Nokia looks back on its history, admires what it sees


Turn your portable telephony nostalgia up to 11 and join us on a journey down Nokia memory lane. Nokia Conversations have filmed a collection of 100 phones charting the progression through the last 20 years of the Finnish manufacturer's history. Sadly, this Nokia retrospective doesn't stretch so far back as to include galoshes and bike tires, but you can still spend an inordinate amount of time trying to identify handsets just from their profile. We advise caution: this video features some seriously happy people, and our diligent research has failed to determine a cause for this dysfunction. Faux warnings out of the way, read on for the full video.

Nokia E65 spotted dressed in purple and pink


And we were thinking the Nokia E65 would find its niche in the business segment, with all that UMTS and WiFi goodness on board. Regular folks need that daily wireless-everything fix too, so Nokia decided to dress up the proper E65 into something more casual, as in pink and purple shells. Word is that these two beauties will be landing somewhere in Europe soon, but no info on where or how much a color premium these two will carry once they're in the wild for real.

Nokia to start selling WiMAX phones in 2008?

With Sprint's 4G commitment to WiMAX and the support of handset vendors Motorola and Samsung, Nokia wants a piece of the action, too. After all, the world's largest handset manufacturer needs to... well, remain the world's largest. Anyhoo, those Finns have said that it intends to sell "mobile devices using WiMAX Internet technology" as early as 2008. Do we see a heated battle between Nokia and Motorola on the WiMAX handset front next year? Sprint's announcement of a national 4G WiMAX network should be producing fruit by then, we think, so the more manufacturers want to get in on the action (Samsung included), the merrier.
