Motorola has announced the A3100 which is believed to be the official replacement for the not so great A1200 (or the other Mings). This time powered by Windows Mobile 6.1 instead of Linux OS. The futuristic A3100 seems to draw its looks from the AURA (or just that their design team needs a originality refresh).

The iPhone effect is still here. After its Prada series LG now has the latest full touchscreen device “Cookie” aka KP500 on the block. The Cookie commercial currently onAir tries to sell it much on the lines of the iPhone, displaying its touch capabilities and advanced gaming. Incidentally Apple is pitching the iPod touch and the iPhone as a gaming device; something that competes with the Sony PSP.

Though this won’t be in line with the 5800 and N97, this one is a regular slider with a touchscreen. So now Nokia would have a complete Touch device, a Touch with QWERTY, and a touch with a keypad. The 6208 classic is actually a Symbian Series 40 made to work with a touchscreen. Best of luck Nokia …

Expected to come in first half of 2009, this is a 3.5″ Touchscreen with a QWERTY - Looks like a addition to the communicator series. More details as it comes…
From the image we can make out some obvious things, the display is a slide up and rolls over the Qwerty. Also the 5 way navigational joystick is on the left now. The front looks is much like the Sony Ericsson Xperia.

Nokia today announced the 5800 touchscreen in India along with their music service Ovi. The much awaited touchscreen from Nokia comes as a competition to the iPhone. The pricing is what excited us the most; Rs 21839 only! While the iPhone is backed by the popular iTunes and the Appstore; Nokia still banks majorly on the Symbian OS and mass market approach.
Ovi is the name for Nokia’s “umbrella concept” Internet services. Centered on ovi.com, it will market as “personal dashboard” where users can share photos with friends, buy music and access third-party services like Yahoo’s Flickr photo site.

A1200 and ROKR were disappointing for me, and nothing matches up to the class of the good old A760. But something that looks a little promising to me is this new Krave ZN4. Though ZN5 was no touchscreen, this one is more on the lines of the A series.
Zn4 features 130MB internal memory with MicroSDHC slot, 2MP camera with video recording, 3G, GPS, Voice recorder, Bluetooth with Stereo and more.
The most catching point of the ZN4 is the flip, even when closed, the interactive clear flip provides fast, one-touch access to the camera, picture gallery, live TV, music, VZ Navigator, and viewing of pictures and text messages so it’s easy to access your favorite features. With the flip open, you can access the full range of menu options.

Imagine a PenPhone, not too difficult to visualize? Then consider a Pen Phone with a touchscreen, Still easy? Then imagine a Pen phone with a rollable touch screen! If this concept phone that we are looking at is to be believed, it would even feature a camera and off course it works as a normal pen as well. Also on offer is a mini bluetooth headset to make the phone part of the ‘concept’ easier.
More images downstairs
So do you mind speaking on a ‘ball pen’?

Tech2 Reports that the Nokia Tube can be seen in action in the Batman Movie The Dark Knight! Tube is a Touch concept that Nokia is working on. It is expected to run a Symbian Touch UI. Though we are yet to see a great TouchScreen from Nokia, we keep living on hopes… (
see the Tube demo video)
Update: Now that we have seen the movie, we have some more on the Nokia Tube.
If you plan to watch the movie, your would be able to see the tube very closely. Its smaller than the iPhone 1st gen and looks much more handy. We believe the interface would have been CG (computer generated) and not real. But the phone has a iPhone (or Windows Mobile) style sleep button the top right. Tempting isn’t it?
