Nokia prepping a GPS-capable sibling for the 770?

Yeah, we're still waiting for a WiMax-based, thumb board-sporting 770 successor, but until Nokia makes all of our wildest dreams come true in that fashion, it looks like they've got a cute little brother on the way to keep us occupied in the interim. About all we've got to go on so far is this fuzzy camphone pic, but the device purportedly rocks the SiRF Star III GPS chipset, along with a bit of audio and video codec support for entertainment purposes. In truth, the device bears much more of a resemblance to HP's latest iPAQ, the rx5900 Travel Companion, than the 770 line, but hopefully Nokia squeezed in some Linux and WiFi love to make it worth the effort. If it all proves to be legit, we could be seeing this little GPS unit by Christmas, so start saving that indeterminate amount of pennies!

Very cool !! TM

The Rumor Mill (Nokia Eseries)

The rumor has been that the next 3 Nokia Eseries models from the Enterprise Solutions Group will be ...

E61i is slimmer version of E61 with camera.

E65 is clone of N80 (with one camera).

E90 is next Communicator with two cameras and GPS.


Mobile Review's 'badger' who usually is pretty darned well clued in says ...

>> Confirmed.

These devices feature HSDPA 3.6 and WLAN. The slider looks more like a 6280 than an n80, it also includes advanced voip and conference call controls. The communicator is kinda like a revo and has a double armed hinge, cam for VT is internal. s60 inside and out, no TS Touch screen). large but very powerful device.

Expect leaked images before to long, they will soon arrive with the mobile operators for testing. I believe the plan is to ship a matter of weeks after the announcement... <<

Is this device ...



... pictured in this recent presentation (pages 7 and 10) beside an ultra-thin phone

... the new Psion Revo like device with "a double armed hinge," the long awaited Communicator replacement?

Way back when I almost bought a Revo. Opted instead for a Palm IIIc cable connected to a QUALCOMM QCP860 instead instead. Replaced that IIIc with a Palm V, then owned 2 Kyocera Palm based smartphones -- son and grandson of PDQ.
