Nokia X2-01 QWERTY

Sigh. There's some gossip on the Internet of photos and specs for a Nokia X2-01, which is a lot like the Nokia C3, but it's obviously positioned even lower. Yes, we're as confused as the rest of you.

Anyway, the Nokia X2-01 is an S40 phone with a hardware QWERTY keyboard that is indeed very similar to the Nokia C3. It's 2G-only, with 2.44" QVGA landscape screen (not a touchscreen like the C3-01), microSD card slot, FM radio and Bluetooth.

The camera has grown to 3MP (C3 had a 2MP snapper) and yet there's no mention of Wi-Fi (which the C3 did have). The Nokia X2-01 has two dedicated keys - one for music and one for messaging.

Of course, those are rumored specs and the official specs might be different. But the C3 is already dirt cheap, how much cheaper can the X2-01 be with the Wi-Fi module taken out?

Anyway, we'll have to wait for the official specs to confirm all this info about the X2-01.

Samsung Galaxy Tab torn apart, costs 214.57 US dollars to build

iSuppli has tore down the Samsung P1000 Galaxy Tab and found 205.22 US dollars worth of components (around 147 euro) inside it and estimated assembling costs some extra 9.37 USD. That’s just over 30% cheaper than a 3G 16GB iPad, and much less than what it costs to the end user

Apparently the exact launch dates for the update in each region are still unknown, but if you happen to live in the Nordic region, Russia, Singapore, Indonesia or most of Africa you should already have access to the update. And the troubles Scandinavian users had with the Android market yesterday were caused by the Google servers and not by the update.

Rant: Nokia new naming convention is no less than a mess

Okay someone had to step up and say it – Nokia’s new naming convention is a total failure. And I’m not talking about some minor setback here – it’s a full-scale epic fail.

Now I’m not saying they did that on purpose – their intentions probably looked good on paper. Place a letter in front to indicate series affiliation and follow it by the number showing the device’s place in its own series pecking order. Great idea, right – keep it nice and simple?

HTC HD7 reveals a hidden microSD slot occupied by an 8GB card

I thought the only Windows Phone 7 device going to offer a microSD slot is the Samsung Focus. But there is a real possibility many of the currently announced WP7 smartphones sport an expansion slot, it just may be hidden.

As it turns out, the HTC HD7 has a sealed microSD slot right next to its SIM bed. And it’s not empty at all – there is an 8GB microSD card in it.
