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.

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.

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.

The Canadian provider to offer the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is Rogers, one of the most important providers from the country, as a matter of fact. Rumors say Rogers has finally made up its mind concerning the Nokia device, even if chances are high for you to not find the phone on the official website of the provider.

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic has become available in countries across Europe starting last year, as you probably know by now. For Canada, it will be the first smartphone to be compatible with the 5th Edition of the Symbian S60.

If you need to have your memory refreshed as far as the features are concerned, let’s see what the phone is able to do. The 5800 XpressMusic comes with quad band GSM and dual band HSDPA connectivity, a 3.2 inches touch sensitive display with a resolution of 360 x 640 pixels, a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus and Carl Zeiss optics, Bluetooth connectivity, stereo speakers, GPS, Wi-Fi, 3.5mm headset jack and microSD card slot for expandable memory. As a matter of fact, the phone comes with an 8GB card included.

It seems that Rogers sells the phone under the price of $199 if the customer is willing to sign a contract agreement for three years. So, hurry up, guys!

It’s no surprise for anyone that Nokia has always been very careful as far as the emerging markets are concerned, as the Finnish company has come up with a significant number of devices in the past couple of years that were targeted at these markets and at them only.

In their attempt to bring the email services to everyone, Nokia comes right now with a piece of very good news: Ovi Mail has just been updated. The campaign has a very noble purpose, to bring email in the emerging markets, to the masses. So, it’s somehow an “email for the masses” campaign.

First of all, you will find support for 3 new languages that weren’t included in Ovi Mail before: Italian, Latin American Spanish and Vietnamese. This way, the number of languages supported by the service is 14, but Nokia ensures everyone that there are plenty more to be released in the future.

There are other features that you might like: the compose space for emails is larger, there is an auto-check functionality when writing new messages, the CC and BCC fields automatically expand whenever you enter multiple recipients.

As I mentioned earlier, Ovi Mail is now aimed at those people who will find it difficult to access a computer, so they will be able to set the service up on their Nokia devices and use it directly from there. And what’s most important is that people will have many handsets to choose from, because there are more than 40 Nokia cell phones (part of the Series 40) that come equipped with support for Ovi Mail in approximately 170 countries from all over the world.
