Nokia E72 Available now
Finally after long time Nokia E 72 is Launched. The E72 comes with a QWERTY, has an upgraded 5 megapixel camera and 3.5mm headphone jack. It also loaded with Nokia Ovi Maps for A-GPS navigation and Nokia Messaging for push email. Well, if you’re an E71 user then visually not much has changed. The keypad has been rearranged (and looking at it, I’d say the rearrangement is logical and should make it easier to use), while on the back you’ll notice a 5 megapixel camera as opposed to 3.2 megapixel cam on the E71 (all the better to TwitPic with!). Also new is the inclusion of a standard 3.5mm audio jack as opposed to the 2.5mm oddity that was present on the E71.
The Nokia E72 also comes with Nokia’s push consumer email service, Nokia Messaging, and now for the first time people can set up instant messaging (IM) directly from the homescreen, accessing communities such as Windows Live(TM) Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk and Ovi Chat. Just like chatting via the desktop, people can respond to friends and colleagues across multiple communities in real-time.
Nokia 5330 Mobile TV Edition launched

Nokia N97 firmware 20.0 Released
Nokia released a major firmware update for the N97 Symbian smartphone. Bringing substantial improvements to user experience and some new applications, firmware version 20.0.019 is already available for download from the company website. The main change introduced by the new firmware is the system-wide kinetic scrolling. According to Nokia the handset should now have improved memory and battery performance as well as image and video stability.
In addition to improving the user experience, the new firmware should reassure customers (both existing and potential) that Nokia N97 shortcomings aren’t forgotten by the company. With the reception of N900 so universally positive and the S60 struggling to match the competition, shifting the effort in another direction (cough!) wasn’t completely unthinkable.
