I told you about it back in April, and confirmed more details in May, and I’m pleased to let you know that Dell is now offering several high-end unbranded Nokia handsets, as well as a TON of accessories. Here’s the link showing it all, and the prices aren’t that bad, either.Highlights include the Nokia N80ie at $447, the E61i (which was only officially launched in the US a week ago) at $423, and a bevy of accessories, including the SU-8W Bluetooth keyboard and the Navkit for the N800. Head on over if you’ve got some room on your Dell Credit Card, and spend away.

This is huge, in my opinion. I’ve actually had a few conversations about it recently, mostly in regards to the struggling E-series division. Think hard about this Dell distribution deal. You can now get E61i’s through Dell. Why does that matter? Because this allows Nokia to position themselves within some of the largest corporations on the planet. For instance, Time Warner Cable Media Sales, of which I am an employee. We are a Dell-only shop. Servers, printers, laptops, desktops, the whole shebang. However, for Blackberries and cellphones, we’re not. And there’s a ton of things that our IT director hates about Blackberries. But now that he can switch us all to E61i’s instead of Blackberries? That’s HUGE. I would imagine that Dell’s got their sales people up to speed with this, particularly with B2B. It opens up a whole other market.

2007 06 13 Nokia opened up their first flagship concept shop in Israel (today is the grand opening). It is over 150 square meters big and costed half a million dollars to build. It has a futuristic design with lots of glass and the space is divided into 4 sections: HEAR, SEE, DO, PLAY. This is certainly a good move since there are already tons of Nokia fans there in Israel. Maybe Sony Ericsson will also open up a flagship store there for the SE fans. Pics are from here and there is also a clip there.

Nokia high-end multimedia smartphones are soaring in popularity. They’re helping to boost Nokia’s global dominance further, mobile sales figures from the first quarter of 2007 show.

The latest figures released by telecoms researcher Gartner show Nokia increasing its share of the worldwide mobile market to 35.7 per cent. That’s up from 33.9 per cent in the first quarter of 2006. Sales of its high-end multimedia mobiles drove this increase, Gartner reports. Some 8 million of Nokia’s 92 million phones sold in the period were multimedia smartphones.

Motorola maintained its second spot, although its market share slid back to 18.5 per cent from 20.3 per cent the year before. Samsung consolidated its third place with an unchanged 12.5 per cent share.

Sony Ericsson’s growing success with its Walkman and Cyber-shot ranges has seen its share increase to 8.4 per cent from 5.8 per cent a year previously. This has taken it up into fourth slot among mobile manufacturers.

Gartner’s first quarter mobile sales figures show a 14 per cent year-on-year increase in mobile sales. A total of 257.4 million mobile phones were sold during the quarter. Gartner reported strong demand from the Asia/Pacific region, particularly China and Japan.

1. Nokia 35.7% (33.9%) 91,974,100
2. Motorola 18.5% (20.3%) 47,547,700

It was only a few weeks ago when I was lamenting about the lack of smart syncing between the Nokia N95 phone and Mac desktop. Even though Nokia offers Nokia Music Manager, it is hardly a software you can recommend to people addicted to the iTunes’ easy music and photo syncing. It only syncs music, and it a bit difficult to work with, one of the reasons I have stopped using it after trying it out.

Nevertheless, a source of ours tells us that Nokia is about to release an upgrade to this software - the Nokia Media Manager - which will allow two-way syncing of not only music, but more importantly, photos. In other words, all the snaps you took on your Nokia N95 can now be simply synced with iPhoto. While I have not used the software so far, our source says it is a definite improvement over the previous version. The software, apparently will support most of the new N-Series phones.

HELSINKI (Reuters) - Britain’s Carphone Warehouse has started sales of a black fashion phone model from the world’s top cell phone maker Nokia (NOK1V.HE: Quote, Profile , Research) which has not yet been unveiled by the Finnish company.

The mobile retailer’s Internet sales site on Monday advertised the Nokia 8600 — similar to Nokia’s strong-selling top-of-the-range 8800 — and said it will come with a 2 megapixel camera, music player and FM radio, in a stainless steel casing.

The Web site said it was an exclusive offer and that deliveries would start next week.
