Nokia has some pretty amazing smartphones set to launch this year. From the show-stealing Nokia N8 with its much-vaunted high definition skills and 12-megapixel camera to the budget QWERTY messenger that is the Nokia C3. Each one is tailored to a different user, no one-size-fits all here, thank you! Come and take a look at our most wanted upcoming Nokia Smartphones of 2010.
With so many handsets being launched it can be difficult to keep track of them all. Some, such as the Nokia N8 have grabbed the limelight a little more than others, but that's not all Nokia has lined up. Read on for our most wanted yet to be released Noks.
Wanted: Nokia N8
Launch Date: September
Desire rating: Five Stars
When the Nokia N8 was officially announced, it blew everyone away. Not only is it the first Nokia smartphone to use the brand new Symbian ^3 operating system, it's also the best Nokia cameraphone to date - boasting a full 12-megapixels, Carl Zeiss optics an a Xenon flash. It's looks ooze style, yet hint at a reassuring solidarity. On the N8 you'll be able to edit outstanding quality high definition video captured by the handset. Video looks great on its 3.5-inch screen. Built-in storage comes in at an incredible 16GB. Better still, future owners will be able to upgrade its capacity to 48GB with a micro SD card.
Wanted Nokia X2
Launch Date: TBC
Desire Rating: Three stars
India already has its hands on the Nokia X2, but it will soon be our turn to tap up its candybar charms. Weighing in at a mere 81g and just 13mm at its thickest point, we already know the svelte X2 will fit nicely in our jean pockets. The desirable back-to-basics styled handset features a 2.2-inch QVGA screen, Bluetooth, 5-megapixel camera and access to Facebook and of course, the Ovi Store. With a battery life offering up to 13.5 hours of talkative, over 26 hours of music playback and 25 days of standby we're looking forward to pitting against some heavy duty usage when it arrives here in the UK.
Wanted: Nokia E5
Launch Date: TBC
Desire Rating: Four stars
We've loved being able to tap out emails as fast you like on the Nokia E72. Soon to be replacing the E72 in the hearts and minds of mobile texters is the Nokia E5. When it arrives it'll arrive featuring a full QWERTY keypad ripe for fingering your email inbox, with one-click access to your messages and support for all the major webmail accounts sic as Windows Live, Gmail, Hotmail, Ovi Mail and more. Nok fans can also expect Bluetooth and a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash, Wi-Fi, 3G and HSDPA for quicker web access and download speeds as standard.
Nokia C6
Launch Date: TBC
Desire Rating: Three stars
If you liked the look of the Nokia N97 but want something a little more entry-level the Nokia C6 should satisfy any N97 lust. The C6 sports a 3.2-inch touchscreen, and like the N97 features a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. It's great for messaging. When it releases later this year it will have 200MB of internal memory and a microSD cad slot for up to 16GB of extra storage. Naturally there's full access to a range of Ovi services and apps to all your favourite social networking apps on this Symbian S60 device.
Wanted: Nokia C3
Launch Date: End of June
Desire Rating: Three stars
The smaller sibling of the upcoming C6. The Nokia C3 is the first Symbian S40 device to get styled with a QWERTY keyboard. It's a budget C-series device, but that hasn't stopped us wanting it. It packs in technology found in more high-end Nokia handsets such as W-Fi web browsing and a Communities client to instantly grab access to all your social networking applications. Look out for the C3 in Slate Grey, Golden White and Hot Pink outfits when it arrives in stores.
