Nokia Upgrades Older Symbian Phones
-
New life for nokia N8, the smart phone from Nokia on Smbian platform when the company announced an apparent push to keep customers from defecting to other platforms until its Windows Phones ship, Nokia is planning to upgrade some of its older Symbian-based smartphones.
The upgrade includes a new browser, which provides faster Web surfing, support for International Domain Names (IDNs) and non-ASCII letters such as Arabic or Chinese, Nokia said in a blog post on Wednesday.
Users will also be treated to improved versions of Ovi Maps. Owners of such phones as the E72, E52 and C5-00 will get indoor positioning using Wi-Fi as well as travel and recommendation services from, for example, Lonely Planet.
Those who have hung on to their N97 mini, 5800 XpressMusic, C6-00 or 5230 will get public transport lines and check-in services to social networking sites.
The upgrades are called Ovi Maps 3 SR4 and Ovi Maps 3 SR6, respectively.
The launch of the update will start Wednesday for the C6-00 and 5230, and the rest of the models will follow in the next few weeks. Users should make sure they have the software update autocheck feature switched on, Nokia said.
At an event last week, Nokia restated its commitment to the Symbian OS. It will start shipping the newer N8, E7, C7 and C6-01 with Symbian Anna software update in July, and by the end of August existing owners of those devices will also be able to upgrade.
Over the next 12 months Nokia plans to launch up to 10 new Symbian-based smartphones as well.
This is a critical time for Nokia, according to Roberta Cozza, a principal analyst at Gartner. The company is trying to keep engaged with owners of Symbian-based smartphones to prevent them from defecting to competing mobile systems, she said. Once they leave Nokia it will be difficult to make them pick up upcoming Windows Phone-based products, she added.
Nokia may release its first Windows Phone this year, but it won't ship large volumes until 2012. So preventing users from buying an iPhone or an Android smartphone will continue to be a challenge well into next year, according to Cozza.

Nokia N8 Crash
Nokia N8, the Finnish company's second coming for many, shows some great durability in the ever entertaining drop test. The test simulates your phone's landing when dropped a dozen times from about the height of a shirt pocket. It seems perfectly functional after all the torture so you should not be worried, the anodized aluminum body is rock solid.

Nokia N8
In my previous blog posts a detailes list of the pros and corns about new Nokia N8 is discussed. I am using this phone for the last four months and it is performing very well. I used to down load a lot of applications and i liked it very much especially the car games on HD.
The biggest feature on the Nokia N8 is its 12-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and Xenon flash. It features a substantially larger sensor than any ever used in any other Nokia device – even bigger than many found in dedicated cameras. Recently, we caught up with Nokia’s resident camera guru, Damian Dinning, to get the full lowdown on what went into fine-tuning the N8′s camera and video capture skills – you’ll be able to read the full fact-packed story right here on Conversations this week, so stay tuned.
The Nokia N8 also introduces the ability to record high definition videos and edit them with a smart built-in editing suite on the device. Playback quality is just as important, and the 3.5-inch HD capacitive touchscreen is the ideal window for assessing your flicks and footage. There’s also a HDMI connector allowing you to hook the smartphone to your HD TV and share your media with friends and family in superb quality. We wanted to find out more about the benefits of HDMI in the Nokia N8 so we spoke to Paul Wheeler, a software program manager at Nokia, to get the full story – again, be sure to keep an eye out for our full story this later this week.
The Nokia N8 also doubles as a portable entertainment centre. Watch HD quality video with Dolby Digital Plus surround sound and hook into a dedicated Web TV application for access to news and entertainment on the move.
It’s not just its 12-megapixel camera and HD video skills with HDMI support that set the Nokia N8 apart from the crowd. Packing more memory than most, the Nokia N8 has 16GB of built-in storage and is expandable up to 48GB with a micro SD card.
Joining the social messaging fold with the likes of the latest Eseries and Cseries devices, the N8 enters the fray with live Twitter and Facebook updates direct to your homescreen. Comment, read and send messages, update your status and share your location and photos with one touch.
Embracing location based services, the N8 is location-savvy and comes with free global Ovi Maps walk and drive navigation with support in more than 70 countries worldwide.
Powering the Nokia N8 is the all-new Symbian^3 platform. This latest incarnation introduces major new advances including multi-touch and support for gestures such as pinch-to-zoom. Onboard there’s also three customisable homescreens that can be loaded with applications and widgets and flicked through by a swish of the finger. There’s also improved 2D and 3D graphics for a faster and more responsive UI, greater memory management and a visual task manager.
Of course, the Nokia N8 comes with access to the full range of Ovi services and it’s Nokia’s first smartphone to be integrated with Qt. Got and idea for an app? Qt is a software development environment that makes it a cinch to build apps and deploy across the Symbian and other software platforms.
Not to be outdone by its innards the Nokia N8 is carved from a single piece of anodised aluminium and looks glorious decked in one of five eye-catching colours (we’ll shortly be bringing you an entire article dedicated to the colours). It will cost €370 (before the usual local taxes and subsidies) when it starts shipping in the third quarter of 2010.For Vodafone the cost is 420 Euro in 2011.
Over the coming week we’ll bring you heaps more insight and info surrounding the new Nokia N8, including designer interviews, exclusive videos, and much more. Stay tuned for all our unmissable coverage throughout the week.
