Nokia 1661 is a petite candybar gadget that is loaded with a built-in FM radio and flashlight. It is supported by a dual band GSM (900/1800MHz). Nokia 1662, on the other hand, basically has similar features, only, it comes with a dual-band GSM (850/1900MHz) support.

N-Gage: One has finally been released by Nokia Games Publishing. ONE is a 3D-animation of combats that presents various fighting techniques. The game offers an ultimate multiplayer experience via Bluetooth wherein gaming with an opponent is possible. Through this, players could share and compare their scores right in the fighting arena.

ONE is the very first motion-captured-animation game in the cell phone industry. This, of course, is made possible through the fighting skills of a Scottish martial arts expert named Tommy Carruthers. His more than 30 years martial arts was captured and digitalized by Digital Legends Entertainment (DLE) and –voila! – N-Gage: One was born.

To give credit to, Digital Legends Entertainment (DLE) is the best international video game developer in Barcelona.

The Nokia N85 has undergone and passed the FCC testing. The proudly FCC-approved Nokia model prides itself with a tri-band UMTS (850/1900/2100MHz) support for AT&T’s 3G network as well as European 3G networks backed up by a Quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900MHz) support.

It is reported to be available very soon, with pricing previously announced at EUR450 (US$665) before taxes and subsidies.

Nokia has just announced its latest model called Nokia 2228. Considered to be yet another CDMA mobile phone, Nokia 2228 is a candybar gadget carrying a 1.3 megapixel camera that is just great for moment-capture. Moreover, 2228 is also loaded with a speaker-free voice dialing. It also includes a LED light indicator that blinks in order to alert user of any incoming calls, missed calls, or recieved messages.

The 2228 is set to be available in Q4 2008, though pricing details are not currently available.

Besides the reports that Nokia’s sales decreased, the mobile phone manufacturer is about to lose yet another case. After agreeing to a settlement months ago, Nokia is said to pay Qualcomm over $2.3 billion as a result of the lawsuit filed by the latter against the former.

The lawsuit began after Nokia used Qualcomm’s chipsets in their 3G devices without Qualcomm’s official go-signal. But over the second quarter of the year, Nokia and Qualcomm entered into a 15-year agreement premitting Nokia to use Qualcomm’s chips after undergoing the necessary licensing procedure.

For the case, Qualcomm is demanding for the settlement in lump sum.
