One of Nokia’s upcoming phone is the Nokia 5320 XpressMusic. Following on the heels of the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic, the Nokia 5320 however deviated from the original design of the Nokia 5310. First off, the Nokia 5320 is wee bit thicker and larger than its predecessor.

The Nokia 5320 XpressMusic is, I think, the first XpressMusic phone to feature HSDPA. Music lovers would just love that since HSDPA would provide them faster over the air downloads of their favorite music. The Nokia 5320 is not only made for music lovers but for gamers as well since it features dedicated music and N-gage gaming keys. This phone also features Nokia’s Say and Play, a voice controlled music player.

If the U9 is to Motorola, then the 6600 Fold is to Nokia. The Nokia 6600 Fold features the same hidden screen as the Motorola U9.

The Nokia 6600 Fold is slightly smaller and slimmer than the Motorola U9. This phone has a 2.13″ OLED screen that can display up to 16 million colors. I think that the Nokia 6600 Fold is the first non-Prism phone that sports an OLED screen. The OLED screen I’ve seen on the Nokia Prism phones delivers a high contrast display with vibrant colors so if you’re going to buy this phone, be sure that you have mobile wallpapers that are colorful.

Disappointing news reaches us that Nokia will not be updating the glorious-looking Nokia N93 any time soon. In fact, the marvellous twisty form-factor will not be used on any new Nokia phone until at least 2010. This is sad, as the N93 was genuinely innovative and really makes the phone stand out head and shoulders above its competition.

The N93 was one of the first N-Series phones, and really helped established the brand as cutting edge. With its mix of shapes that it could pull, you were never entirely sure whether it was a phone, a camcorder or a PDA, but that was part of its appeal.

Nokia has made certain attempts to encroach on Google’s territory over the past few months – or, rather, what it sees as Nokia territory. Take mobile advertising, for example. Nokia will ship over 35 million GPS-enabled mobile phones this year alone, each of which is capable of supporting location-based mobile advertising. This just happens to be fertile Google territory, as the search engine giant sees all forms of online advertising as its own, and location-based mobile advertising in particular is estimated to be worth billions in the near future.

Of all Nseries handsets that Nokia has issued over the years, the N90 / N92 / N93 / N93i have what is by far the most unique form factor. Is it a phone? Is it a messenger? Is it a digital camcorder? Yes, yes and yes. The camera quality, especially on the latter models, was incredible and arguably trumped even the 5 megapixel camera found on the N95 line of handsets.
