So what can we expect from Nokia next? and when?

Well? Any ideas? BTW, Charlie's design could have been better.....looks like sumthing a 15yr old would use. Ash __________________ go to the rumor section, plenty of this information about this like '6260 (not 6240)' 'next release' 'latest info' 'Nokia 3g info' 'nokia 3g clam'... __________________ mad about lifting, we'll put all info in two days... __________________ EldarMurtazin, Exciting! __________________ whoohoo !! more news !! i like that sort of stuff. __________________ What can we expect? More phones with 128*128 screens? __________________ - 1300 a new basic phone, Very small - 2x00 - 3xxx a 3100 alike with camera and better design - a youth phone with touchweel design - 5xxx not sure - a 6300, - an updated 6230 (6260 with interesting twist in design), - a new 6850 (full open keypathdesign) - 7660 (or 86xx) a series 80 device video-phone - 7620 (update 7600?) - 7750 (series 90 with 3G - 8300 - 89xx (succesor 8910i) - 9xxx (9300) new clamshell one (smaller communicator, Not 3G) - Charlie a WCDMA megapixel cam - some new 3G clamshells (2-3) with dual cam(2H 2004) these are the main 3G line-up - a update on the series40 might become series 50 - bigger screens with res 163x132 - battery usage of the BL-6C (1070 mAh) - more phones with push to talk this data is a summary from posts of Delphi and Gaurav311... Let's see it's true at the end of this year... __________________ 8300 is not a final decision yet, but if they do that will be the unique-style 3g cam and pretty much their headliner for this new generation. The 6300 I played with should really be same thing but bigger and aimed more at modern business clients, also cheaper. I can certainly think of another 8 series - the one hinted at as 8220/8100 - that model retains aspects of 6230 in new premium line generation. Also there are some models using more than 163x132 as well obviously. 7750 may not be shown yet. some of the phones are still under very deep development, including lots of the new 3-series generation (3-4 3xxx phones), I would be surprised if eldar has got details on every single one. Lets wait and see also, about 5 clams, not 2-3 (nokia has gone all-out with clams now, so although initially 2 were planned, timing and operator pressure resulted in them dropping some experimental candybars and going with more clams with 2 cameras on them). the innovations this time round are huge with regards to menus and button ideology. __________________ gaurav311, i couldnt put all infos here, sorry because its confidential info of nokia... but i describe the way in which nokia going to develop new line (1920's retro design fro clams, tchnology etc) i hope that article will be prepare in two days... BTW Do you like 63xx? I think it isnt up-to-date and wont be popular on market... __________________ Charlie and 7620 aren't the same thing? __________________ retro is spot on, i look forward to your write-up. I think those dials are cute . For anyone who didn't like the 3650, prepare for a heart attack 63xx will sell good still i am sure in same way 6310i did when 8310 was out, & 7200 is not doing bad despite the size and internal features too. I suppose because there are so many new ones, they have to leave some things out of some handsets to make the more expensive ones more attractive, there's so many, they only need to sell a few each of these new ones . Nokia have to retain their identity with some things rather than move with the rest of the manufacturers I suppose. Putting qvga screens on all the phones would lead them to direct competition with samsung/sharp and they simply cannot win in that area really. Charlie and 7620 are like comparing a small bald businessman with a pretty woman. __________________ gaurav311, >retro is spot on, i look forward to your write-up. I think those dials are >cute . For anyone who didn't like the 3650, prepare for a heart attack Something like this? __________________ It's hideous! Funny picture though... would make texting a bit more challenging. __________________ hahahah A+ texting works differently to before, and the main aim of this concept (in some models) will be to aid fast menu/names navigation. of course it won't look like that exactly (or nokia would be going down veeryy fast) __________________ Quote: Originally Posted by gaurav311 hahahah A+ texting works differently to before, and the main aim of this concept (in some models) will be to aid fast menu/names navigation. Something like the touchwheel of an ipod, but with numbers and letters? __________________ here also i have some cool pictures from Mobileburn... __________________ kristof.vanriet, http://www.mobile-review.com/forum2/...achmentid=1063 I like this concept. Hope Nokia will bring it on the scene soon. __________________ nice sketches. mad, but nice a lot of them will just use same s40 menus with refined icons/shape etc, for most of the gsm-edge phones do not expect anything majorly different from what we already have with 7200 and 6230. expect major design innovation/trend setting though (especially external design, buttons), which has always been nokias strong point with phones like the 6/8 series on gsm. the 3g clams will use somethings you have not seen before at all however. I am not sure if eldar will be able reveal anything about those menus