Nokia has sent out a media alert for the first day of Mobile World Congress. The company promises to announce “significant industry news”. A live stream of the announcement will be available on Monday. I for one will be watching this stream at www.nokia.com/mwc!

On Monday, February 27, the first day of Mobile World Congress, Nokia will host a press conference, where it will announce significant industry news. The press conference will be hosted by Stephen Elop, Nokia’s president and CEO.

Elop: Nokia no longer on a ‘burning platform’

| February 16, 2012 08:37 UTC | 1 comment | source

Nokia CEO Stephen Elop

Nokia CEO Stephen Elop

In an interview with South African BusinessDay, Nokia CEO Stephen Elop told that Nokia is no longer standing on a ‘burning platform’.

The term first appeared in February 2011, when Elop wrote an internal memo where he stated that Nokia was standing on the edge of a burning oil platform, and that the company needed to make some tough decisions. The final decision was to leave Symbian sinking and choose Microsoft’s Windows Phone as their primary smartphone OS.

Stephen Elop now thinks that this ‘burning platform’ era is over, and that Nokia is now facing a new era of growth.

Nokia Belle on the Nokia 500

Nokia Belle was released for a bunch of devices last week. However, the Nokia 500 didn’t get the update back then, but now a MyNokiaBlog tipster claims that the update is live for Nokia 500 owners.

The exact software version of this update is 111.20.59. The update can be installed via the Nokia Software Updater or Nokia Suite. As with every other update, it will take some time for the update to be available everywhere.

Edit: It’s official. Nokia Conversations just confirmed that the update is live.

Nokia 801 leaked – N8 successor, NFC, Nokia Belle

| February 6, 2012 17:45 UTC | 0 comments | source

Nokia 801

Nokia 801

SmartPhoneGeeks.in got hold of a render of what is claimed to be the Nokia 801. The Nokia 801 will be the successor to the Nokia N8, which is still the best cameraphone out there. The Nokia 801 will run Nokia Belle, and sport NFC and a 12-megapixel camera.

Here is what is currently rumored to come with the Nokia 801:

  • Runs Nokia Belle OS
  • 4-inches AMOLED ClearBlack Display
  • 640 x 360 pixels resolution
  • NFC
  • 1.4 GHz processor
  • 512MB RAM
  • 12MP camera with dual-LED flash
  • 1080P video recording

The device is also packed in the same polycarbonate shell as the Lumia 800/N9.

It will be interesting to see how Nokia will manage to fit the 12-megapixel sensor inside this. If this is really a successor to the N8, we need good optics. The render doesn’t show a thick design, so my guess is that the camera module will make a pretty big bump in the back of the device.

A rumor during the weekend suggested that this will be Nokia’s final device to sport Nokia Belle (or any future version of it).

Eldar Murtazin just “confirmed” on Twitter that the leaked render actually is the real deal. Could we see this announced at Mobile World Congress at the end of this month?
