SMS Falas

Nokia has launched the Nokia N97, the world’s most advanced mobile that will transform the way people connect to the Internet and to each other. The N97 mobile phone carves a new space in the otherwise blurred realm between smartphone and laptop.

Designed for the needs of Internet-savvy consumers, the Nokia N97 combines a large 3.5″ touch display with a full QWERTY keyboard, providing an ‘always open’ window to favorite social networking sites and Internet destinations.

With integrated A-GPS sensors and an electronic compass, the Nokia N97 mobile computer intuitively understands where it is. The Nokia N97 makes it easy to update social networks automatically with real-time information, giving approved friends the ability to update their ’status’ and share their ’social location’ as well as related pictures or videos.

The N97 enters the fray stomaching 32GB of on-board storage, double that of any mobile device currently in existence, and can take up to another 16GB via microSD, enabling it to become a portable multi-media computer with 48GB in the pocket. The Nokia N97 also has a 5-Megapixel camera with high-quality Carl Zeiss optics, 16:9 and DVD quality video capture, and support for services like Share on Ovi for immediate sharing over HSDPA and WLAN.

Nokia E63 Features

Nokia E63 Features Nowadays, business phones are becoming quiet popular among masses. Nokia E-series mobile phones were specifically designed to help professionals in their businesses. The E- series mobile phones by Nokia offer mobility to professionals by providing them required features.

So far, Nokia has launched 3 mobile phones under its E-series namely E60, E61 and E70. These phones provide all the features that are required by an executive to manage his work while being on the move. Following the success of these three phones, Nokia has decided to release another phone under the E-Series. This one has been named as Nokia E-63. Nokia E63 is specifically designed to keep a balance between personal and professional life.

Apart from the common features which all Nokia E-Series phones have, E63 distinguishes itself from others with its ability to switch modes, from corporate mode to personal mode. With a single key press, you can easily shift from viewing a corporate mail, appointment to picture of a friend or a personal email.

Other noticeable features of Nokia E63 include

High resolution 2 Mega pixel camera
3.5mm stereo socket

Facebook Enables SMS Updates

You can already become a fan of Facebook Pages with a text message (for example, text “fan mashable” to FBOOK). Now, you can also subscribe to a Pages’ updates via SMS, via a link that has been added to the sidebar of Facebook Pages.

Once subscribed, you’ll get the same updates from Pages that you currently get on your homepage. This functionality is much like that Facebook already offers for regular profiles, where you can subscribe to SMS updates for things like status updates and friend requests from regular user profiles. Unfortunately, some carriers (most notably, T-Mobile) don’t yet work with Facebook Mobile, which makes this feature unavailable to all.

As Nick O’Neill notes, this once again moves Facebook further towards Twitter, who already lets you subscribe to individual user’s updates via SMS. Facebook Pages – or public profiles as they are sometimes called – are part of the social network’s answer to Twitter, and with SMS now enabled, they have duplicated much of the functionality.

Is it enough to stop Twitter’s torrid growth? Probably not, at least for a while. Twitter currently has enough mindshare with the mainstream media that “follow us on Twitter!” is not likely to soon be expunged from their vernacular. And while anecdotally it would seem that more Facebook users are using the site in the way they want them to – posting frequent updates of “what’s on your mind” – the volume doesn’t seem to be anywhere near what’s seen on Twitter.
