It’s not just us who love all things Nokia as there is a wealth of information out there to be had and get involved in. Users the world over are getting exciting every day, in every way about their Nok.

We’ve brought the best stories from the last 24 hours together in one handy breakfast-bar sized piece we like to call Back From The Blog….

Nokia 5730 XpressMusic

What’s that we hear you ask, another new device? Sure, looks like one but this has yet to be unannounced but still gets the full handson treatment from the guys at Mobile Review. Thanks to the Symbian Guru for the tip-off, who says of the device ‘This bad boy looks a lot like the E75, which is also as yet unannounced, but features a 3.2-megapixel camera with autofocus and single LED’. Get the skinny on the music machine here.

The History of Nokia

Ever wondered about where all the great Noks came from and how Nokia just keep getting better with each device? Well, over at Nokia Conversations, James has been taking a look at the history of Nokia, the landmark phones and technology break-throughs. Go get yourself a slice of history here.

Designing interfaces for the mass market

What takes a great looking phone and turns it into an amazing device? Surely it’s the interface and over at All about Symbian they’ve been discussing what it takes for a UI to have true ‘mass market’ appeal and the challenges ahead for those involved. For our part, standardised core features and modular plug-ins would be a great way forward, but see what the guys come up with over here.

Video encoding for your 5800

The guys over at the Nokia Guide have been getting excited about video ever since they got their hands on the Nokia 5800. Naturally, the bigger screen makes for a better video experience, so they’ve been looking at the emergence of Nvidia/Elemental Technology’s Badaboom and ATI’s AVIVO, both of which will play a major role in the next-gen of Nok handsets.
