Mobile phone maker Nokia has announced the launch of two new mobile phone devices.

The company has now launched Nokia 5320 and Nokia 5220.

Both of these phones are optimized for music playing capabilities.

These are part of their XpressMusic range.

Nokia added in a statement on these two new phones: “Both music devices are expected to begin shipping in the third quarter of 2008, with an expected retail price range of 160 Euros to 220 Euros, before taxes and subsidies.”

It’s official! The latest N810 WiMAX which was much spoken about on many blogs earlier last month has now been confirmed at the CTIA in Las Vegas! It currently remains unpriced, but we do know for a fact now that it will be running the latest updated OS: OS2008, which features enhanced e-mail client, support for Chinese character rendering in the browser and RSS feeds as well as “Seamless Software Update functionality” to boot. The best is, once OS2008 is available, current N810 / N800 users will get to upgrade to the latest OS for free!

Nokia N96 smartphone is based on the Symbian S60 3rd Edition operation system, with Feature Pack 2, this also has a DVB-H digital TV receiver and innovative kickstand for watching video on the handset’s beautiful 2.8″ QVGA display.

There are various connection options including quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900MHz) and dual-band WCDMA (900/2100MHz). It also has WiFi support for HSDPA for high speed data connections. It has 16GB of internal flash memory and a memory card slot with support for cards up to 16GB mean you’ll never run out of space for photos, music, and games.

One of the another enchanting feature about Nokia N96 is its built-in GPS that works with the new Nokia Maps 2.0, which come preloaded on the N96.

Here is a few photos from the latest mobile-review’s review

The N96 isn’t going to take up much more room in your pocket than the N95 — it’s marginally bigger and slightly heavier. You get a very slightly larger display on the N96, 2.8 inches versus 2.6″ on the N95, but it’s still a QVGA (240 x 320 pixels) 16 million colour-capable LCD TFT.

The N96’s “video centre” allows access to Internet videos and can play back a wide variety of standard file formats, including Flash. Shooting videos is still at VGA (640×480) 30fps, just as the N95, and the camera is still a five megapixel with Carl-Zeiss lens and built-in flash . The N96 now gives access to Live TV, where DVB-H broadcasts are available.

Nokia (NYSE: NOK) looks set to gain EMI’s repertoire to add to the Universal catalogue that will be part of its upcoming Comes With Music pre-bundled music initiative. EMI Finland MD Wemppa Koivumaki told a Helsinki press conference (via Reuters): ”We want to be part of it. I believe strongly that, when it launches we will be there, with a full offering.” Either that’s just local camaraderie with the Finnish handset maker or the label is set to do something innovative…

EMI showed those credentials last year, when, ahead of its takeover, it launched a DRM-free repertoire first with iTunes. Universal one-upped when it debuted its unlimited-access strategy with Nokia and, later, Omnifone, giving consumers unlimited free mobile tunes in return for an upfront payment from the handset maker, and the label remains Comes With Music’s only partner. But, just as EMI’s DRM move and Universal’s “celestial jukebox” play are not exclusive to either iTunes, Nokia or Omnifone,what’s really interesting here is EMI is signifying its emergence in to the jukebox-in-the-sky segment in a way that is unlikely to be limited to mobile. That could mean not just unlimited Robbie Williams on your cellphone - but also on your desktop.
