“Ovi Chat” Articles

Yesterday I received an email with the news that Nokia has announced that the updated Ovi Chat powered by Yahoo! service has been released. You can now invite your Yahoo! Messenger friends and Ovi Chat friends into your friend list, giving you access to an even larger community for chatting. Hit the jump to find out more.

Earlier this year, Nokia announced its collaboration with Yahoo! and that together they aim to offer compelling Internet experiences. As part of this alliance, Yahoo! would become the exclusive, global provider of Nokia’s Ovi Mail and Ovi Chat services branded as “Ovi Mail / Ovi Chat powered by Yahoo!” Well, over the last six months there has been substantial progress with this venture, and Nokia has today announced that Ovi Mail / Ovi Chat will now be powered by Yahoo! Hit the jump to find out more.

Rounding off the trio in todays announcement, we see the first addition to the Nokia Eseries range that incorporates the new naming convention. The Nokia E5 is designed for those that want to be productive in both their professional and personal lives, the Symbian S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 based Nokia E5, follows the successful blueprint of devices such as the Nokia E72 and Nokia E63. The Nokia E5 combines high quality business features with all of the personal networking and entertainment capabilities that a busy professional expects from a smartphone. At £160 before taxes and subsidies, the Nokia E5 is expected to be available in Q3 2010.

The second device unveiled today was the Nokia C6, a Symbian S60 5th Edition smartphone combining the benefits of a 3.2 inch touch screen with a full slide out keyboard. The large screen provides a great Internet experience, as well as offering access to Facebook feeds directly on the homescreen. A full suite of email and social networking capabilities means that the Nokia C6 is perfect for people who want to stay up to date while on the go. At £195 before taxes and subsidies, the Nokia C6 can not only be your social hub, but also provide you with complete voice guided navigation whilst on the go straight out of the box.

The mystery Everyone Connect countdown finally ended today and the curtains were drawn back revealing three new Nokia devices. First up is the Nokia C3, which is the first Symbian S40 6th Edition device to sport a full QWERTY keypad. This cute little candybar is also the first in the range to enable access to social networks directly from the homescreen. You can view, comment, update your status and even share pictures to your favorite social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. At an estimated price of £80, before taxes and subsidies, the Nokia C3 is definitely going to shake things up by setting a high standard for such low costs.
