The Problem with Nokia… July 18th, 2010
Nokia may be still dominating cell phone markets all around the world, but the steady decline in its smartphone market share could threaten the company’s long-term standing… The problem is that Nokia can’t bring innovative high-end products to market in a timely fashion…
Much of Nokia’s strong growth came in an era during which hardware innovation on its own could secure high margins, and more importantly, when hardware and software were considered independent… The premium-handheld-device business now is about which device can run software applications most smoothly — a matter of hardware-software integration… Nokia has not been able to make the transition….
While Nokia continues to say that N-97 has been a success, it has seen very low sales compared with the millions of devices that Apple and RIM are selling… Even Nokia E-series devices are not getting the volume of sales that the iPhone and BlackBerry phones are getting…
Nokia appears to still dominate the low end of the cell phone market… Its strength over the past several years has been in selling high volumes of low-cost devices to developing markets… While volumes are still high, there are indications that trouble is on the horizon…
Nokia needs to stop trying to spend itself into something it’s not… It’s time to push the high-end software and applications innovation work into partners’ hands… That does not mean giving up on innovation altogether: it means focusing its engineering and design expertise on getting partners’ consumer innovations into a device that gets to market quickly, efficiently, at cost and at scale…
Natural partners are large and small software firms that want their best apps on lots of mobile phones as fast as possible — from gaming companies like Activision to enterprise software companies like SAP…
If Nokia could become the partner of choice for mobile software innovators, its high-end business could become a profitable way to deploy the capacities that make Nokia undisputed leader in the mass market…

The Future of Mobile Communications : Nokia Morph!!! April 1st, 2010
Take a step back from normal life just for 5 minutes and have a look at what Nokia and the University of Cambridge have been working on – Nokia Morph, nanotechnology for mobile phones…
This amazing new technology has limitless possibilities, not just within mobil ephones but technology in general especially when it comes to price and convenience.
Morph is a nano technologies based phone. Thanks to these technologies, it will have specific capacities that you can watch in the video upper in the article. It could then expend itself to become a keyboard, or shrink to use as a cell phone. You can even wear it like a watch around your wrist.
When will it be available? I have no idea, but I can say that it looks for sure as what the next generation of cell phone will look like.

Nokia Meamo and Intel Moblin merge to bring MeeGo!!! February 15th, 2010
At the Mobile World Congress, Nokia and Intel announced the MeeGo platform, a merge of Maemo and Moblin… MeeGo will be rolled out on Media phones, Netbooks, Pocketables/Handhelds, In-car entertainment systems as well as Connected TVs…
Meego is an open source platform which apparently will ‘accelerate industry innovation and time to market for a wealth of new internet-based applications and services.’ The software is expected to be released in the second quarter of this year and products are slated to emerge in the second half, according to both companies…
Can’t wait for its launch…

Symbian goes FOSS!!! February 4th, 2010
Symbian 3 (the successor of previous Symbian versions, S60, S40 and others), the new version of Symbian OS, will mark the change of Symbian from being a closed OS platform to become an Open Source platform where anyone can download and modify it for free… The source code is published under the Eclipse Public License (EPL)…
We’re a community, not a company, owned by members not any one entity. — Symbian
I think the move comes seeing the increase in the popularity of likes of Android OS from Google and the iPhone OS from Apple who had slowly started stealing the limelight from Symbian…
But I seriously think Symbian is way late to gain back its popularity here… Should have released its code long time ago..

The Nokia E63!!! December 3rd, 2009
Bought the Nokia E63 for my birthday!!! 
Nokia E63 is the next QWERTY messenger by Nokia, set on the glorious path of the E71. Only this time it slips off the high heels to walk it in plain straight and simple boots instead… 
Would like to share my opinion of the phone…

Setting Up Web based Applications on Nokia Series 40 Mobiles!!! March 15th, 2009
I use the net a lot. I am so addicted to it that i try and stay connected to the net all the time. These days i have found one more addiction and thats Twitter. It’s a micro blogging site where millions spend time just editing a single line(”what you are currently doing?”) in 140 characters or less. I try and tweet whenever i can, from home, college or even when out with friends. Twitter being so popular has many J2ME clients that are for cellphones. Not only twitter but there are many applications for mobile made on the platform of J2ME that use GPRS to access the mobile web.
I have a Nokia 7310 supernova, it uses the Nokia Series 40 user interface. The problem with this is that many applications that try and access the net get a error “java.io.IOException: Error in HTTP operation”. The problem is not with our code nor the Nokia handset problem. The problem is with the GPRS.
Proxy settings for NOP for S40v3, S40v5 phones as we all know, Nokia doesn’t allow one to specify a proxy for an Access Point in Series 40 v2 and v3 and v5 phones (6131, 6133, 3110c, 5300, 5200, 5310, 6500, 6070, 6020, 7310) etc.
Nokia has removed the ability to specify a proxy server associated with an access point. Therefore, those who use JAVA programs that require internet access (such as Opera Mini, Google Maps,GTalk, Orkut, Twitter…) can not get it to work and they get “java.io.IOException: Error in HTTP operation” when trying to access the web via application.
The solution to this is :
Download Nokia S40 proxy settings for JAVA applications ZIP file.
link is : http://www.box.net/shared/s1cd0vp329
Description of included files:NokiaJAVAProxy.wml: The wml file that you can edit if you need/want different proxy settings.
NokiaJAVAProxy.prov: The actual binary wbxml provisioning file that should be sent to your phone (via bluetooth or usb). This can NOT be manually edited.
Process To Follow…
1: Push the “NokiaJAVAProxy.prov” file to your mobile using Bluetooth or infrared(Only for 40S series but u can send through any mobile which is having Bluetooth or infrared). Option only do not copy paste to your phone (”object push”, not file transfer). If your are unable to do it, just transfer it to any bluetooth or infrared supported mobile and send that file via bluetooth or infrared to your mobile.
2: The phone will recognize the configuration settings, and will prompt you to save them. Don’t worry if it says “no supported applications” We have to Click ok. The setting is saved in your configuration..
3: Go to Settings->Configuration->Default Config. Settings, and change the default config to [the name of the configuration we just loaded].That’s it! JAVA midlets like Opera Mini, Google Maps, MGMaps, etc… should work now.
