The touch screen technology is no longer a thing of the future. Nokia Company has joined the touch screen market with the new Nokia 5800 Xpress Music, a phone which looks like an iPhone and it’s having the same success. Because it is a music phone, the touch screen technology is a feature which fits very well on this kind of mobile phone.

The touch screen mobile phones have a common design these days. The Nokia 5800 Xpress Music comes with a cage with clean lines, rounded corners and a black color scheme. The 109 grams and 4.37” x 2.04” x 0.61” dimensions  make this phone a bit thicker than the other touch screen mobile phones but it feels very comfortable in your hands.

The touch screen technology used here is very resistant under pressure and responds very well. The 3.2 inch display has a native resolution of 640 x 360 pixels and supports 16 million colors and this allows you to watch HD movies. Also, the touch screen supports handwriting recognition, feature which is missing on many other touch screen mobile phones.

For such performance Nokia 5800 Xpress Music has a single standard ARM 11 processor running at 369 MHz but you will not notice lag in any applications. The Symbian S60 operating system makes this phone look like a PC pocket. The internal memory is rather small when we think about the fact that it is a music phone. The 81 MB of internal memory can be extended to a maximum of 16 GB with a SD card which you can buy from any mobile shop.



Because this model is a music phone, it supports all audio formats. The features such as shuffle, stereo widening, equalizer and loudness boost allow this phone to play music with more bass at a great quality, thing which all the music listeners prefer. This phone has some one of the best stereo speakers that we have ever heard but if you are not satisfied by these you can take advantage of the 3.5mm audio jack and attach another set of speakers. Like the other mobile phones, this model has a FM Radio.

The Nokia 5800 Xpress Music supports 3G HSDPA internet browsing and the WiFi feature allows you to stay in touch with your friends via internet all the time. Thanks to the operating system, this mobile has a Webkit-based web browser which is powerful and greatly optimized. If you want to take some pictures or record clips, the 3.2 Megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, dual LED flash, autofocus and 3x digital zoom helps you get the best results. You can take photos at a maximum 2048 x 1536 pixels resolution which is satisfactory for a 3.2 Megapixels camera. The video recording feature allows you to record clips at 640 x 480 pixel resolution with 30 fps. The secondary camera gives you the opportunity to make video calls, another feature which is common these days.



The Nokia 5800 Xpress Music is a quad-band GSM phone which comes with more connectivity options. The Wifi 802.11 b/g, HSDPA 900/2100 compatibility, High-Speed Circuit-Switched Data and the GPRS class offers you a lot of connectivity to keep in touch with your friends in any situation. The A-GPS function and the Bluetooth offer you a faster localization. In conclusion, the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music is a smartphone and a music phone which does his job very well. And if you are concerned about the price, it costs $292 - a price tag which makes it a real competitor for the Nokia N Series or iPhone.

If you are not a technology fan and don’t want to pay a lot of money on a mobile phone, you can choose the Nokia 1600, a basic phone which was introduced on the market in 2005. At a price of $29 you get enough technology to stay in touch with your friends at any time. This mobile has a slim plastic case with a combination of gray and silver.

Because the Nokia 1600 is a basic phone, it doesn’t have a lot of new features. The most important features which are missing on this phone are the camera (so you cannot take pictures or record clips), Bluetooth connection (so you cannot connect with other computers or phones), USB connection (so you cannot transfer any data on your PC) and the WAP (you cannot access the internet with this phone). With this phone the Nokia officials wanted to offer the world a basic phone that can call or send SMS without having a lot of technology. This mobile phone has a weight of 85g and 104 x 45 x 17 mm dimensions and it feels pretty comfortable in your hands.

The Nokia 1600 has 4 MB of free memory for some basic pictures, because the 96 x 68 pixels display supports only 65k colors. This phone also has some basic polyphonic ring-tones and only 3 Java games. Even if you want more Java games it is not possible because there is no downloadable Java applications for this mobile. But with such a small display you will not be satisfied by the quality of images.

The phonebook can store only 200 contacts which is quite a low number for a phone in our days. A positive aspect of this phone is its security. You can set up a pin code on your mobile or on your SIM card; you can put a pin code for unlocking the keypad or for entering menu. Practically you can put a pin code to block any action you want. This is a good thing if you are a business man and don’t want people messing around with your phone.



The basic calculator, converter, stop watch, count down, alarm clock, reminder and the calendar aren’t missing here. These features are useful and very easy to use. The speaking clock is an attractive feature which tells you what time it is. Press and hold the “*” button you will hear a female voice which tells you what’s the time.