in next few days. when he releases pictures of the clams, i think it's important to bear in mind that these are quite heavy phones. they had a very high level magnesium/alum clam phone proto at recent meeting, 8950 I would suspect, but i would amazed if they introduced that this year, too many bugs/very heavy. i.e. expect very top end phones in 3g (dualcam clams in key markets) AND gsm premium ones like you have seen before. __________________ i'll try not to be too explicit here, but definiately expect a new series xx on one of these phones. totally new, and very nice. It suppose they could call it series 70. This is NOT a S40 replacement, it requires too much hardware to be able to put on normal phones. If they show that one, it's very early in development and the phone will not be out until Q105 earliest. Anyway eldar, one day left, show us which ones you have got? __________________ Interesting that no one is commenting on any of the Bluetooth accessories that Nokia is planing as many of the new phones will make use of accessories to extend the usability. The new platform that Nokia is using in the handsets with the touchwheel will make heavy use of accessories. kristof.vanriet, you are missing a lot of entry level phones which are not so interesting to talk about but their will be at least 3 new 2 series (clam and bar) as well as 2 or 3 new 3 series models by the end of the year __________________ I just hope they don't wait to long, not much very good devices in low and mid range at this moment... competition is getting bigger and stronger... the pictures i posted are just made by members of another forum (www.mobileburn.com), nothing comes from Nokia. So these aren't spypictures or rumors, just let's imagination going wild, just for the fun... made by TheZodiac and zalameh1 __________________ it's probably important to emphasize that most of the new nokias won't be too impressive (most low-mid ones still use cheap small screens), but are going to set new limits for what cheap handsets can do. A heavy emphasis will be on expensive accessories to tempt phone buyers afterwards, much in vein of their xpress-on idea (which was a BIG hit), and nokia expect the accessories to become very mainstream and generate a seperate strong stream of revenue. They hinted at this earlier with radio stand and bluetooth add-ons for 7250i etc, earlier, but reception was soft then. This time they are putting more emphasis on the core features of these accessories (similar situation to ngage-> ngage qd). If this takes off Nokia will be in BIG money all over again Only handset I have seen that will give the new nokia 8xxx sets a challenge is the Sony F. Samsungs to come later this year generally are re-hashes of last years releases (with bigger camera, mp3 etc), and I doubt that will let them gain any further market share. also on the small gsm 8xxx models - specification wise, do NOT expect a K700 beater. that simply cannot be done due to supply issues with screens of that type (a rumour going around lately) and simply because there is little else you can pack into the size of a handset to compete with K700. a few years back with 8310 vs T68i, nokia has a more trendy, much higher selling handset. for every t68i, nokia sold 10 8310s. even technically, t68i was very slow and poorly designed (non sony design lead). Nokia are obviously trying something similar here later this year again. The thing is, this time Ericsson has Sony with them. K700 destroys all weaknesses of t68i (fast menus, fantastic design) while capturing a lot of what made 8310 so successful. Basically, Nokia are going to have it harder this year, and should NOT act like they have the market to themselves and be wasting too much time on accessorizing their product range which may not even sell well in the first place. They'll need a hell of a handset to battle F700 afterwards also. They simply will not be able to charge $1000 again - no one will buy it. Nokia's turning into a Nintendo, and it's best they realise that soon. If SE or Moto takes leadership over time in europe, then it won't take long for Nokia to fall to 2nd. I am not sure about international handlings, I think Samsung is making major steps towards customers there too. I think new Nokias are great, but marketing wise they need to step down a bit and concentrate on selling decent handsets at decent prices with a NEW attitude to stay on top this time. __________________ Wow.... looks like this summer will be reeeeeeeeally hot, I mean the compation between SE and nokia is great, I'm not mentioning moto and samsung because I think they introduced everything they have( right? ) . I guess nokia is attracting people by there designs( which sucks till now) on the other hand SE is attracting people by features I can see it now.. the new nokia gsm 8xxx will have a great sale, nokia are excellent with their seires 8. Also these days I can see many young people going after features (mainly bluetooth, wav tones, big screens) ... most of my friends bought the 6600 which was aimed for bussness men. so my guess is any new series 60 will be a great sale too as these tend to have most features. The most important thing i'm looking forward to in eldars review is the new commi, 8xxx and the new nokia desgns which always suprises us :P __________________ .............. Mavi forum
