Nokia N97 mini review: Less is more

Nokia N97 mini review: Less is more

GSMArena team, 12 November 2009

The Nokia army of touchscreen smartphones gets larger by the hour and the Nokia N97 mini is surely one of the most interesting new recruits. The Finnish company has obviously reconsidered its priories and now focuses on optimization, rather than expansion with its flagships...


Nokia 6760 slide review: Compact messaging

Nokia 6760 slide review: Compact messaging

GSMArena team, 12 November 2009

One of a kind would be a massive overstatement but there's something about the Nokia 6760 slide that's clearly against the usual run of things. Full QWERTY keyboards are an increasingly common...

Sony Ericsson Satio review: Shooter by vocation

GSMArena team, 27 October 2009

Sony Ericsson have long ago shown that they are not afraid of any challenge, producing handsets that have claimed a top spot on the market. There are still plenty of fans from those good old days that would love to see another market-leading device thrown their way...


Nokia E55 review: Five by five

Nokia E55 review: Five by five

GSMArena team, 21 September 2009

Sometimes, a phone is nearly perfect, except for that one small thing you want to change. If you felt that way about Nokia E52, the E55 claims to have the answer. Don't get us wrong - the E52 has killer looks and specs. And the E55… well, like we told you, it's the same phone save for that one little thing.

Nokia 6710 Navigator review: Destination: Anywhere

GSMArena team, 18 August 2009

GPS is a must-have for every self-respecting phone these days. And it doesn’t even have to be a smartphone. From geotagging, through location-aware services and gaming, to full-featured in-car SatNav...


Nokia 5730 XpressMusic review: Full musical keyboard

Nokia 5730 XpressMusic review: Full musical keyboard

GSMArena team, 14 August 2009

No news is good news and the Nokia 5730 XpressMusic is quite keen to go about humming that tune like it didn’t care. Recruiting Symbian for an entertainment job is nothing new really and no, we’re not surprised...


Nokia E52 review: E as in Exceptional

Nokia E52 review: E as in Exceptional

GSMArena team, 11 August 2009

Eseries seem to have been around forever: grown-up, confident and reliable. It’s a small but solid lineup that’s gone a long way from a fairly late start. Perhaps they’ve got a point: the business Finns are not running against the clock to...


Nokia 6720 classic review: Up a notch

Nokia 6720 classic review: Up a notch

GSMArena team, 04 August 2009

Nokia 6720 classic ventures to send the 6220 classic into retirement. There’s a year’s gap between the two gadgets and a casual observer may as well conclude that a year is a mere eye-blink for...

Nokia 5630 XpressMusic review:  A sharp note

Nokia 5630 XpressMusic review: A sharp note

GSMArena team, 2 July 2009

The XpressMusic family has walked a long way – and shed a great deal of weight – since the 5700. The music-centric Finns have always felt at home on Symbian ground though, and the Nokia 5630 is the next step for...

Nokia N86 8MP review: Lens wide open

GSMArena team, 24 June 2009

You may’ve thought Nokia lost their touch, you may be out of love with the Nseries but the Nseries are always keeping an eye on you. Their wide-angle, variable aperture eye. On you. Whether the Nokia...

Nokia N97 review: Lock, stock and touch

Nokia N97 review: Lock, stock and touch

GSMArena team, 16 June 2009

They don’t get any bigger than that. A launch of this caliber can aptly be called inauguration day. The release of Nokia N97 is the N-series counter-move that geeks have been waiting for since November. Easily one of the most...

Nokia E75 review: Business on the slide

GSMArena team, 16 April 2009

If we can think of one reason to take being told "to mind your own business" with a smile it would be the Nokia E-series. A household name for enterprise users, it's hardly a surprise that each E-series update is greeted with plenty of excitement...

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic review: Young as you feel

GSMArena team, 14 January 2009

It's touchscreen o'clock for Nokia and the stage is set for the 5800 XpressMusic. Go ahead and touch it. We did and we've got a story to tell. Now, it's technically not the first time Nokia get their hands dirty with touch screens, but it sure feels they really mean business this time. For Nokia 5800 is not the only story here...


Nokia E63 review: E for Economy

Nokia E63 review: E for Economy

GSMArena team, 07 January 2009

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. And the matching price tag leaves little doubt of what this Working Joe here is all about...

Nokia N79 review: Swiss Army knife

GSMArena team, 20 November 2008

Nokia N96 review: King's new clothes

GSMArena team, 03 October 2008

Nokia 6220 classic review: Sharp-witted shooter

Nokia 6220 classic review: Sharp-witted shooter

GSMArena team, 18 September 2008

We can call the Nokia 6220 classic an attempt to regain some 5 megapixel ground. The compact smartphone carries some serious imaging power. Xenon flash, active lens cover, VGA video @ 30 fps and TV-out do sound exciting, don't they? It would've been all too easy...