The Nokia 1600 is a Dual-band GSM (GSM E850 / 1900 and E900 / 1800) phone. The Li-On battery will keep your phone up for more than 4 hours of conversation or 450 hours in standby mode. This is an impressive aspect because you can use it for a long time without the need to recharge it.



The phone comes with a battery, a charger and a manual. The headphones are not included but if you want a pair of these you can buy them for just $5. Because Nokia 1600 is a basical phone, it doesn’t have a lot of features which can make you proud. But if you want a simple and cheap mobile phone, that’s what you need.

With a smooth shell of steel, the Nokia 6301 offers consumers extra mobility. Using the GSM network, wireless technology and Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) users can access mobile broadband at greater speeds. Voice services will be also improved by the UMA, so superior sound quality will be even where coverage is not so good. Nokia 6301 is the improved version of the classic 6300. This is an elegant model of the category of thin stainless steel mobile and is very easy to use. The advantage of the model type 6301 is connectivity through WLAN / UMA, which lets you make calls and free wireless network connection at home or at work, or in a WiFi "hotspot".
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
The phone also has built in a 2 megapixel camera, MP3 player, an internal memory that can be increased to 4 Gbytes and Bluetooth. Improved battery is better than of the 6300 model, but is not quite what we want. The phone was initially available in silver color. The Nokia 6300 was the preferred model of the year 2007 and in the early 2008 the 6301 has appeared. The 6301 is almost identical to 6300, except the additional WiFi connectivity with UMA support. What is UMA? It is a way for you to make free calls to a connection type Wifi / WLAN. In short, you can make calls in a broadband Internet network instead of a regular GSM mobile networks. Besides being free, there are the advantages of a strong reception and a data transfer with a much higher speed. You can use home, office or other "hotspots" such as a WiFi.

Apart from UMA, 6301 is almost identical to the 6300. Thickness of the phone was increased by almost one millimeter to allow a more powerful battery, and this is always a welcome improvement. Another difference is an internal memory: 30 Mbytes instead of 7.8 Mbytes, microSD slot that can support memory cards up to 4 Gbytes. In other words, the model 6301 is a great phone with improvements that are more than welcome.

Nokia n900, the new business / multimedia phone of the Finnish producer comes with a lot of issues worthy of appreciation and a brand new operating system, Maemo. Expectations are high from the Nokia N900. So were for the other ends of the range of the N in their day, the latest Nokia N96 and Nokia N97, but hopefully this time they will not be disappointing. Because I do not think Nokia allows too many failures. But the new toys, this phone's Booklet 3G and the netbooks seem promising.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
But for starters let's take a quick look at the specifications:
Dimensions: 110.9 × 59.8 × 18 mm, 113 g
Operating System: Linux Maemo
Hardware: ARM Cortex-A8 processor 600 MHz, 256 MB RAM and 768 MB virtual memory (1 GB of total memory available for applications)
32 MB of storage + microSD card support up to 16 GB
Screen 3.5 inch touch panel, resistive, with resolution of 800 x 480 pixels
System slider QWERTY keyboard
Leading connectivity: Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth, GPS
5 MPX camera
1320 mAh battery.

And I could go pretty much with the list of specifications for this phone that just seems to have it all. In addition, the picture seems to show damn good, with a matte black finish and stylish. It is not a tiny phone but anyway N900 is not a phone to be kept in the pocket. Perhaps more interesting than waiting for the phone is in this case waiting for the operating system Maemo based on Linux. It is expected to be reliable and fast, come with a simple interface but good looking, plus its own variant of media players and Web browser (based on the browser behind Mozilla Firefox). In addition, unlike older Symbian will support widgets and custom add-on’s.

So all seem to be aligned in the right direction for Nokia N900: Specifications, appearance, the software and even the price, because Nokia has announced that their new toy will not exceed the threshold of 500 euro. A decent price for such a device as it stands in the same range with 3GS iPhone or HTC's Touch HD.

Overall, the impression made by n 900 is positive, the market needs something new, different, and Nokia brings new things. Unfortunately Maemo platform is still in its infancy, and this is shown by the lack of dedicated software for N900. You have from the beginning the social gadgets for weather, RSS and about all that is important, but if you want to customize N900 in the smallest details you will hit poor settings and the lack of applications, but maybe the problem will be solved by Nokia in the months to come.

The biggest problem that nokia n900 has it is that despite the phone functions we deal in fact with a smaller MID, a micro-laptop, but not any phone, given the interface (which is now only in landscape mode) and the general size that is "generous". But I must admit that Nokia has done a great job in the construction of N900, which is a gadget with an impeccable and clean design without additional lines and visual shell buttons to burden it.
