Nokia - Windows Mobile Smartphone

This week CTIA Wireless 2008 trade show takes place (April 1-3, Las Vegas), that is one of the most important events, when it comes to wireless industry in USA, and it is USA where Nokia smartphones have rather tiny market share (elsewhere being market leaders) so no wonder, that Nokia has picked, of all trade shows, exactly this one, to reveal their first Windows Mobile phone - Nokia 61wm:

Interestingly, unlike Sony Ericsson, Nokia has picked touch-screen-less version of Windows Mobile - so called "Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard" (formerly known as "Microsoft smartphone" platform) and unlike Sony Ericsson Nokia intends to continue to use their Symbain S60 operting system for their flagship smartphones, and Windows Mobile will be used only for enterprise oriented customers in U.S. American market.
We must admit however, that Nokia 61wm (pictured above) is a rather underpowerd phone but it is a very important first step. Nokia has been licensing from Microsoft various kinds of technologies, including DRM, Windows Media formats, wireless ActiveSync (push e-mail) and Microsoft and Nokia even signed a deal about Silverlight for Nokia's Symbian S60 phones... so time was ripe to conclude this good cooperation with final step: Nokia licensing Windows Mobile.
More details about Nokia-Microsoft deal will be announced tomorrow at CTIA by Robert Bach from Microsoft, who will be giving keynote on 9:00am local time.
Stay tuned for our coverage!

Talk about irony ... the joke is now on Nokia.
I'm keeping an open mind and considering moving on ... to WM 7 or Android, which is why I joined this forum. But I sure wish Nokia could have figured things out after truly pioneering/pushing forward smartphones! They really lost their way.

nokia could have atleast gone the android way...why MS of all the people...is it because the present chief was connected to MS?? hmm...makes one wonder! <one more post for me>

Newest Nokia WP7 leak.

Here is a little snippet from the article that you can find HERE
“Eldar Murtazin, the eternal Nokia antagonist, claims to have the inside scoop on Nokia’s current Windows Phone device plans while getting an early hands-on with a prototype. Besides demonstrating a natural extension of the Nokia naming strategy to accommodate the new Windows Phone devices, Eldar tells us that model W7 is built around an X7 hardware base while the new W8 handset is a variant of Nokia’s N8 cameraphone (conceptualized in the above pic). According to Eldar, all of Nokia’s WP prototypes are built upon Qualcomm chipsets per Microsoft’s requirement (and Nokia’s dismay). The W7 model is currently being used in-house for development purposes and will likely be the first to market, according to Eldar, with an 8 megapixel autofocus camera and flash.”
In the article you can see information about Dual core also, i mean if they dont put out dual core, they are gonna loose it.

I'm waiting for

let me know when it comes out.

windows 7 on nokia phones is a good thought! But I think they should also have android phones...

I bet enthusiasts will install Android on the WP7 phones once they are out

The touchscreen and 2.X-hype has killed a lot of other features in cellphones. What happened to the real xenon based flash? Today, only Nokia use them in their cellphones and i H-A-T-E slowbian.

Well kinda agree with you

just say, i love android more.

Nice phones though Look nicer than their Symbian devices

Nokia could well be the solution to embracing the average consumer to WP7!
Still have my 3310 to this very day and it works 100% as well (despite pretty hard abuse - dropped down a full flight of stairs, case broke but easily replaced back in the day with a massive variety of available aftermarket ones)

[Q] What do you think windows 8 consumer beta will look like?

an ideas just reply?

Well, I got the developer preview a while ago. It looks almost exactly like Windows 7 mobile. (The live tiles, etc, etc, etc...) The only issue I had with it was that on a touch device it was epic, but on a KB/M interface it SUCKED. You had to use all these weird hotkeys to get anywhere useful and alot of the windows hotkeys that have been around forever just didn't work. Hopefully the consumer preview will be more KB/M friendly. Having been a geek since the early Windows 3.x days I found that in an attempt to make the new OS less frustrating for computer newbies, they made it more frustrating for us old-timers that are used to the traditional Windows GUI.
I do, however, like the new "Blue Screen Of Death".

You can cut it to a classic theme that works more like win7 if that's what you want... Also, that's windows phone 7.

It'll probably be like Vista ie ignored by business.
10-12 years time you'll probably have companies still trying to work out how to buy computers that can take W7, just as we have companies only buying specific PCs because there are XP drivers still available for them.

It is really
Windows 7 phone OS with a desktop app, it's slow, clunky, has tons of errors, and is only good for tablets(in my opinion) go to dev.windows.com and download and try it yourself

We already know what it'll look like.
Bloody awful!

No need to wonder - here's a screenshot.

no start menu so i'm wondering how much time it will take to get used to that...

The only issue I had with it was that on a touch device it was epic, but on a KB/M interface it SUCKED.

Android KitKat ​
Google has just announced that the next version of Android will be called KitKat and not Key Lime Pie, as rumoured earlier. Also, the next Android version number is 4.4 not 5.0, indicating that KitKat is not going to be a huge jump but a smaller upgrade.
​
The search giant has also placed the KitKat Android version statue along with previous versions in the Mountain View. Android boss Sundar Pichai posted a photo of the same on his Twitter account today.
In this tweet and on his Google+ account, Pichai revealed that Android has now crossed 1 billion device activations. This is up from 900 million activations figure shared at Google I/O 2013 earlier this year.
“… All this Android innovation is driving tremendous ecosystem momentum and I’m excited to share that together we’ve now passed 1 Billion Android device activations. Huge thanks to the entire Android community from the hardware manufacturers, chip makers and carriers to the developers and content creators to all of you – our Android users around the world – for making this possible,” Sundar wrote on Google+.
Android KitKat
Let see how Sony give update to Android 4.4 KitKat

I don't think getting our mobile officially this version...

I thought Google would release 5.0 but they troll me xD I hope Sony will give the list of device's that are updating to 4.4 and hope there will be XL.

Stop dreaming guys.We're lucky if will get android 4.3 official.And since the development doesn't seems too bright,I'm considering selling my XL...I'll just wait for a little longer to see what's going on.Peace!
And about 5.0 troll,Android might run out of ideas...hope next version won't be 4.5,etc ...

This dream is a beautiful thing . I believe that it will get Android 4.3 and 4.4 on our Xperia L.

Android M is coming soon for Google Nexus 5 and Nexus 6
LG Nexus 5 was released back in 2014 with Android Kitkat and upgraded to Android Lollipop in last year November. It also updated to Android 5.1.1 earlier this year. Motorola Nexus 6 was released in 2014 with inbuilt Android Lollipop and later upgraded to Android 5.1.1. Recently Google released two developer previews of Android M for Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 devices. Many users who have knowledge in flashing installed these previews and enjoying Android M earlier than others. Till now, only two minor bugs have been reported and Google fixed in them in the second developer preview of Android M.
Nexus 5 users already found that Android M OS increases the battery standby time. So it seems that Google made significant improvements in Android M over Lollipop. According to latest reports, Android M will be released under version 5.2. The code name of the forthcoming Android OS will be revealed in the launch expected in September. So that Nexus 5 users may receive Android M update in October. Nexus 6 users may get this update in October through Factory images. Over the Air (OTA) rollout may begin in October and it may spread throughout the world in November.
This time Google may release Android M update to Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 devices quickly. Previously Nexus 5 got the Android Lollipop update with some delay than expected dates because of the presence of over heating and battery drain bugs. It seems that Android M doesn't have such type of serious bugs, so that there may be no delays in the rollout.
