Nokia Eco Sensor Phone

nokia-eco-sensor-phone
Nokia have come up with some interesting concept ideas over the last few years. With “green” being the subject being discussed by many, a number of electronics creators are pushing this theme in to their creations. The Nokia Eco Sensor Phone is one such phone which Nokia want to have that green theme. The concept is that the phone comes with a separate wearable sensor unit which monitors the environment, your health and reports the weather. These features are optional and you can use the ones which suit you.

How is the Nokia Eco Sensor Phone Green?

This is the question I was asking at first. With this phone having environmental sensors built in to the wrist strap it can transmit information back to the phone via NFC (near field communication) and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification). Information about the environment is displayed on the screen which makes you more aware of the pollution around you. If you constantly see high levels of carbon monoxide, ozone problems and such, then you are more likely to take action to reduce these outputs in your own life. This part of the Eco friendly phone seems more psychological. Luckily the green theme doesn’t stop there. This phone will be built on what is called the three Rs. That means reduce, reuse and recycle.

Small Nokia 5200

small_nokia_5200
The Nokia 5200 series mobile phone isn’t that new. But, with this thing being so tiny I thought I would post to show you all. It is about the size of the end of your thumb, but unfortunately is not a working mobile phone. I had flashbacks of Zoolander while writing this.

Nokia CA 100 USB Charger

nokia-ca-100-usb-charger
This handy gadget allows you to charge your Nokia phone via USB. Although there are plenty of power sources around, the ability to connect and power your phone via USB has advantages. To get it to work you just need to have the 2mm power plug on the phone and this cable as well as a spare USB port which could be on a laptop, computer or a cigar lighter in your car.

25 Years of Nokia Phones

Nokia Phones
Above is an interesting picture which shows 25 years history of Nokia creating mobile phones. It starts off with the huge case type phone back in the analogue days and then moves through the years. It is interesting to see how phones have progressed and had more features packed in while continuing to shrink down in size. How many of these phones have you had? I have had a fair few Nokia’s.

Nokia N95 Nokmote

N95 Accelerometer
The Nokia N95 has a built in accelerometer. To make use of this, a company in France has created some software called Nokmote which allows you to control the N95 by tilting it left, right, up or down. To skip through menu’s you just flick it to the left or right and then push the phone quickly away from you to select the item. The software is not just for menu’s though. It also allows you to play games, browse through photo albums and control the media player. With the video being in French I have no clue what was actually said, but do check out the game when attached to the screen as the N95 can be used like a Wii Controller which is cool.

What I would like to see (if it’s not already there) is certain shakes and twists quick launching applications. Such as a tilt right to create a new SMS and a twist right to open up your address book etc…

The software will be available in December at Bysamir.

Nokia N82 Comparison

nokia-n82-compares-with-n95
The N82 from Nokia has some fairly impressive specs such as a 5 mega pixel camera with Xenon flash. Connectivity is plentiful too with HSDPA, Wi-fi, Bluetooth A2DP and GPS. The phone compares to the N95 in specs but is not a dual slider (or single slider) and has a keypad on the front face. We are expecting to see an official announcement about the phone in December.

Nokia N96 a Possibility?

n96_concept
Rumours have been floating around about a new phone from Nokia numbered the N96. This beauty packs in 10GB of internal memory (I assume similar to how the 8GB N95 is), has a 3.2 inch colour screen, wifi, Bluetooth 2.0 and a full QWERTY keyboard. The camera steps up a notch to 6 mega pixels and GPS navigation is included. Motion sensors are also to be found inside.

However, this is just rumour as Nokia have not confirmed this yet. The specs listed seem fairly standard so it could be a strong possibility that an N series (N96) is on it’s way to us sometime next year.

Nokia Mobile Phone Collection

Nokia Mobile Phone Collection
I thought I had a fair few mobile phones because I have never thrown any away after using them. I started off with a Nokia 7110 back in 1999 and have kept each phone each year I upgraded. This guy takes mobile phone collections to the extreme though with a reported collection of 101 phones in 2005. I do not know how many phones he actually has, but I can tell its way more then the 7 or so I have.
