Nokia launches 3 phones for the CDMAA standard

HELSINKI (Reuters) – The world’s largest mobile phone maker Nokia launched three new CDMA phones on Wednesday and said it remained committed to the standard, which has long been overshadowed by the more global GSM.

The Nokia 1506 is expected to go on sale in China at the end of 2009, while the Nokia 6316s and the Nokia 3806 are expected to hit the market in the first quarter of 2010, the Finnish company said.

CDMA, or code division multiple access, is popular in certain markets such as the U.S. and South Korea. It had 500 million subscribers at the end of June, according to the CDMA Development Group (www.cdg.org).

GSM, or Global System for Mobile Communications, is the more global standard, with around 3.45 billion subscribers at the end of the second quarter, according to the GSM Association (www.gsmworld.com ).

Nokia reemplaza 14 millones de cargadores

El mayor fabricante de móviles del mundo ha anunciado que su proveedor chino BYD cubrirá el coste de los cargadores defectuosos, por los que ha pagado cerca de un dólar.

 

Nokia tendrá que reemplazar nada menos que 14 millones de cargadores que podrían generar descargas eléctricas a los usuarios.

Sin embargo será el proveedor chino de la compañía, BYD, quien corra con los gastos de los cargadores, por los que Nokia suele pagar cerca de un dólar. Ante la noticia las acciones de la compañía cayeron un 2,3% hasta los 9,04 euros.

Tres son los modelos de cargadores, fabricados entre abril y octubre, afectados, los AC-3E, AC-3U y AC-4U. Nokia ha pedido a los usuarios afectados que busquen rápidamente un nuevo cargador.

El fabricante BYD Electronic se ha convertido en un proveedor cada vez más importante para Nokia en los últimos años gracias a su amplia oferta de componentes y servicios de fabricación.

Los cargadores defectuosos no se vendieron en Argentina, Australia, Brasil, Chile, China ni Nueva Zelanda.

Stromschlaggefahr bei Nokia-Ladegerät festgestellt!

Der Handyhersteller Nokia hatte bei der Qualitätskontrolle einen Mangel festgestellt und bietet einen kostenlosen Austausch weltweit für die verkauften Handy-Ladegeräte an. Der Fehler besteht darin, dass die Kunststoff-Abdeckung der betroffenen Ladegeräte sich lösen könne und somit die Komponenten dahinter freiliegen. Wenn der Verbraucher diese Teile berührt, wenn das Ladegerät in der Steckdose steckt, kann es zu einem Stromschlag kommen. Betroffen sind ca. 200.000 Geräte. Kunden können ihr Ladegerät kostenlos austauschen und sollten vom Kunden ab sofort nicht mehr benutzt werden.
In Deutschland betrifft es die Geräte vom Typ AC-3E, die zwischen dem 15. Juni 2009 und dem 9. August 2009 produziert wurden. Die Typenbezeichnung befindet sich auf der Rückseite des Ladegerätes auf dem Aufkleber. Über das Austauschprogramm informiert Nokia im Internet http://chargerexchange.nokia.com/chargerexchange/de/ und unter der kostenlosen Hotline 0800/66 44 93 9 (täglich 9 bis 18 Uhr).

Test de GPS y Ovi Maps en Nokia N900, N97 y 5800

Los Nokia N900, Nokia N97 y Nokia 5800 XpressMusic son tres de los dispositivos más populares de la empresa finlandesa y si estabáis pensando en comprar alguno de ellos seguramente querráis saber cómo funciona el GPS. Para eso sirve este vídeo (lamentablemente en inglés) que encontramos en Nokia Users donde prueban el GPS y Ovi Maps en estos touchscreen de Nokia.

Hay que tener en cuenta que mientras el N97 y 5800 corren con Symbian S60 5th Edition, el N900 tiene Maemo 5 y se trata de una unidad de prueba así que este no será el software final.

Smart Phones Kill the Earth

Smart phones are killing the earth. It’s true. Read on true believers, and I’ll tell you how and what you can do to save the planet.

I remember the old days when only the ‘really important’ people had Blackberry’s and Treo’s. Then, all of a sudden, smart phones passed the magic tipping point (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipping_point_(sociology) where everyone had one. Now, anyone without a smart phone is one of the uncool minority.

