ll be able to find out details about the availability of the phone.

I love foreign languages and I have always thought that I’m able to learn whatever language I might want, because there’s something inside me that makes things a whole lot easier. Besides that, I’m a very quick learner when it comes to this area, so it won’t be difficult for me to start the study of a new language. However, with Chinese, for example, I’d like to think the matter twice.

The Chinese alphabet is too damn complicated and I don’t know if I have enough patience in order to descipher it. But Nokia didn’t think of me when decided to launch the Chinese version of the Ovi Store, but of the 1 billion Chinese people out there that would be happy to hear this news.

The application store is available for the moment in five languages, including English, German, Italian, Russian and Spanish, so the Chinese language will be the sixth on the list. The Finnish company said that the new version is expected to become available during this year, so the Chinese customers will be able to download whatever applications they might like directly on their cell phones.

This is a very good idea, as the Chinese Nokia cell phone users has reached the impressive number of 180 million. This means that chances are pretty high for the Chinese Ovi Store to create sensation.

As I said it many times before, each time I had the occasion, the Philips phones are very well known all over the globe for a very important aspect: their long lasting batteries. I’m talking about the Xenium family, of course. And the last Xenium device that I told you about is the X320.

Now, there’s another one in the spotlight, the Philips Xenium X630, a quite good-looking canybar that is expected to become available sometime during this near, in the next couple of months. Chances are high for this phone to start selling in the Chinese market at first.



Being a low-end phone, at the most a mid-end one, the X630’s main disadvantage is the lack of the 3G connectivity, which is a must these days when it comes to the most popular cell phones to be bought by customers.



The list of features includes a 2.4 inches QVGA display with 262k colors, a 3.2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth with A2DP, music player and FM radio, and a microSDHC card slot for expandable memory of no more than 8GB.

The most important feature consists of the 1530 mAh battery which is able to provide up to 12 hours of talk time and no more than 50 days of stand-by time. The new Philips phone measures 111.8 x 48.9 x 15.1 millimeters and weighs 118 grams.

Unfortunately, this is right about everything we know about the X630 for the moment. The details about the release date and the price are not available.

Here is the meaning Nokia gives to the word “globalization”, if you didn’t know by now: taking each and every product or service that it might have in mind and then making it available all over the world, in as many countries as possible.

One of these products and services is Nokia Music Store, which allows users from countries such Australia, Brazil, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom and plenty more to come, to purchase the music they like most directly on their cell phones or via PC.



Poland is the next country to benefit the Nokia Music Store, being the first one in the Central-Eastern Europe to be privileged with the service.



So, Polish customers can go to Music.nokia.pl where they can choose from a wide variety of tracks (there are more than 4.5 million songs) performed by both Polish and international artists. It doesn’t matter if you like a certain type of music, you’ll be able to find whatever you like most.

The music available at the Nokia Music Store is provided by the most important labels from all over the world, independent ones also, and there are some special exclusive offers you can enjoy these days. First of all, you can buy the latest album with Moby’s signature on it or you can download the music single called “When love takes over” by David Guetta. And you can do these things before the music I mentioned earlier becomes widely available.

As for the ways of payment, you can buy the music you like either with credit cards or pre-paid vouchers. If you’re interested in only one track, it will cost you PLN 3.49, while the entire album goes to PLN 34.9.
