Summary currently unavailable sorry....

Jo

i wonder if the n82 will have a 3.5 jackport.
i still think it looks ugly .
hope the real pictures of it make it look better

dave_vl

8900 is ugly..8600 is gorgeous.

Freddo

In the beginning of this year, some high Nokia person said that all future phones in the N-series would have support for WiFi and a 3.5mm jack.

I wonder if those two things are the only new features in the N78 compared to the N73, or if there will be more added features, such as a GPS. Of course, the N78 will have a faster CPU, more RAM and newer S60 OS compared to the N73, but those are merely upgraded features, and not new ones.

Awesome_Aleks

Good on ya, I was thinking of doing something like that myself but I had a feeling I would get bored of updating it

Do you plan on updating this with conceptual designs that may become available? ie N95 with VGA screen?

wasn't there a rumoured 5500 successor to be announced this year?

What about the touch-screen Nokia at the Go Play announcement (in the video)? (you could just list this as touch-screen Nokia, or have a Company direction thing like the Esato thread which includes new strategies for the brand)

sms

Afair, that person said that all upcoming N-series will have 3.5mm jack, and all Eseries will have Wifi, but I'm not sure of the source though.

will, obviously the N82 is what you're looking for.

but there are no info about the 5500 successor just yet, as for the iNokia I'll add it, and the 3555.

Freddo

"From now on, all the Nseries will have Wi-Fi"
"We're not going to have any proprietary jacks any more"

source (interview with Pekka Pohjakallio, VP of Nseries computers in Nokia's multimedia division)

Could be, but I suspect the N82 simply have too many features and will drain the battery too quickly for my taste, as the N95. And then there's the looks, as vain it might be, and I'm not too fond of how the N82 looks, unless they release a black model too. And the GPS isn't a must-have feature, at least not for me, and it's easy enough to buy a Wireless GPS Module like the LD-4W if I really wanted it. In either case, I suspect I will have a hard time choosing between the N78 and the N82.

sms

Freddo, well, the N77 was announced one month after that and it has no wifi or 3.5mm jack , but N81 and N95-8GB did, thanx for the source.

varsamakos

Maybe N82 will have gps and not the N78...

Freddo

That does seem likely.

However, according to this interview from april, we "will see GPS in a broader range of devices in the future, with N Series out in front". Which makes me wonder if N78 will have a GPS or not.

And then there's these news too; "By the end of next year we will have tens of navigation-enabled devices on the market," Anssi Vanjoki, head of Nokia's multimedia unit, told a conference call.

mustis

When N73 was introduced, the remake of its predecessor, N70, was introduced. I think it was N72. So it would be logical to introduce a "remake" of N73 along with the successor, N82.

domipost

Why, That was one time!

GaMerZ

i wonder will the N78 come with Wifi as stated in the sollowing strategy, all Nseries will come with Wifi

Jo

sms it was developed from before the said that...
the n81 n76 did had 3.5mm jackport though

depean

WHAT????? Is it TRUE???? (Further it seems NoOne is interested in that 9xxx phone/COMMIE here...)

I am communicator user, and not at all interested in s60 based E90... Whether new 9xxx model is based on (MOST probably not based on Series80/90) s60 again or LINUX????

Anyway its interesting to see E9x and new 9xxx at the same time (like N-series and other regular s60 devices around now)

Can anyone in the know (Badger and others), PLEASE confirm the 6-th item in the LONG list... PLEASE PLEASE...

sms

badger already did

http://forum2.mobile-review.com/show...8&postcount=44

remember, I only gather info from tursted sources, my post is not and will not be a garbage can.

chlettn

We haven't seen a new 9xxx since the 9300i. And even that was more or less a rehash...

Now, as the E- and Nseries branding is used for all high-end handsets, I really wonder what the 9xxx range will be used for?

D-Off

sms
I'd say not yet
Remember, I'll be watching you

sms

thanx for confirmation D-Off!

I'd be happy if you do.

Viipottaja

I am not buying the 9xxx rumor, at least not yet. And S80 was canned a long time ago, so even if it did come out, it would not be based on S80. Right, Badger?

playdead

I don't know anything about 9xxx range, and I don't think they will be introduced as 9xxx devices. Naming depends on what division is developing the fones, if the enterprise it's gonna be Eseries phone. Previous 9xxx devices and 68xx devices were developed exactly by enterprice division, and then like Multimedia division this line got letter E.