The old phones would last forever on a single battery charge. I remember my old Nokia that came free with a two-year contract could go as long as two weeks on a mix of standby and talk time. Right now I have a Blackberry Pearl that lasts about 2 days at the most. The online specs peg it at “up to 15 days” on standby and “up to 4 hours” on talk time (http://na.blackberry.com/eng/devices/blackberrypearl8100/pearl_specifications.jsp).

In comparison, the Ipod advertises similar specs (http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html).

An article on the new Motorola Droid handset in the Nov 16 Business Week (www.businessweek.com/go/techmaven) says the battery life “seems decent- good enough to get you through a long day.” Are you kidding me? A one day charge on the phone!

Now, think about how smart phones are impacting the energy needs and consumption in the world. If you are charging your telephone every day, and x number of people are doing this, that’s a lot of power draining out. Like most corporations who kiss *** to gain public favor, the phone manufacturers are big on going green. Meanwhile they create more powerful phones that play more apps, use more power, and increase energy consumption. Apple is among the worst offenders. They pulled out of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce because of a disagreement over environmental policy.

I’d like to poll many of the most influential, radical, tree-hugging, dope-smoking, earth hippies out there and see what type of phones are the most common. Are they power-guzzling smart phones or old school phones that are a little more earth-friendly?

What kind of phones do Barack Obama, Nancy ‘cap-and-trade’ Pelosi, and Harry Reid use? Or better yet, to get a definitive answer, what kind of phone does Al Gore have?

Nokia CLIPit | Here by 2010

Near Future as in 2010; thankfully the designers are not dating it like 2050 or 2200 for this concept! Anyways we are talking about the Persian Delight: Nokia CLIPit Concept Mobile Phone. Brushed steel and Persian turquoise stone encrusted, this phone proposes a bevy of features like finger print as your SIM, Touch pad-Dot matrix screen, hands free clip on design, and a combo of Philips Lumalive and conceptual “Smart fabrics” to blend out a 12”screen!

Design features of Nokia CLIPit:

• Finger print as your SIM.
• CLIPit has all the cell phone’s data web based and you can reach not only by CLIPit but from multiple devices like other cell phones, disposable cell phones, your car kit, your home phone and so on. The key is your finger print.
• On top of the CLIPit you have a steel touch screen made by a group of small Light Emitting Diodes installed in the steel touch pad. So you have dynamic buttons and can dial, send and receive SMS and navigate your music easily.
• You don’t need to hold the phone in your hand or use any other device like Bluetooth hands free. When you have a call, just pull down the clip and CLIPit becomes a hands free.
• The ear phones of CLIPit have two sockets. You can hang your CLIPit around your neck with them when listening to the music. Like a beautiful necklace made by turquoise and steel.
• The way to connect with other devices for CLIPit is to Clip it to them. You can clip it to so many things to have connection with them. For example back panel of public bus seats.
• You can clip the phone to any part of your clothes or your bag. You can hang it around your neck with its earphones. You can wear it like a Bluetooth hands free. And also it is enough small to put it in your pocket.
• PHILIPS has developed a new technology called “Lumalive”. They have fabricated some kind of cloth that has internal OLEDs and is quite a color fabric screen. The design team used a developed form of that technology in the CLIPit and has two fabric screens. The 3- inch screen is just a formable, flexible cloth that has a “Lumalive” screen as the upper layer. You can clip your CLIPit to this 3-inch screen and have a mobile phone with a 3-inch color screen. It is quite BIG for a mobile phone. But the 12-inch screen is a combination of “Lumalive” and a concept fabric called “Smart fabrics”. “Smart fabrics” are cloths with a net of sensors between its layers for touch sense. The net is cut able and the fabric can be cut or sewed. In fact smart fabrics are touching sensitive cloths. This fabric is combined with “Lumalive” and to become a multi-touch color screen. Clip your CLIPit to it and you have a folding pocket 12-inch laptop.
• The 12inch touch screen is also a medium for CLIPits to share their data with each other. Quite easy. Quite funny.
