If you’ve been keeping up with the gadget rumor sites, you’ve probably seen the Nokia 5250 numerous times. The company finally made the oft-leaked device official, confirming it as a music-centric touchscreen phone that offers great value for your money.
Running the Symbian^1 operating system (aka S60 5th edition), it brings Nokia’s old UI, along with all the features that long-time users of the Finnish company’s phones should be familiar with. Designed for heavy music users, it features a music player right on the home screen, along with instant access to Ovi Music Unlimited, an all-you-can-download music service available for selected territories. Other musical talents include an FM radio and a mobile version of Guitar Hero 5 pre-installed.
The Nokia 5250 has a 2.8-inch touchscreen (640 x 360 resolution, 16:9 display ratio), a 2.0 megapixel camera module, quad-band GSM/EDGE/GPRS, stereo Bluetooth and microSD card expansion (up to 16GB). It’s extremely pocketable too, measuring 104mm x 49mm x 14mm. Battery is rated at 7 hours of talk time and 24 hours of music playback.
Aside from the music features, it’s quite generous on the social capabilities. You get to add your favorite contacts right on the home screen, along with quick access to email accounts and social networks. It also has access to downloadable apps via the Ovi Store.
Pricing for the Nokia 5250 is set at an enticing €115 (around $145) before taxes and subsidies, with shipping slated for the fourth quarter. For a touchscreen feature phone with Ovi Music Unlimited and an affable design, it definitely sounds like a nice offer.

Nokia has announced a new candybar that delivers a refreshing change for the form factor. Called the Nokia X3-02 Touch and Type, the feature phone boasts both a touchscreen and an alphanumeric keypad right on the handset’s front panel.
Running the company’s old feature phone OS, it’s one of the few S40 devices to have a touchscreen on board (a couple of them have previously been released for the Chinese market), making it one of the more interesting non-smartphones to come out from the Finnish company. We’re not sure how well S40 will work on a touchscreen, though, so that should be something to watch out for (or be wary of, if you’re thinking of buying one).
Details of the Nokia X3-02 Touch and Type include a 2.4-inch touchscreen (320 x 240 resolution), a 5.0 megapixel camera module with video recording, Bluetooth 2.1, FM radio with RDS, 3.5mm audio jack and microSD card expansion (up to 16GB). Connectivity suite is pretty complete, with both WiFi and 3G with HSPA on board.
Since it’s running S40, you should expect Nokia’s familiar messaging strengths, along with support for Java applications. Communities, an app for access to social networking sites Facebook and Twitter, will come preloaded. From the photos, the handset looks notably attractive too, with nice sharp lines, a brushed aluminum finish and a slim 9.6 mm profile.
The Nokia X3-02 Touch and Type is slated for availability in multiple markets before the end of the third quarter, priced at €125 ($161) before taxes and subsidies. It will come in five color versions (White Silver, Petrol Blue, Lilac, Pink and Dark Metal).
The Nokia 5800 got a new firmware update. The new firmware v51.0.006 seems to only be available for a few products codes for now, but it should soon be available for the rest of the 5800 product codes. So if you are not able to update your phone, try again in a day or so

As we’ve all seen, Apple had mentioned Nokia in their press conference today regarding the iPhone4. I wanted to take a moment and send you a statement regarding Nokia’s own antenna design and function.
Antenna design is a complex subject and has been a core competence at Nokia for decades, across hundreds of phone models. Nokia was the pioneer in internal antennas; the Nokia 8810, launched in 1998, was the first commercial phone with this feature.
Nokia has invested thousands of man hours in studying human behavior, including how people hold their phones for calls, music playing, web browsing and so on. As you would expect from a company focused on connecting people, we prioritize antenna performance over physical design if they are ever in conflict.
In general, antenna performance of a mobile device/phone may be affected with a tight grip, depending on how the device is held. That’s why Nokia designs our phones to ensure acceptable performance in all real life cases, for example when the phone is held in either hand. Nokia has invested thousands of man hours in studying how people hold their phones and allows for this in designs, for example by having antennas both at the top and bottom of the phone and by careful selection of materials and their use in the mechanical design.

Nokia is accusing Mobile-Review and its editor Eldar Murtazin for not returning prototypes of Nokia phones. As an action, Nokia has sent Russian police to raid the Mobile-Review office. Eldar denies that Nokia has asked him to return the phones. What do you guys say? Is this the best way for Nokia to handle this or are they just pissed of Eldar for not liking the Nokia N8?
