Nokia to focus on budget handsets

New feature phone OS and cheap Windows Phone devicesMobile phones News By John McCann Friday at 11:52 UTC | Tell us what you think [ 1 comments ]

Tweet Nokia going cheap and cheerful

Nokia is reportedly working on a new Linux-based operating system called Meltemi for its popular feature phones.

Smartphones may be all the rage in parts of the world such as Europe and the US, but feature phones still account for two thirds of global mobile sales and Nokia is the biggest manufacturer out there.

Nokia's more basic feature phones currently run its own Series 40 OS and there are now more than 1.5 billion Nokia handsets running this software worldwide.

Stop, hammer-temi

Industry sources have told Reuters that Nokia is working on a replacement for the Series 40 operating system, code-named Meltemi.

Meltemi will be built on a Linux-based software platform and is focussed on arriving on the more advanced feature phones, potentially bridging the gap between feature and smartphones.

Not so smart

Nokia stills lags behind in the smartphone arena and after dumping its own Symbian and MeeGo smartphone operating systems the Finnish firm has stuck its eggs firmly in the Windows Phone basket.

Nokia wants to take on the low-end smartphone market in 2012 stating: "We plan to introduce and bring to markets new and more affordable Nokia products with Windows Phone in 2012, such as the Nokia Lumia 610."

Could Nokia be onto a winner as it looks to strengthen its lucrative feature phone dominance with the new Meltemi software, while re-focussing its efforts on its smartphone range with an aim of nailing the budget end of the market?

Let us know if you think Nokia can turn it around, in the comment box below.

Nokia Lumia 800 battery issue fix imminent

Update will bring a number of improvementsMobile phones News By John McCann 13 hours ago | Tell us what you think [ 0 comments ]

Tweet Better late than never Nokia

For all you long suffering Nokia Lumia 800 owners out there, the end of the fast drain battery issue could be in sight, along with fixes for a number of other bugs as well.

The Lumia 800 was Nokia's first handset to sport the Windows Phone operating system after its huge deal with Microsoft. It certainly isn't a bad phone, as our Nokia Lumia 800 review found, but users have reported a number of bugs since its launch – with a lot focussing around the poor battery life.

MobileTechWorld has revealed that it's been testing the latest firmware upgrade for the Lumia 800, which addresses a number of issues including the fast battery drain.

But wait, there's more

Other creases which the update irons out include the lack of audio bass, auto-white balance issues with the camera app, hardware button backlight brightness and an improved diagnostics app.

The report suggests the new firmware provides even more fixes on top of the ones we've already listed, but did not disclose what the rest may be.

There is no hint as to when the firmware will be pushed out to consumers, so Lumia 800 owners hold tight and keep checking TechRadar for the latest.

Nokia 808 PureView announced by Nokia in conference with 41-megapixel camera sensor

Everybody is giving something new in their product like Samsung, Apple Iphone, LG, HTC, Now the Nokia comes with its first phone called Nokia 808 PureView is the first Nokia phone to have FullHD 1080p video recording with 4x lossless zoom. You can also opt for 720p video recording where you will get 6x lossless zoom.

It has a large 4-inch AMOLED screen that uses Nokia’s ClearBlack display that can display up to 16.7 million colours, with 640 x 360 resolution, 1.3 GHz single-core processor, 512MB of RAM, 16GB internal memory with microSD card slot, HDMI-out, Wi-Fi, DLNA, GPS, NFC and USB On-The-Go functionality.
stratospheric native resolution, full 1080p video can be shot while using a 4x crop mode, too! For stills, cropping can be done, too, giving the Pure View an equivalent of a 26-78mm lens thanks to the crop factor.

Here are some Basic and interesting Feature of Nokia 808 PureView

Lens: 8.02mm actual focal length lens (26mm film equivalent)
Elements: 5 aspherical elements (one is ED) in 1 group
Aperture: f2.4
Aspect Ratios: 4:3 at 38 megapixel and 16:9 34 megapixel is possible
Close focus: 15cm
Shutter: mechanical
In the latter mode, digital zoom is not available and low light performance is likely to be not very impressive, owing to the small size of the pixels on the sensor.

Sample Images
At 5 Megapixel , ISO 800 and aspect ration 4:3
ISO 114 - 5.3MP, 16:9
ISO 58 - 38.4MP, 4:3 note the extremely close focus distance

The phone has support for up to 48GB of memory using the external microSD card slot, and includes a Xenon flash and Carl Zeiss optics. The phone also offers HD video capabilities at 1080p, measures 124x60x14mm and weighs 169g with a battery.
