We have just got some News that Nokia is now getting a New Community project by Nokia developers for making a New Mobile phone from the Nseries Family but that can Take Nokia to the top Again. The New Phone will have a Full QWERTY Keyboard and 8MP camera with Dual-LED flash, a 4.0 TFT Capacitive touch screen and with Symbian^4 on it. All that beside the Default Features as Bluetooth 3.0 + EDR, WiFi 802.11b/g, A-GPS, FM Radio, USB-on the-GO and Many Other Features that will make this phone in the top for All People who looking for High-Performance Full-option Mobile Phones. But we don’t have any confirmation about the CPU or RAM of this Device but I thought it will have 512MB RAM, 256MB ROM and an ARM-Snapdragon 1GHZ processors. 

Wait for Our Full Review of the Upcoming N9

Cellphone concepts are a dime a dozen, but a couple of particularly interesting ones have cropped up in recent days, including Andrew Kim's HTC 1, and this so called Nokia Kinetic concept from British designer Jeremy Innes-Hopkins. Obviously, the most eye-catching aspect here is that prominent base, which is not simply a design flourish but actually houses an electromagnet that allows the phone to spring up on cue when an alarm goes off, for instance, or during a hands-free video call (simply flip the phone back down to dismiss the action). It's also not quite as chunky as it might look  Jeremy tells us that the top half of the actual prototype is just 8mm thick, while the bottom is 18mm, and he notes that the base also conveniently doubles as a more camera-like grip for taking photos.

Nokia Siemens has just announced that it will be purchasing Motorola's wireless network for $1.2 billion. This comes on the heels of an announcement by Moto that it would be splitting the company in two, one for Mobile Devices and one for Broadband and Mobility Solutions.

It's clearly the company's strong showing in both WiMAX and CDMA that Nokia Siemens is after, although The New York Times points out that integrating the 7,500-strong staff, manufacturing, supply lines, and multiple product lines will be quite a challenge. The deal will hopefully be finalized by the end of the year.

It's been a while since we last heard something on Symbian^4. While ^3 is yet to roll out, its successor already showed its face. The shots are taken from an emulator of the OS, but there's no wow factor yet.

The shots below clearly demonstrate the new homescreen, pop-up menus, widgets, dial pad, etc.

Here is some other Lower Resolution screenshots The things we still miss here are some 3D effects or transparency. At this stage we can’t simply put Symbian^4 to its current rivals. BTW Nokia is Leaving MeeGo for High-end devices ONLY!

Nokia N8 has a brilliant AMOLED screen and we are talking about unmatched racing experience with Asphalt 5 here. Asphalt series has been here for a while and we've been playing it on our older Nokias but its going to be a totally different game on Nokia N8 with accelerometer controls, large touchscreen to view the cars race through those 12 different maps and a cute little on-screen NoS button.

The game has both day and night racing modes, 29 different vehicles to drive in 12 unique locations around the world. See the Demo video.

Nokia's looking to ride the mojo of any negative fallout from today's Apple press conference, slipping out a rather fascinating statement this afternoon. The gist of it is that Espoo's keen on letting everyone know how much blood, sweat, and tears they've poured into perfecting their antenna design strategy over the years, going so far as to say that they "prioritize" it over the physical design of the phone if they need to in order to optimize its call performance Follow the break for the full statement. 

"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."

Symbian^4 is clearly going to be a bit of a departure from the versions that came before it. The Symbian Foundation has posted the first handful of home screen UI shots on its developer wiki recently showing redesigned widgets, app categories and search, pop-up menus, and a standard-issue numeric touchscreen keypad -- and unlikeNokia's concept videos from before, these are from a real emulator running real code. Nokia's expecting to use Symbian^4 in at least some of its devices by early 2011 and knowing how these guys like to go big with global roll-outs spanning tens or hundreds of millions of devices.

The Nokia N8 has been causing a bit of a stir. This week, Damian Dinning has been taking us through a step-by-step guide to the camera. We’ve been asking you to vote on polls galore and we’ve heard the tech blogerati are itching to get their hands on the device. We already know the basic specs and the price, but is there more to the Nokia N8 than meets the eye? Here's a run-through of some of the other things in the N8 that makes it one of this year's most hotly anticipated phones.

