Nokia 5230 Unlimited Music Edition, Coming to T-Mobile http://www.worldofnokia.co.uk/2010/09/nokia-5230-unlimited-music-edition-coming-to-t-mobile/ http://www.worldofnokia.co.uk/2010/09/nokia-5230-unlimited-music-edition-coming-to-t-mobile/#comments Mon, 06 Sep 2010 19:12:51 +0000 Dan Carter http://www.worldofnokia.co.uk/?p=2932 The T-Mobile coming soon section has been updated and now includes the Nokia 5230 Unlimited Music Version (formally Comes With Music).

This version of the 5230 comes with 12 months unlimited music downloads available as a code in the box which can be used on the OVI Music service either on the handset or on a Windows computer.

OVI Music is the new name for what was once called Comes With Music and what will be interesting is if the 5230 is on Pay As You Go with the voucher or if this is limited to contract only like the 5800 was on T-Mobile a while back.

Nokia N8 Tune Ringtone http://www.worldofnokia.co.uk/2010/09/nokia-n8-tune-ringtone/ http://www.worldofnokia.co.uk/2010/09/nokia-n8-tune-ringtone/#comments Sun, 05 Sep 2010 14:58:20 +0000 Dan Carter http://www.worldofnokia.co.uk/?p=2929 By now you must have heard that catchy tune from the Nokia N8 video’s which are all over the internet especially YouTube.  if you do not know the tune I am talking about then below is a video

Ah so now you remember the music I was talking about.  Well over on Facebook where there is a fan page set up for the N8, someone has downloaded the track and converted it to MP3 so you can have your very own Nokia N8 ringtone (at least until the real phone comes out).

The download is an MP3 so you can set on most phones if you like.

Nokia N8 Going On Sale 23rd Sept? http://www.worldofnokia.co.uk/2010/09/nokia-n8-going-on-sale-23rd-sept/ http://www.worldofnokia.co.uk/2010/09/nokia-n8-going-on-sale-23rd-sept/#comments Wed, 01 Sep 2010 20:47:40 +0000 Dan Carter http://www.worldofnokia.co.uk/?p=2925 NokNok.tv have posted today that they spotted an advert on Google from Nokia staying the N8 will be available on the 23rd September which is 1 week before any other retailer will get hands on it to sell.

This was backed up by an image of the google ad which does indeed state in stock and ready to ship on the 23rd.

No price has been leaked yet but the estimated price going on rumors and other stores current price is £419.99 and will also be available in a wide range of colours.

The Nokia N8 expected to be available to pre-order in the UK direct from Nokia within the next few days so if you are like me and itching to get your hands on the 12MP with Xenon powerhouse best keep checking for availability and get your order in quickly

Nokia N8 on O2 Launch Date! http://www.worldofnokia.co.uk/2010/08/nokia-n8-on-o2-launch-date/ http://www.worldofnokia.co.uk/2010/08/nokia-n8-on-o2-launch-date/#comments Tue, 31 Aug 2010 11:16:17 +0000 Dan Carter http://www.worldofnokia.co.uk/?p=2923 A source at O2 has just advised me that the Nokia N8 is due out on their network on the 1st week of October.

This seems to back up the message we were sent a few days ago where a customer of O2 was tild they can get the N8 from the 6th October.

Check back on this page later today for an image confirming this information but it looks like the Nokia N8 is confirmed on O2 for the first week of October!.

Tesco To Offer N8 At £289.97?? http://www.worldofnokia.co.uk/2010/08/tesco-to-offer-n8-at-289-97/ http://www.worldofnokia.co.uk/2010/08/tesco-to-offer-n8-at-289-97/#comments Tue, 31 Aug 2010 06:41:52 +0000 Dan Carter http://www.worldofnokia.co.uk/?p=2921 Spotted just this morning is the fact Tesco Mobile here in the UK have the Nokia N8 as coming soon on Pay As You Go for what is an amazing price (if true) of just £289.97!.

