Most interesting news of today:

Here are some fresh new unboxing pictures of the new Nokia E75.We will publish the E75 review here on Daily Mobile within a week or so.

About Nokia E75: The new addition to the E-series has a full side-sliding QWERTY keyboard. This is a form-factor widely available in HTC smartphones but not something typical for Nokia. Other features include GPS navigation, 3.2-megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth and microSDHC card slot.

 

 

Nokia has given the nod to motion control gaming on N-Gage, via an updated version of a game called Bounce Boing Voyage. The first N-Gage game to exploit the accelerometer hidden beneath the skin of N-Gage friendly handsets including the Nokia N79, N82, N85, N95, N95 8GB, N96 and 6210 Navigator, the motion control version of Bounce Boing Voyage is slated to launch later this spring. Read on to find out how the motion control action plays out, and more details including its showcase at this week’s Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco.

 

 

  • 15 All-Time Favorite Mobile Games - by Symbian-Guru

    Mobile Gaming is the only form of gaming that I have been doing for over 3 years: I don’t have a game console nor do I install games on my computer. And even though I love mobile games, I’ll say that I’m only a casual gamer at best: I don’t spend hours playing on my phone and I don’t like games that have a complicated storyline and an overwhelming set of controls. I enjoy small, light games that I can play for 5 minutes or 5 hours, forget about for a month or so, then come back and pick up from where I left without having to rediscover the rules and commands. Over the past 3 years that I’ve been involved with S60, I must have tried over a 100 games, but there are ones that I stuck with and that I have played more than I dare to admit.

 

 

  • Nokia's Ovi Store to get carrier billing in US? - by Engadget Mobile

    We know that the Ovi Store is coming in May, but what exactly does that mean? Plenty of details about the launch remain to be shared, but here's one we didn't see coming: US-bound devices might have carrier billing. CellPassion is citing sources attending the Forum Nokia Code Camp in Jakarta as overhearing that devices launched in the UK, Italy, Singapore, Ireland, Germany, Russia, Spain, Australia, and the good ol' US of A will all get billing systems integrated with operators, suggesting that there could be one (or more?) US carriers champing at the bit to launch an Ovi Store-enabled device this year. The rest of the world will be relegated to credit card billing, but it's a mixed blessing -- will unlocked US devices get locked out of the store, much as they're locked out of the Nokia Music Store presently?
