Nokia teases 'everyone connect,' keep your hands to yourselves until then

No idea what this is but the Twitterverse has an inkling that we'll see Ovi Maps integrated with Nokia Messaging. Jury's still out on hardware like, say, the N8-00 -- though as the rumored flagship S^3 device we'd expect its reveal to be a bit more formal than a countdown.

[Cynical Hippie Posted Apr 12th 2010 8:04AM]

If it's an announcement like Free Ovi Maps or something, or DRM free comes with music, I am happy as a fat girl with cake

[Cynical Hippie Posted Apr 12th 2010 8:06AM]

@Cynical Hippie
It could be that Nokia money finally being available for countries besides India

[brrip Posted Apr 12th 2010 8:28AM]

@Cynical Hippie i'd rather be the fat girl with the N8-00.

IWANTMESOMEOFTHAT!

[John Stracke Posted Apr 12th 2010 9:39AM]

@brrip : "i'd rather be the fat girl with the N8-00" -- Mmm, Shards O'Glass Cake!

[liquidmonkey Posted Apr 12th 2010 9:51AM]

@Cynical Hippie

lets hope they finally announce OVI MAPS for all symbian devices!
my GF was given a SE SATIO from her work and we can't get OVI MAPS on it :( major bummer :(

[Goc Posted Apr 12th 2010 10:15AM]

@liquidmonkey
That's simply not going to happen, ever. That is an extra service to make people choose Nokia's Symbian phones over SE's and Samsung's. It would be like having Nokia Messaging on those, unlikely at least and rather impossible.

[mkr10001 Posted Apr 12th 2010 10:51AM]

@liquidmonkey thats probably due to the fact that Sony Ericsson ISNT Nokia.


hence a nokia application isnt released for another make of phone


brain malfunction?

[GeceBekcisi Posted Apr 12th 2010 11:51AM]

I think an affordable messaging device (probably previously leaked Nokia Mystique, the one with QWERTY keyboard) will be announced. Check http://forum2.mobile-review.com/showpost.php?p=854824&postcount=17862 For proof, set your system time to 13.04.2010 / 10:00 GMT and check the site, you'll see the same.

There's still time for Nokia Vasco (N8-00) and I'm waiting for it too.

[ashleythehottiest Posted Apr 12th 2010 8:06AM]

Cant wait.....:/

[nutbunnies Posted Apr 12th 2010 8:07AM]

Yawn. Nokia needs to start evolving soon. Symbian and their phones are dinosaurs.

[franchg Posted Apr 12th 2010 8:21AM]

@nutbunnies As an N900 owner I respectfully disagree. Maemo is already a top notch platform and new Symbian version is coming this month. And on the hardware side high end Nokia are just fine.

[corduroy Posted Apr 12th 2010 9:37AM]

@franchg
I thought S^3 was more of a rehash/simplification of S60v5 (ie. S^1 v5) and that S^4 was the totally redone (ie QT) Symbian OS.

I don't understand why Nokia is pushing S^3 with S^4 supposed to be coming out on phones in 6-9 months from now (I would be extremely surprised if Nokia uprgraded the OS on S^3 phones when S^4 is released)

[newone Posted Apr 12th 2010 10:34AM]

@corduroy

I doubt S^4 will be ready 6-9 months from the S^3. More like 12-24 months as it is still unspecced and pretty much in the air.

[kuruptedbhoy Posted Apr 12th 2010 2:07PM]

@franchg
Hardware side are okay? Hmm..I bought the 5800 xpresmusic. Plastic all over. Outdated OS. Creaks n squeaks.

Then i bought the 'flagship' (dont know whether to cry or laugh) n97. Still poor OS. Keyboard buttons have little tactile feedback with spacebar key at far right on keyboard. Lens protector actually scratches the lens when you move it (search google).

I'v always been a dedicated nokia fan but not anymore. Moving to android or apple. Still cant make my mind up. Either way, both are better than symbian and nokias recent offerings

[christexaport Posted Apr 13th 2010 2:25AM]

@newone
well that's exactly Symbian's plan. New version every six months. New productized version of the OS three months after each OS release.

