SAMSUNG F480

The Samsung F480 seems to be a pretty popular handset, and Samsung has decided to make hay while the sun shines by offering yet another version of the F480 known as La Fleur ("the flower" if you don't speak French). Apart from the external cosmetic changes, everything else within remains the same. If your girlfriend have been pestering you (or rather, dropping hints) for a new cell phone, what better way than to surprise her this Valentine's Day than with this lovey dovey Samsung F480 La Fleur? It will be out in Russia and several other European countries, with no word on pricing as at press time.

Nokia Locate Sensor debuts at CES

Nokia Locate Sensor debuts at CES

LAS VEGAS, USA - Nokia Research kept this one quiet - Nokia Locate Sensor can help you find lost keys, phones, bags, purses or anything you’re likely to need right before you rush out the door. Revealed at the Consumer Electronics Show, it’s currently a project kicking around the labs at the Nokia Research Centre, but it’s an interesting one.
First, quick explanation. The sensor is a tiny device, no bigger than a small thumb. It attaches to whatever you’d like to attach it to and communicates with your phone wirelessly (though we’re not totally certain how, just yet - there’s no official release so we only know what’s been reported so far). Drop whatever has the tag attached and your phone will alert you, via a software app that sits on your phone, and help you find the object, provided you’re within 100 meters of it (probably not good for speed boat jaunts then).
The system also works the other way around, so you could have the sensor on your person, and if you get separated from your device, an alarm will sound to let you know. Support for 100 individual sensors is provided by the app and each sensor has enough power to last 18 months before it runs out of juice.
This is all conceptual right now, albeit a working prototype rather than pie in the sky idea. Although I haven’t seen it in the flesh, I’m not sure if I like the idea or not. Something to help me find stuff before I rush out the door would be good - particularly for my wife - but I’m not sure if, practically, this would do the trick. It seems to have more in common with suddenly losing things, from what I can tell.
So, what do you think? Useful? Useless? Let us know in the comments below

Nokia 5800 NAM Back on Shelves at Nokia US Flagship Stores – Preorders in 1-2 Weeks

You are probably tired of hearing about the whole (especially if you are not North American), but hopefully this will be the end of it. The Nokia 5800 NAM is back with updated firmware v20 and returned to the sales floor at the US flagships. Those who pre-ordered online should be receiving theirs in 1-2 weeks.

We’re not sure when the v20 firmware will be available for those who currently have the Nokia 5800 NAM purchased from other stores. We’re also not sure whether the update will indeed fix the reported 3G issues

“We have concluded this was an isolated situation related to a configuration change in the North American variant. We have now adjusted the configuration and will resume sales shortly. Those few customers of the 5800 who experience a 3G signal issue are advised to contact Nokia Customer Care. We extend our sincere apologies for the inconvenience

Nokia BlackBerry killers hit the streets

Nokia has launched three new mobile phones designed to please both the IT department and the business and mobile email userThe E60, E61 and E70 are the first of the E-series and will be available in the first quarter of 2006. They run on Symbian operating systems and will work on GSM and 3G networks. They can also link to WLANs using Bluetooth and infrared. According to Nokia they are easy for IT departments to manage security settings, corporate apps and data.

The E61, which looks like a PDA, has a full keyboard and joystick and will support many email clients including BlackBerry Connect, Goodlink, Seven Mobile Mail and Visto Mobile. Visto said the phones: "will meet the needs of business end users and the IT professionals that support them."
