Rumors Of A Nokia Linux Cellphone Are A Bit Of A Leap

A couple of sites have picked up on a Reuters story titled “Nokia (NYSE: NOK) eyes wider usage of Linux in cellphones”—I reckon this is a sub-editing mistake, since the article only loosely links Nokia mobile phones with the Linux operating system. There’s quotes from two Nokia people, but both appear to be about Nokia’s Linux-based Internet Tablet range rather than an expansion into mobile phones. A Nokia spokesperson told MocoNews: “At this point, Linux is only being used on the tablet (non-cellular) products, and Nokia has not announced any cellular products with the Linux-based platforms...Nokia also doesn’t comment on products it hasn’t announced yet.” That doesn’t mean Nokia will never have a Linux-based handset, but it’s likely to only produce them when there’s a demand rather than champion the OS.

Nokia to manufacture Linux-based phones?

According to the Finnish business newspaper Kauppalehti, Nokia's Chief Financial Officer said Nokia is considering manufacturing Linux-based mobile phones. The article quotes Rick Simonson, Nokia's Chief Financial Officer, as saying "we are definitely moving in the direction (of Linux-based phones)" at a seminar in Boston run by JP Morgan Chase. There was no further detail though, and apparently Simonson refused to be drawn on which kind of Linux would be used. Nokia already makes the Linux-based N800 and N810 internet tablets, which use Nokia's own version of Linux called Maemo, but current tablets have no telephony ability.

Nokia Launches New Digital Music Store in Sweden

Nokia to take on iTunes with Comes with Music service

Nokia is the latest company to take on Apple and the iTunes Store. The company has announced that Warner Music Group will make its diverse catalog available through Nokia Music Stores around the world as well as through “Comes With Music,” a “way for people to discover and enjoy music offered uniquely by Nokia.”

Nokia: Open Source Developers Should Play By Our Rules

"Nokia has been involved with open source for several years. Notably, it used Linux and several open source code libraries as the foundation of Maemo, the operating system for its line of Internet tablet devices. To be fair, Nokia has also contributed to a number of open source projects in return. But if Jaaski thinks that gives Nokia a right to dictate terms--sorry, to 'educate developers'--I think he's in for a rude awakening.

Nokia Unveils "World's Thinnest" QWERTY Smartphone

Barence writes "Nokia has revamped its E-series of business-oriented smartphones with two new models, including the "world's thinnest" QWERTY device. The GPS-enabled E71 is the slimmer successor to the Nokia E61, with a thickness of only 1cm. It's HSDPA-enabled, offers switchable home screens, and gives a claimed "two full days of heavy, heavy use". The E66, on the other hand, is a slide-phone with a conventional numerical keypad and a built-in accelerometer. At the same event, Nokia also gave a tantalising hint about its plans for an iPhone rival, with its senior vice president saying, "we will have touchscreen devices coming this year"."

Nokia Tries Apple's Tune with Fledgling Music Service

Some analysts are skeptical that Nokia's music service, Comes With Music, will help Nokia attract new customers for its mobile phones. James McQuivey, a principal analyst at Forrester Research says, "There won't be the same rush to buy Nokia phones" as there is for iPhones. Apple is expected to sell 10 million iPhones by year-end.

More evidence of the Nokia E71 handset emerges& on Flickr!

nokia-e71-flickr.jpgIt’s hard for mobile handset makers to keep anything secret nowadays, thanks to the profusion of websites and blogs eagerly reporting on spy shots and tech specs for upcoming handsets. Meanwhile, there are other, unwitting ways news of a brand new handset can leak out into the public domain.For example, the Cell Addict Blog has come across this photo on Flickr that, according to its Additional Information was taken with a Nokia E71. Click through to the More Properties page, and you see a bunch of technical data on the photo’s aperture, focal length and so on.Anyway, it proves that the E71 exists (although it’s been rumoured online for some time). We’ll have to wait and see what the handset itself is like when Nokia officially unveils it.

Nokia to Acquire and Open Source Symbian

zyzko writes "Nokia has placed an offer on Symbian stock — it currently owns a 48% share and intends to buy the other shareholders out, 91% of the stockholders have already agreed. The press has already labeled this as an countermeasure to fight Android. Nokia has also created Symbian foundation — it might mean more open Symbian." Symbian is "currently the world's dominant smartphone operating system (206 million phones shipped, 18.5 million in Q1 2008)," writes reader thaig, who points out coverage in the Economic Times.
