Nokia Erdos luxury OLED slider tipped for October [Video]

By Chris Davies on Monday, Sep 14th 2009 No Comments

Nokia’s high-end 8800-series handsets have been in need of a new poster-model for some time, and according to the latest leaks that might just be the new Erdos. The Nokia Erdos is a compact slider with a 2.4-inch 320 x 240 OLED display, 3G WCDMA, WiFi, A-GPS and a 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss autofocus optics and dual LED flash.

However what makes the S60 Erdos special is that all of that is packed into a compact, stainless steel casing that’s apparently carved from a single block of metal. The OLED display is covered by a mirror-finish glass panel that’s only transparent when the display is active.

Nokia Mural Also Announced for AT&T

Nokia Mural

It looks like Nokia hasn’t forgotten the low-end phones, despite being a little preoccupied. Which is a good thing for all those families looking for a new, simple phone for cheap. While there’s nothing wrong with a simple flip-phone, this thing looks a bit dated, and also resembles a few of the late Motorola W-series models. But, we’re sure that doesn’t matter to the general consensus. After all, it’s a phone, it functions perfectly well enough. Who needs more?

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Sep 2nd 2009 No Comments

Nokia may have only just officially announced the full details of their Booklet 3G netbook, but SlashGear had the opportunity to go hands-on with the ultraportable at a pre-Nokia-World event. In the metal, the Booklet 3G certainly deserves its premium positioning: the metal chassis feels as slick as a MacBook Pro, while there are also hints of Apple’s notebook range in the glossy glass display.
