Nokia: all your iPods are belong to us
It’s war! Nokia reckons its new N-series phones will outsell the iPod and pretty much everything else on the planet. They’re certainly nifty – here’s the 4Gb music phone, the N91:

Unfortunately it is bloody ugly. According to reports from people who saw it on the telly – it’s a bit of a brick.

If Apple have any sense, they’ll release the iPod phone ASAP. Maybe do a deal with Sony-Erikson. Not because this Nokia is a threat (I don’t think it is), but because it is the first of a range of products that will, eventually, be a threat.

Samsung have got a 4Gb MS smartphone coming out soonish too.

I’d buy one. A phone’s the perfect form factor for music, and it’s one less box to carry around.

Sorry, It’s currently a 3gb drive. Looks better than the nokia (and smaller by all accounts). Windows Mobile 2005 (WMP10).

(FWIW WMP10 is much, much better than WMP9 on the c500)

Is that firmware update out in English yet? And does it do owt?

The main thing is WMP10. Basically like WMP9 but you can fwd and rewind and it handles playlists. Oh, it’ll do MP3 ringtones too.
New one is “imminent” according to orange. I’ve done the french one and it took a while to sort. Remember when updating it will wipe *everything* (other than the storage card)

Duly noted, thanks. MP3 ringtones will be handy for my extensive ROCK! collection :-)