Part of me thinks this is a misprint and the price will change to around £389.97 but if this is true and the N8 can be purchased for under £300 then expect Tesco to sell out VERY quickly!

No other network has of yet stated a launch date for the N8 with Vodafone showing it as coming soon with no month, O2 do not have it anywhere on their site neither do Orange and T-Mobile have it as coming soon but again no month listed.

The N8 is expected to go on sale the last week of September or the first week of October depending where you look and how you want to buy.

Stay tuned for any news about the N8 and Nokia World next month right here

Nokia N8 To Cost…. £419.99 http://www.worldofnokia.co.uk/2010/08/nokia-n8-to-cost-419-99/ http://www.worldofnokia.co.uk/2010/08/nokia-n8-to-cost-419-99/#comments Wed, 25 Aug 2010 09:03:17 +0000 Dan Carter http://www.worldofnokia.co.uk/?p=2909 Just updated over on the online retailer eXpansys is the price they are asking for the Nokia N8 which is as we predicted £419.99 but still no date for going on sale.

Alth0ugh this is not an official Nokia price, it would seem pretty certain that as Play and eXpansys are both quoting £419.99 that the official Nokia price would be in line with this.

The N8 is the first Symbian^3 device and features a large touch screen, 12 megapixel camera with Xenon flash and is expected to go on sale either the last week of September or the start of October.

Nokia Announce 5250 Handset http://www.worldofnokia.co.uk/2010/08/nokia-announce-5250-handset/ http://www.worldofnokia.co.uk/2010/08/nokia-announce-5250-handset/#comments Tue, 24 Aug 2010 21:12:03 +0000 Dan Carter http://www.worldofnokia.co.uk/?p=2906 Nokia have announced the 5250 which is a low end touch GSM phone (no 3G or WiFi here) and features Symbian^1, a 2.8 inch nHD touch screen with a 640×360 pixel resolution.

The 5250 goes on sale in Q4 for around €115 (£94) and should be popular with the Pay As You Go market thanks to a good quality screen and music features such as supporting a 16gb memory card.

The full information from Nokia Conversations can be found below

Nokia set rumours flying a couple of weeks ago when pictures of an as-yet unreleased device were inadvertently uploaded to the Ovi Store. Well, now it’s officially launched – the Nokia 5250 is a touchscreen, music-centric device aimed anyone seeking a modern, multipurpose mobile that also offers great value for money. Read on for pictures and specs.

The device comes with a music player on the home screen and tracks can be downloaded from Ovi Music or your own collection. There’s 51MB of memory on board, but audiophiles can expand this to up to 16GB with a microSD memory card – enough space for 4000 songs. The device also offers an FM radio. Topping off its musical credentials, the 5250 comes with a free copy of the acclaimed Guitar Hero 5 Mobile: this is a phone that invites you to rock out while you’re on the move. The Nokia 5250 will ship with the all-you-can-eat music offering, Ovi Music Unlimited, in selected territories.

This is a highly sociable phone. Also on the home screen, you’ll find your favourite contacts and there’s easy access to Facebook, MySpace and the rest. You can also log-in to multiple email accounts such as Ovi Mail, Gmail and Yahoo! Mail, as well as instant messenger accounts from all the usual suspects. Extra applications can, of course, be added using the Ovi Store.

Battery life is also excellent. The device will last up to 18 days in standby or up to seven hours talktime. If you stick to music, then it can play for 24 hours without stopping.

The 5250 runs the Symbian^1 operating system and offers GSM/EDGE communications over four bands and GPRS for data. It has a 2.8-inch TFT screen with a 16:9 apect ratio and a resolution of 640 x 360 pixels. On the back, there’s a 2-megapixel camera, with Ovi Share installed to let you upload your snaps to the Web. Eminently pocketable, the device measures 104mm x 49mm x 14mm.

Before taxes and operator subsidies, the Nokia 5250 will cost just €115 and is expected to ship in the fourth quarter.
