London, UK — At Nokia World, the destination for people passionate about mobility, Nokia today announced a family of smartphones powered by the all new Symbian platform which brings significant enhancements in speed and ease of use.
Our new family of smartphones introduced today feature the all-new Symbian OS, rewritten to be faster, easier to use, more efficient and more developer friendly.
A smartphone for everyone. In addition to the Nokia N8, the new family of faster, more intuitive Symbian smartphones includes:. With Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync on board, the Nokia E7 provides direct, real-time and secure access to corporate email inboxes and other personal applications. T he first product in Nokia 's Communicator series , introduced in The phone was large and heavy g in comparison with its modern equivalent the Nokia E The operating system is GEOS 3.
Never mind the outrageous weight and mindbogglingly low specs 24MHz, plus 8MB memory for all apps, OS temporary files and user data!!! From Nokia's own press release of the day:. The Nokia Communicator provides a wide range of mobile communications services as well as personal organiser functions.
The product combines a GSM phone with applications like fax, e-mail, short messaging and Internet access. It also includes the most useful organizer functions; a calendar, an address book and a calculator. All of this is available in a sophisticated, pocket-sized unit. The launch of the Nokia Communicator at the CeBit trade fair last March caused a stir in the media, among potential customers as well as service and software companies all over the world.
This strong response shows that there is a wide need for this kind of integrated communications device. For the first time, unique voice and data functionality are available in a pocketable-sized unit Yes, yes, that's 'fax'. And 'short messaging' touted as a major feature. But remember this was and we were still six years from even the Nokia In practical terms, the form factor was unique, with the Communicator opening up to reveal a full and surprisingly useable qwerty keyboard, a full width display, dedicated application shortcut keys, and so on.
The biggest problem was that the was so thick, even allowing for the age. After all, when this was announced, the Psion Series 3c was ruling the PDA world, far thinner and lighter, yet with surprisingly similar form factor.
If Psion could do it, why not Nokia? Why not indeed, which is why the Nokia was brought out in , just over half the thickness and weight - and this is thought, by many, to be the first real mass market 'Communicator'. The result was the colour-screened Nokia , launched in and the first Communicator to be covered in any detail on All About Symbian or All About ER6, as it was then known - ER6 standing for Epoc Release 6, effectively the version of Symbian that the was based on.
This repurposing of an interface, regardless of the underlying OS, is a theme that Nokia came back to several times in the next decade, usually with unsuccessful results. The did OK though, with a tweaked sequel, the i following in , with more internal memory and basic Flash support in its web browser. The form factor continued resolutely, with the Nokia in being slightly smaller and lighter again, plus there was Wi-fi and even a camera. Although on the surface, this ran Series 80 still, in fact it was a reskinned version of a skunkworks Symbian project called Hildon.
A smaller and lighter version still, the Nokia , had all the same characteristics again, but is not always included in the Communicator pantheon by Nokia purists, somewhat unfairly.
The didn't have Wi-fi at first, which was a bit omission for a Communicator, which traditionally had the highest specifications Nokia could muster. A i added Wi-fi in due course, rectifying the situation. Email your email will not be published. Don't have an account? Sign Up. Forgot password? Already have an account? Login Sign Up 0.