So IF 9xxx device exists which I doubt, it's not a commi anyways

Awesome_Aleks

I don't think it will be a communicator either, the 5xxx series was modified to become a music phone line, whether there is still space for active phones is to be confirmed

i do still think they are coming though, badger is rarely wrong

D-Off

playdead
There is no "Enterprise" or "Multimedia" anymore

sms

D-Off, but I thought the restructure won't take place before the beginning of 2008?

http://www.nokia.com/A4136001?newsid=1134322

playdead

D-Off, the structure is still the same and WILL be the same. Were changed only reports, but still the engineers of Enterprise dividion are developing business range of smartphones, Multimedia - Nseries smartphones. Naming has not been changed as well.

Maybe I don't understand you but aren't you trying to say that engineers of the Enterprice division will develop communicators along with 1xxx series phones for example? I.e. all the business units of Nokia that were developing different ranges of phones become one unit called Devises?

Viipottaja

They will become one division. And the engineers develop devices that their management tells them to develop. I.e. merging all devices into one division should improve coherence of planning and execution accross all of Nokia device portfolio, and reduce the perceived/apparent (not necessarily real) lack of coordination and communication e.g. between E and N series devices. I don't think only reports change.

Having said that, all organisations have latency and tendency to avoid real change, so the impact of the organization changes remains to be seen and will certainly take some time.

Ruhul

It could be nokia n82:

playdead

Viipottaja, there won't be one division in the way as you says. And fyi all three divisions (multimedia, Enterprice and MP) were controlled by high ranked managers anyways, there could not be ANY lack of coordination.

Ruhul

iqtidar

tens or tons?

Ruhul

Tens = 10s, i am not so sure. Look at the link. Stefan also wrote it tens. 2 times.

a2k24

this sucks really... there are absolutely no leaks at all these days!!!! bah!

chlettn

A new one for the first post:

Less than a month to go

Seth

For those who did not buy the 8600 Luna, here's the 8900:



Looks not as bad as the leaked pics before.

sms

another music event! that is damn strange maybe it's to announce the "availability" of the N81 (see the N81 buttons).

let's hope that episode will be as good as the last one.

*first post updated*

Super Chimp

Where is the successor to the N93 that is supposed to be on it's way in 2008?

sms

badger said before: "5mpx camera with optical zoom got canned!" so I guess if it is in 2008, it will be as late as Q4.

chlettn

I think it was Eomer saying that...but other than that, that's what I remember.

Anyway - I'm pretty much sure we'll see new devices on November, 2nd..just for a release, it is a bit too much about nothing imho, especially as Nokia has never given EXACT release dates.

And "Next Episode" seems to be now what "Open Studio" was last year - the Nseries tagline...not necessarily indicating another music-centric announcement. Just a multimedia-centric one, and pretty much all Nseries are multimedia-savy imho

a2k24

successor of N91 perhaps! flash based phone hopefully.

Super Chimp

Thanks for that I must of missed that.

I wonder if we will see another upgrade of the N95 announced in 2008, as it's selling so well I thought rather than replacing it that Nokia might go for more extensive upgrade of the model than the improvements that the N95 8GB offers.

chlettn

I think HDD phones are definitely a thing of the past...flash is getting cheaper and cheaper with every passing day, making HDDs a clunky hard-to-implement option without any real advantage.

I'd just love to see 30+ GB of flash on a handset somewhen during the next year...

sms

yeah, both are just as reliable anyway , and that post was in the previous "next nokia announcement" which disappeared under vague circumstances and was filed against an unknown administrator (like we have much of those)

I hope so, but I don't think so, see my first post point five.

No NO!! please don't say that, not another N95, its design is so overused already.

Viipottaja

Playdead, I cannot recall whether it will be called division or not, but I do recall that there will be one division/department/unit responsible for all devices (Devises), under one Vice President's (or some other title) management. Obviously there will many units/departments and teams under him/her, but they all report to him/her. That's what I meant. And that is different from what they have now.

"This time, Nokia is to recombine all its handset activities into one unit, called Devices, having previously split them into three (Mobile Phones or basic handsets, Multimedia and Enterprise) at the start of 2004."

Nnorway

and when a ALL-IN-ONE multimedia-smarthphone.. some like N95 but better the same features plus some new... and with TOUCH-SCREEN?

Super Chimp

I like the N95 design so I wouldn't mind seeing another upgrade.

chlettn

I also think the N95 design gets old rapidly - it was nice, but it's really time to move on design-wise imho...

varsamakos

Twist phones are also welcome ...

mediaslaves

Everyone can see that this is a cheap mspaint image...

chlettn

mediaslaves, I'd like seeing you painting THAT with MSPaint...

It's 100% legit.
