Nokia Illuvial Collection (in pink)

Can someone explain why there are so many gadgets colored in pink? Is it because women love the color pink? I guess so… So anyway, good news for lovers of pink gadgets, because Nokia has presented the Illuvial Colletion, which basically takes some Nokia models and adds a color + goodies.

The Nokia 5530, 6303, and 6700 were the chosen models for this collection, and besides getting the pink colors, they are also come with a leather case and strap. And there are even a few pink backgrounds for the cellphone included in the deal. The Illuvial Collection is already available on the UK and will become available on Europe in the following weeks.

Nokia 5230 Cell Phone Gets FCC Nod

Remember the Nokia5230 that was announced a few days ago? The phone was recently spotted over at the FCC - that’s right folks, the newest touchscreen phone from Nokia is set to flood the markets. I really wish Nokia stopped using numbers in their model numbers though - it’s just not easy to remember ‘em all. As seen over in that other post, the phone supports handwriting input along with touch, which is useful for quickly noting down information. I’ve never been fond of the touchscreen QWERTY keyboards (at least until now), so that’s one feature that would be mighty useful for me.

Bummer that the phone only has a 2 megapixel camera. But the screen is nice and large (3.2 inch), so that’s good. It’s on schedule for a Q4 2009 release.

T-Mobile Announces the Nokia 5130 XpressMusic

T-mobile has decided to pick up a new Nokia phone for its customers. Unfortunately for smartphone lovers, this particular handset will not suffice. The 5130 Xpress music is the newest addition to T-Mobile’s lineup and the phone is a music-oriented, entry-level device. T-Mobile will sell it for just $29.99 after a $20 mail-in rebate but you’d have to get a mandatory 2-year contract.

Besides the obvious music-related features like external controls and music player support, the 5130 will definitely not surprise you when it comes to specs. You’ll have a 2-megapixel camera to play with, stereo bluetooth microSD support and a choice of crazy color combo between black/red and pear white/aqua. So if the phone is not for you, we would definitely understand!

Vertu debuts Constellation Ayxta, its first flip phone

We got more than a blurry picture this time and a proper name too. The Constellation F we reported on a few days is actually the Ayxta, which will be the first clamshell from the Hampshire, UK-based Nokia subsidiary. The handset features two new services that might become regulars on future Vertu phones, the Concierge and Select City Brief services. The Concierge gives the elite customer a direct line to a customer care rep who can address any questions or demands that are put forward, with just a single button press; the Select City Brief, on the other hand, uses the onboard GPS (?) to automatically change time to the local timezone and get the lowdown on the happening places in the vicinity. Both these features are something we can live without and as for some real specs, the Constellation Ayxta features 3G support, a 3-megapixel camera with integrated flash, and microSD support for up to 8GB. Available in Europe starting at $7000 apiece, which is actually lesser than some of the other constellation handsets, but still high enough to boost a rich man’s ego.

Amazon offers Nokia E72 for $469

After whizzing through the FCC last July, it was only a matter of time before the NAM version of E-70"s successor made an appearance stateside. Amazon is now offering the Nokia E72 on a preorder and if you have been waiting for the device to pop up online, you can go ahead and order it for $469. There is still no word on the actual release date or if there is a benevolent carrier ready to pick it up, but with triband 850/1900/2100MHz 3G network support, which is the frequency AT&T’s 3G operates at, we wouldn’t be surprised if AT&T announced the device in the coming days. Other features of the E72 include a QWERTY keypad, a 5-megapixel autofocus camera with dual-LED flash, WiFi, GPS, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
