You will never know what you can find in the big flickr picture collection. Today talkaboutnseries.com has “accidentally” found a list of unannounced model, including the Nokia N85 we reported earlier on.


These are actually a good and clear leak, although there isn’t any description put together with the photos. The Nokia N79 looks like another 3G phone from Nokia, coms with a Carl Zeiss camera lens (the megapixel wording is too blur for us to determine). 2 flash LEDs will help you in low light photography, the camera lens is protected by a lens cover too.


The next leak is the familiar Nokia “tube”, the new S60 touch UI which is available in year 2009. It should be the first S60 touch UI phone from Nokia and will be featuring a wide screen with 16:9 ratio. It will support quad band network, come with built in bluetooth, GPS, WiFi, HSDPA/UTMS to give you a complete wireless package. The touch UI in this prototype do not support multitouch, but does have haptic feedback when you touch the screen.

This model is called Nokia 5800 XpressMedia according to flickr, you can also see a 3.2 megapixel camera at its back with auto focus capability. It will be on its way to Vodafone customer, probably for users in Europe.

Nokia Will Allow N-Gage Games License to Be Transferred

Just few days after AllAboutNGage revealed the current N-Gage policy, which only allows you to install the purchased game on single phone, Nokia has released an official statement that they will apply a fix to the current situation and eventually allows you to transfer your purchased license to other phones.
Here is the statement released

“We have noticed a number of media stories about N-Gage game transfers and wanted to clarify the issue. Due to copy protection, N-Gage games, like most mobile games, are linked to one device. As the value of content increases, a robust copy protection mechanism is essential as it makes it possible for the games industry to invest in N-Gage content.

We acknowledge our customers’ concerns and have been working on a solution that would allow people to transfer purchased N-Gage games to a new Nokia device. We are working with our Nokia Care Centers with an intermediate solution to enable the licensed transfers of games until a final solution is ready to be deployed.

We apologise for the confusion around this issue and look forward to delivering an appropriate solution to transfer purchased N-Gage games to new Nokia devices.”

Three New Concepts From Nokia

‘People First’, ‘Zero Waste Charger’, ‘Wear in, not out’ – no these are not titles of upcoming obscure Hollywood ventures but are the new concept phones from Nokia that would become a reality sometime in the near future. In the first ever Nokia ‘Design Event’ in its new studio in Central London, several concepts were unveiled. ‘People First’ could be dubbed a call log file. It keeps the records of all your communications by keeping a list of people you interact with based on your last communication with the said person.

The ‘Zero Waste Charger’ is all about power saving. The charger will be activated only after you push a button on the charger and it will automatically shut down after an hour when it is dictated to do so by a built-in timer. The ultimate goal of Nokia is to build a charger that would automatically interact with the mobile phone – turning on the charging process only when the phone needs power.

‘Wear in, not out’ is the most confusing concept from Nokia. It is not clear what Nokia means by the device exploring ‘how people could potentially upgrade their devices digitally rather than physically’. The release from Nokia says that this concept will give people an additional choice on how they use and update their mobile phones.
