Yet another countdown has started!
What can we expect this time? According to twitter it will be about Ovi Maps integration with Messaging. It also seems according to twitter that there will be NO announcement of any new devices. Shame! Well there is only 20 Hours to go so time will tell and thankfully not long to wait.
Update:
So what was it all about?
I think a few people will be disappointed by the lack of a Flagship device announcement or a Symbian 3 device.
What we got was 3 new devices from Nokia. The C6, C3 and E5. All have improved social network, IM intergration. And all at very affordable prices. Good news for the general consumer out there.
Bad news for the geek community that want so much more. Personally I think I will be getting the C6 and maybe the E5. One point to note about the E5 is that it supports superfast cat9 HSDPA - so here in Helsinki I would expect to achieve 5Mbps download and with its HSUPA support at least 1Mbps upload speeds. So in terms of data transfer it puts the device up there with the N900. Its a shame the C6 does not support it too.
Nokia C6 - most noted feature as pointed out by @GJCAG on twitter is the quad band 3G - expected Q2 2010
Nokia E5 - for me the most important is its lightningly quick data speeds supporting up to 10.2Mbps download and 2Mbps upload - expected Q3 2010
Nokia C3 - its going to be cheap so great news for emerging markets bringing an affordable qwerty keypad and good social networking/IM - expected Q2 2010

to be honest I never read them anyway. I prefer to be surprised by what I get. The most obvious difference on the X6 and 5800xm is they finally have kinetic scrolling throughout the entire OS. Something that I really found iritating. One more thing I noticed instantly is a Ovi sync icon in the aplications menu. It gives you the option to sync Calendar, Contacts and notes with Ovi online and schedule syncs. It also has a automatic sync feature if data changes. Pretty cool!!