[Newwales Posted Apr 12th 2010 8:19AM]

Please Please be a viewing of the first nokia running Symbian^3

[franchg Posted Apr 12th 2010 8:20AM]

@grapeDrank Maybe in the US. We can care less to Palm since it hasn't released any phone in the rest of the world.

[franchg Posted Apr 12th 2010 8:33AM]

@grapeDrank Fine. Extend the anxiety for Palm to the whole North America. :)

[good grief Posted Apr 12th 2010 8:38AM]

@franchg

The pre owners in the UK, Spain, Ireland, Germany and Mexico surely appreciate your concern frenchg!

FYI, if you "can care less" it means that you do care.

[beefiron Posted Apr 12th 2010 8:50AM]

@franchg
I'm in Ireland and O2 has the Pre. Tough to buy knowing that there's a Pre Plus ready to be launched, probably the day after I upgrade, but it is here.

[franchg Posted Apr 12th 2010 8:50AM]

@good grief point taken. I really didn't know Palm sold also outside US.
Feel free to downrank me.

[ReadyKilowatt Posted Apr 12th 2010 8:35AM]

Ovi app for the iPad?

[ounkeo Posted Apr 12th 2010 8:43AM]

@(Unverified)

Not sure but is the Apple equivilent cloud services free? If not, Ovi would be freaking nice on an Ipad seeing as how it's integrated services and it's completely free.

[brrip Posted Apr 12th 2010 8:45AM]

@(Unverified) May as well be Nokia Messaging for the Blackberry

[Cynical Hippie Posted Apr 12th 2010 9:04AM]

@brrip Nokia has a BB equivalent. It's called Ovi Talk

[Goc Posted Apr 12th 2010 9:17AM]

@Cynical Hippie
No... It's called Nokia Messaging.

[brrip Posted Apr 12th 2010 10:08AM]

@Goc i know. i meant the app store is far superior to ovi, so ovi going to iphone is useless as giving ovi messaging to blackberry. i should really start using sarcasm tags :S

[Goc Posted Apr 12th 2010 8:19PM]

@brrip
I know exactly what you meant, my comment wasn't directed at you. Read it again.

[christexaport Posted Apr 13th 2010 2:28AM]

@Goc
no, that's the email. He's talking about an exclusive IM client. Ovi has that, and it isn't always bundled in with NM.

[Sor1 Posted Apr 12th 2010 9:07AM]

Nokia buys Palm, Nokia penetrates successfully the US market, Apple start patent sues all over the place. Me enjoys the whole show.

Here is some wishful thinking but i don't think this will ever happen. Oh well..

[Goc Posted Apr 12th 2010 9:42AM]

@Sor1
I highly doubt Apple would wish to go against Nokia's and Palm's patents. Though it might go after smaller companies.

[Nino Posted Apr 12th 2010 9:55AM]

Nokia to announce acquisition of Palm = Jobs Jezz in his pants

[JFH Posted Apr 12th 2010 11:41AM]

@Nino

Would be fun.

[JFH Posted Apr 12th 2010 11:35AM]

@creepin

Good find!

[JFH Posted Apr 12th 2010 11:41AM]

I think its Ovi Maps & Twitter integration in Nokia Messaging, and possibly the incoporation location based services as checking in & mayoring.

[look a cow Posted Apr 12th 2010 11:53AM]

Maybe they'll show of some new phones that are coming out soon.

New maemo/meego phone and the new nokia n8-00

[vRUN Posted Apr 12th 2010 11:54AM]

Just got this invite via dhl

http://www.fonearena.com/blog/2010/04/12/what-will-nokia-announce-on-april-13th.html

something to do with nokia messaing

[Waroxy Posted Apr 12th 2010 1:39PM]

That timer remind me Macbook Pro tomorrow.

[yauchildchew Posted Apr 12th 2010 6:22PM]

it has to be the S^3 or Nokia will be lagging sooooooooooooo behind.

[frippi Posted Apr 12th 2010 9:37PM]

If you set your system time you can see following message:

Please stay with us. We'll be unveiling Nokia's new messaging solution shortly.
