The third device to be announced today was the C6, a Symbian touch device with a 3.2″ screen, a slideout full QWERTY keyboard, a 5MP AF camera and the best part of its announcement was the 220 Euro price tag. Add to this the free Ovi Maps navigation with the built in A-GPS, and it becomes a pretty impressive feature set for the price.

The C6 is expected to be available in the second quarter of 2010 and I see Nokia selling these by the truck loads.

The Nokia E5 is the latest Eseries device from Nokia, following the footsteps of the E72 and the E63. Similar form factor, email centric, yet made for entertainment as well.

The design language on the E5 is a lot like the new Cseries devices. It features a new homescreen, a 5 MP camera and is expected to retain at EUR 180, before taxes and subsidies.

Nokia has just announced the C3, the first Series 40 QWERTY device that is ‘designed to put better messaging and social networking tools in the hands of more people around the world’.

The key message is Nokia’s announcement today was affordability, so they expect to sell these by the truckloads. Expect the C3 in golden white, slate grey and hot pink once Q2 is here, EUR 90, before taxes and subsidies.

If you look at the chart above, under the user experience tab, Display Orientation is mentioned and this is clear indication that portrait mode is being worked upon in MeeGo. All the other core …

The events.nokia.com page is counting down to – Everyone Connect. What it signifies is anyone’s guess, but what is certain is that the mystery will be revealed just hours from now. Its been ages since Nokia has announced a device and as much as all of us would want to see them do just that, I have a feeling this one will be services focussed, messaging specifically.
