Nokia 5530 xpressMusic - Nokia Bloggo

The news of the acquisition of Dopplr by Nokia is rather recent, perhaps part of strategy that has been adopted by Nokia recently, that of integrating other social network companies into their own social network project.

For those that haven’t heard of the network, Dopplr is a social network based on travelling and for those who want to share their travel destinations with friends, scheduling their trip and leaving the task of updating the routes to the service, in case of integration with Facebook, for example.

With this move, Nokia adds yet another social network company to their own project list.

Nokia wishes for people to interact with their N900 cellphone, and in order to accomplish that, has created a contest: the PUSH N900 project, that was launched in the past few days in order to allow users to get acquainted with the Maemo platform featured on the new smartphone.

Those who want to take part on the contest and create something new should send a brief to Nokia, explaining what exactly they intend to change on the N900 in order to make it closer to personal preferences. The winners will get a N900, besides technical and financial support to put their own projects to life. The winning project will also be featured on the Nokia flagship stores worldwide.

The contest will be held until October 11th and the winners will be announced on October 25th.

And after a brief vacation, we’re back with more Nokia news. Today we present a hands-on for the new Nokia 6700 Black, announced back in January. This cellphone presents itself as a mix of style and elegance, very easy to use and easy to carry as well due to its small size.

The device also presents a 5 Megapixel photocamera with Auto Focus, LED Flash, auto-shoot and full screen view. The 2.2″ TFT QVGA display has the resolution of 320×240 pixels and support to 262.000 colors. But enough smalltalk, we’ll leave you to the video now. Enjoy!
