Will the 7610 be S40?

Stop ruining my favorite S60 model names with S40 handsets Nokia :P

Freddo

Wish there were a larger pic of the 7610 Supernova. Looks very good IMO.

Rahvin

yes, it really looks good!a fashion phone with 'brains'

Mweb

Yeah, the "old" 7610 had a cult following, this new model looks strangely interesting, shows promise.

Unfortunately it's not quite an Einstein...no 3G or real OS puts it more in the Paris Hilton level.

Seems like it uses the cam to adapt the colors of the keypad and menu...as Eldar mentioned a while ago. Kinda interesting:

Seems like Nokia is back using Xpress-on covers with this one.

More pics (thanks chlettn for the XML file, there are links!)

I like this phone. Looks very nice

Itachi

Whats the latest on the 5800 tube? Any ideas on possible announcment dates?

alastiar

The Supernova series looks duh-licious hope there will be a 7910 Supernova. lol

Ruhul

The front is same as 5300

difenbaker

this is series 40, right?

.... wonder why nokia is porting the former s60 names to series 40? Like the 6600... now the 7610? Are all s60's going to be part of the N-series now?

sms

I think these old phones are of no importance now and are irrelevant to what will the next phone with the same number will be, for example, the only thing in common between the two 7610s I can think of is that they're both fashion products, but then again all 7*** series are, aren't they

btw, I like the way nokia's designing their handsets lately.

Viipottaja

Who cares what the number is?

krystof.korb

there is a two color versions

I think Nokia is intentionally confusing us by rehashing old numbers/names!

A person wanting more info on the 3120 classic for example, types "3120" on google, and he's faced with dozens of pages with the 3120 on it. But he's after the new one not the old one. Same with the 6600 - he's shown dozens, maybe hundreds of pages with the 6600 on it. Same goes for the 7610, and all the other rehashed names of Nokia.

With so many numbers out there, not necessarily those with a 4 in them, why cant they just think of something new to name their new phones? IMO, Nokia had lost all creativity when naming their phones! Shame on them.

Viipottaja

Oh well.. 1) 99% (or something in that order anyway ) of people looking for a phone walk into a store 2) 99% of those people don't care about what the heck the number/name of the phone is. 3) Those looking online mostly go to a web-phone store or a manufacturer's site. 4) those looking online with a specific number actually know which phone they are looking for and what it looks like so they can easily tell which one is the right one.

Anyway, I think its a minor issue.

sms

it's not even an issue, it's just that some people can't live without whining, even if there's nothing to whine about, that's part of who they are. I can't see how can anyone confuse two models 4 freakin years apart, they even added a tag like "supernova" and "slide" for those who are complete boneheads *sigh*

difenbaker

yup... think I'd agree with that. It aint funny no more, the fact is, it's gettin downright boring.

buying a new phone with an old name, bleeahh!... where's the fun in that?

yeah... it's a minor issue, it's actually a non-issue... but still, it shows lack of creativity on their part.


cheers!

oneclick

If that's the case, then nokia should just stop with the numbers they have now. Hahaha.. The N96 - - the next one should be N96-16GB, or N96 Fold, N96 Slide, or N96 Supernova, or N96 comet, or N96 Megaphone, or N96 Terminator, or whatever nicknames they want to add to it! Let's see how exciting that will be.

Yes, I agree it's a minor issue.

ICEman_c81

N96 Megaphone? That would be nice for Russian carrier "Megaphone"

mtomczak

Ok, where's the annoucement of the E71???
Kinda weird that BGR has already made a review without official pics and info from Nokia :/

ritz@98925

Bring it on...That's the kinda question I like being asked.
Last I dreamt was the E71 being canned by Nokia for not being hyped & wanted good enough by the online community.

Ruhul

Lets evacuate e series. They are getting boring now. Taking way too time to be announced.

Viipottaja

Ruhul, how so? Based on some always unconfirmed and unfounded rumors? Remember the first time the codenames and picks were leaked in some roadmap? It said Q2 2008. They are right on time (assuming they are announced and shipped by Nokia as well in June ).

lightindark

E series have always been boring...

Dr Tran

I'm hearing people are getting invites to a launch event in Europe sometime this month.

Viipottaja

Lightindark, well, business devices usually are a bit on the boring side. Although E51 and E65 are pretty nice in everyday use too.

W00fer

Dr Tran:

Wrong. The launch event of the E Series is planned during the summer event of Nokia, in July.

ritz@98925

The same kind of launch that was expected in Hmmmm. January, then February,which became March, I think April was skipped, then May ended with an Italian operator announcing it, then comes June which is like 4 days down already.
According to my sources, who is as good as others who expected the E 71/66 to be launched in all the earlier months, the problem with Nokia not launching these phones is their indecisiveness regarding, whether to include a 1 GB memory card or 2 GB memory card with the sales package. The meeting to decide this is scheduled on Halloween day and ETA is Christmas 08.

There is a Q2 result announcement on July 17 , if that is the summer event of Nokia.!!

Kael

EDIT

sorry, it was already here with the memory cards, thought it was real this time

TreRep

also mobile operator "3" will announce e66 and e71 in their mobile list on thursday in rome

ritz@98925

I trust you man. You were right the last time too.
I tried checking TIM site,but they don't seem to have updated their online offerings.

ritz@98925

Thats nice .But when do they start selling it?

ritz@98925

^thats gr8 news too.

krystof.korb

can you make a photo/scan?

Viipottaja

"the problem with Nokia not launching these phones is their indecisiveness regarding, whether to include a 1 GB memory card or 2 GB memory card with the sales package. The meeting to decide this is scheduled on Halloween day and ETA is Christmas 08."

Lol.. hi hi hi.. he he he.... HAH HAH HAH! That was the funniest sentence in a looong while!

W00fer

ritz: You think they will stall a phone which is 98% ready, for a lousy memcard which costs them 5 bucks on manufacturing ?

No way, if they want to keep up with the competition (Blackberry Bold is coming) then they will launch it very soon.

chlettn

I think that wasn't meant really all that serious

RADicalSatDude

Started a Wikipedia article on the Nokia E71. Hope its released soon.

Nokia E71 @ Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_E71

Its worth the wait.

Itachi

Does anyone know when we can expect Tube to be announced and what sort of specs can be expected of Tubes successor which is meant to be annoucned shortly after right?

Nokia_Boi

I'm really considering getting an Eseries phone as my next one. Dammit. Release the E66 and the E71 already.

RADicalSatDude

I've been waiting for a Nokia phone in Candybar form factor with QWERTY + FM Radio since my first Nokia 5510. This is the first phone I'll get as soon as its released, no more waiting. Finally!

3.2 Mpx Camera (Autofocus and Flash) + WiFi + MP3 + GPS Onboard & Assisted + FM Radio + QWERTY + 1,500 mAh Battery = Nokia E71

chlettn

The E66 is more expensive? Isn't that a bit weird?

ritz@98925

Could be reverse....but are they selling it already. I think prices were declared last to last saturday in Madrid convention.

claudio

Nice devices announced by nokia but there's no high end device though

TreRep

price are reverse!

as i said before, e66 is 429 euros sim free and e71 is 449

mtomczak

what devices were announced? none. still no annoucement. :/

xtemujin

I'll have a lookout for this Saturdays local newspaper for the E66 and E71 as Nokia will usually place a full page advertisement for newly launched handphone.