Aluminium
The Nokia N8 is crafted from a single piece of anodised aluminium. The process of anodising the aluminum increases its corrosion and wear resistance. With the casings’ ultra scratch-resistant powers, you can scratch a set of keys on the back of the device and with a quick wipe the mark will magically disappear. The anodised aluminium doesn’t just banish scratches, it also means it's possible to bring the N8 to the market in a rainbow of colours.

Buttons
Not one to scrimp on the detail, Nokia has made sure that all the bases – or more to the point, buttons – are covered. All the buttons along the side of the device are cut-outs from the same piece of aluminium, adding to the luxury feel of the device. Also, for the clumsy amongst us, the moveable buttons have been rubberised to save your digits from mishaps.

HDMI
Showing off your mobile content at home has never been easier. The HDMI connector allows you to connect your N8 to your TV and share all the pics from your travels. Alternatively, you can watch side-loaded true HD quality content in real time via HDMI at up to 30fps. Add to this Dolby Digital Plus Surround sound capabilities, and you’ve got the complete package. In the box, the N8 will come with HDMI adapter for you to connect with a standard HDMI cable.

Screen
With the capacitive touchscreen on offer on the N8, there's the capability to pinch zoom in applications like Photos and Browser. Did you know that capacitive touchscreens will only respond to materials that are conductive? Handy if you’ve got sticky fingers and need to give the screen a quick wipe with a cloth. It also responds to just a touch rather that a press on the screen. No worrying about oops-a-daisy inputs here. With a 3.5 inches screen estate, AMOLED, 16M colours and a resolution of 640 x 360 pixels, it's perfect for watching widescreen movies too.

Battery Life
Within the Nokia N8 is an integrated battery that’ll keep you in juice for days. Talk-time at its maximum is 720 mins (GSM) and 350 mins (WCDMA) and standby time comes in at 390 hours (GSM) and 400 hours (WCDMA). Not bad for a smartphone, we think.

Social Networking
We’re accustomed to keeping in touch with Ovi, on the Nokia N8 it's even easier. Social networks can be accessed from multiple places such as the homescreen, maps and contacts. Live feeds from Facebook and Twitter are directly pushed to the homescreen for easy viewing. Also, you can comment, read and send messages, update your status and share your location, photos and more. Calendar events from social networks can also be added to the device calendar, so you’ll – hopefully – never miss an important date again.

Flash Support
YouTube fans and gamers rejoice – Flash is supported on the Nokia N8. It's a Flash 10.1 compatible Flash runtime (ActionScript 3) and player, called Flash Lite. A point to note: the device does not support all of Flash 10 features for graphics but all video-related features are supported.

Email
Nokia N8 features a completely new email client combining several accounts into one. In addition to Ovi Mail, there is a large amount of supported email clients with POP3/IMAP. There is also support for the business email solution, Mail for Exchange.

WebTV
WebTV is another new weapon added to the Nokia N8's arsenal. The Web TV application delivers TV programs, news and entertainment from channels like Paramount, E! Entertainment, CNN and National Geographic. Locally relevant Web TV content will also available from the Ovi Store.

Sensors
The Nokia N8 has backlighting and ambient light sensor, magnetometer (compass), orientation sensor and a proximity sensor. Both the orientation sensor and magnetometer come in very handy for finding your way around using Ovi Maps. The proximity sensor and ambient light sensor, on the other hand, are your battery's best friend. The proximity sensor will switch off the screen every time you bring the phone to your face to answer a call and the ambient light sensor will adjusts the display's brightness dependent on your surroundings.

Another member of the Nokia Cseries of no-nonsense phones just leaked. And the photos were published by no other but Nokia itself. Apparently the guys supporting the Dutch website of the company were a bit too eager to publish the details about the handset and forgot that it's still unannounced.

Carrying one of those confusing names that have become Nokia trademark as of late, the C6-01 is a slight upgraded version of the rather popular C6. The new handset brings an 8MP autofocus camera and dual-LED flash, compared to a 5 megapixel snapper with a single LED on the first C6.

The back panel has also been redesigned, but that's about all the changes that Nokia C6-01 brings. Even the user interface of the C6-01 is Symbian^1, rather than the upcoming Symbian^3.

The Nokia C6-01 will be available in black and white versions and will cost about 280 euro.
