The Killer ThinKlones << FWIW, I think that LG is going to have a giant hit on its hands with the Chocolate phone. >> Oh, yeah. I agree. Kooler than the V3 RAZR (now that everyone has one and the Coll-factor has faded somewhat), IMO. LG Chocolate KG800 Reviews techdigest.tv crave.cnet.co.uk The KG800 Competitor: The Samsung E900 tinyurl.com << It looks like form over function is still going strong.... >> This isn't about tech, this is about design -- and just like the mega-popular V3 it's not what's on the inside that counts, it's how cool it looks. Yes. Nokia definitely needs to 'lighten up' and think thinner ... which I'm sure they will, but I prefer Nokia's function over form approach, and it sure hasn't hurt their share comeback. I personally think that the new Nokia 6131 (6126 in US) which just started shipping is going to very successful in the unsubsidized €275 retail range which will put it up against the KG800 and E900. mobileguerilla.com This isn't an iconic design but I think that Nokia is finally getting clamshell design about right. and there is a darned nice feature set and functionality for the 6131 price point. Best, - Eric -

Tuesday for the New Nokia Internet Tablet Launch? >> Nokia to offer Google Talk on Web tablet [Sources] San Francisco Reuters May 12, 2006 9:04pm ET tinyurl.com Nokia, the world's top mobile phone maker, will unveil on Tuesday a new version of its Internet tablet device that runs Google Talk communications software, sources familiar with the plans said on Friday. The pact between the Finnish company and Web search leader Google Inc. would offer consumers the ability to chat with other users of instant messaging software via the Nokia Wi-Fi device, which relies on short-range wireless networks. The Nokia 770 Internet Tablet, introduced last year, offers wireless access to digital music and video playing on a high-contrast color screen, as well as to check e-mail, surf the Web and read computer documents or play video games. At a press conference to be held in Stockholm on Tuesday, Espoo, Finland-based Nokia will introduce a new version of the Internet Tablet with upgraded software and hardware elements, one source said. Nokia's 770 is available worldwide via its Web site. The 770 is a rectangular, 5.5-inch by 3.1-inch device with a big color screen that is slightly bigger than a mobile phone. It has a retail list price of around $400 in the United States. In contrast to phones, the Nokia 770 relies on unregulated local wireless connections rather than cell phone networks. Google Talk, which allows users to chat via text or to talk with other instant message users, will be one of the featured applications on the Nokia Internet Tablet, a second source confirmed. The Wall Street Journal first reported the news. The deal with Nokia marks the Mountain View, California-based Google's latest move beyond computers and into the mobile communications market. Earlier this year it announced a plan with Nokia's biggest rival, Motorola Inc. to feature Google search software on Motorola phones. Google rivals Yahoo Inc. and Microsoft Corp. are also pushing to have their services featured on handsets. Yahoo is offered on several Nokia phone models. << - Eric -
