Nokia’s aeon “full surface screen” mobile concept

K Saleh — Mon, 09 Oct 2006 10:56:15 +0000

Nokia’s research and development team have kicked it up a gear with an attractive “aeon” concept phone showing up in the R&D section of the company’s website. The most prominent design feature of aeon is a touchscreen that stretches over the full surface area of the phone, similar to BenQ-Siemens’s Black box concept phone we saw recently. Currently mobile technology isn’t quite up to realizing this fantasy, but we’ll sleep better tonight knowing that at least one of the cellphone industry’s biggest names shares the same dream as we do — BenQ’s dream didn’t count, unfortunately.

10 Essential Nokia Facts

K Saleh — Mon, 28 Aug 2006 15:42:46 +0000

1) The ringtone “Nokia tune” is actually based on a 19th century guitar work named “Gran Vals” by Spanish musician Francisco Tárrega. The Nokia Tune was originally named “Grande Valse” on Nokia phones but was changed to “Nokia Tune” around 1998 when it became so well known that people referred to it as the “Nokia Tune.”

2) The world’s first commercial GSM call was made in 1991 in Helsinki over a Nokia-supplied network, by Prime Minister of Finland Harri Holkeri, using a Nokia phone.

3) Nokia is currently the world’s largest digital camera manufacturer, as the sales of its camera-equipped mobile phones have exceeded those of any conventional camera manufacturer.

4) The “Special” tone available to users of Nokia phones when receiving SMS (text messages) is actually Morse code for “SMS”. Similarly, the “Ascending” SMS tone is Morse code for “Connecting People,” Nokia’s slogan. The “Standard” SMS tone is Morse code for “M” (Message).

5) The Nokia corporate font (typeface) is the AgfaMonotype Nokia Sans font, originally designed by Eric Spiekermann. Previously in advertising and in its mobile phone User’s Guides Nokia mostly used the Agfa Rotis Sans font.

6) In Asia, the digit 4 never appears in any Nokia handset model number, because 4 is considered unlucky in many parts of Southeast/East Asia.

7) Nokia was listed as the 20th most admirable company worldwide in Fortune’s list of 2006 (1st in network communications, 4th non-US company).

8. Unlike other modern day handsets, Nokia phones do not automatically start the call timer when the call is connected, but start it when the call is initiated. (Except for Series 60 based handsets like the Nokia 6600)

9) Nokia is sometimes called aikon (Nokia backwards) by non-Nokia mobile phone users and by mobile software developers, because “aikon” is used in various SDK software packages, including Nokia’s own Symbian S60 SDK.

10) The name of the town of Nokia originated from the river which flowed through the town. The river itself, Nokianvirta, was named after the old Finnish word originally meaning sable, later pine marten. A species of this small, black-furred predatory animal was once found in the region, but it is now extinct.

Samsung X830, a realistic iPod Phone?

K Saleh — Fri, 25 Aug 2006 14:13:49 +0000

It seems that Samsung has taken it upon themselves to design their vision of the iPod phone. It’s a pitty that it looks so darn thick, but that’s not the case. At only 74 grams, its body size is 85 x 29 x 20 mm. Because of the long and narrow body, the display screen is 128 x 220 pixels. Other than music player, the phone also comes with bluetooth, USB 2.0, 64 polyphonic. It’ll be available in white and black, sport a 264k color screen, touch scroll wheel, and a 1.3mp cam. Some websites claimed that it will have 82mb internal memory, however O2 of the UK are advertising it to have 1GB of internal memory. It’ll be available November 2006.

K Saleh — Fri, 25 Aug 2006 01:15:44 +0000

Vertu, the high-priced exclusive range of Nokia, will offer soon a new
line of mobiles under the name Constellation. Up until now Vertu has prided themselves with the Diamond series which is the most expensive one. The classic Signature line has some cheaper mobiles – at least they are not covered with diamonds. The last of the Vertu product lines is the Ascent. It is also the most affordable one.

K610, now in White.

K Saleh — Mon, 07 Aug 2006 22:23:19 +0000

As usual, the colour variations release by mobile phones seem to be exclusive to certain carriers. The thing is, we doubt that somebody will switch networks just for the sake of a certain colour. Regardless, who are we to complain when we have more choice when it comes to being ‘unique’. The K610i is no available in White (besides red, black and grey) on ‘3′. Rush my lovely iPod fans. Rush!
