Vineet Taneja, Marketing Director, Nokia India said, “Today consumers are looking for solutions that give them flexibility to manage time in a way that they can juggle and balance both work and life. They are looking for ways to connect with their friends and peers while on the go which has led to proliferation of email on mobile. According to a research conducted byNokia , globally people are spending an average of five full days per year – equivalent to a full work week – responding to emails. Close to half of the consumers (46 percent) choose email over voice or text to send and receive important information.”

He further added, “With the latest Nokia E72, consumers will be able to accommodate multiple work and personal email accounts and, with separate profiles for work and play, which will allow people to be flexible when it comes to choosing how, when, where and who to respond to.”

The E72’s office capabilities have been updated with a new version of Quickoffice, which delivers Microsoft Office 2007 compatibility as well as free version upgrades when new features become available.

With Opera’s mobile browsers, things are quite simple: if you’re not happy with whatever browser came with your smartphone, you’d probably do well to try either Opera Mini or Opera Mobile. The difference between the two often confuses users: Opera Mini is Java-based and works on almost all phones, while Opera Mobile is aimed at specific smartphone platforms, namely Symbian and Windows Mobile.

Now, Opera Mobile 10 Beta is available for owners of Nokia’s smartphones and other Symbian S60 smartphones, and it’s essentially a more polished version of the recently released Opera Mini 5 Beta.

The slick interface includes the revamped speed dial, touch-friendly keyboard, and tabbed browsing. On the performance side – as always – the new version promises to be much speedier than the last one, with speedier zoom, 50% faster page downloading, and full support for Opera’s Turbo mode, which compresses web pages on Opera’s servers, making your browsing faster and monthly mobile data bill lower.

On October 7th, 2003, Nokia made a splash as it attempted to challenge Nintendo’s dominance of the handheld gaming market. Its entry was the N-Gage, a dual mobile phone and gaming system. However, the funny look it had when you used it as a phone (”taco phone” was a popular comparison), as well a weaker game library doomed it from the start.

Today, Nokia announced that it is ending the N-Gage line of phones and games, instead opting to push forward its gaming agenda via the Ovi app store.

The move was inevitable, especially as Apple has turned the iPhone into a gaming powerhouse, but we’re still going to miss making fun of Nokia’s Taco Phone. This is our farewell to the N-Gage, which had the right idea but the wrong execution.
