N96 campaigns ending

Nokia Portugal has released the new Nokia 5800 here in Portugal. When I checked the Nokia store in Portugal, Lisbon, I saw a complete store focused on promoting the 5800. I have not seen any poster regarding the N96. The store was covered by pink and white colours and there were some girls at the entrance of the store.

I think probably the same thing is happening in many countries. Nokia stopped promoting the Nokia N96 and began campaigns regarding the 5800.

Have you noted something similar to this? The end of the N96 campaigns and the 5800 substitution?

Below, you can check some pictures of the Nokia 5800 release at Lisbon.

Nokia N97 is coming…

Nokia N97 is coming in the next few months to the market and some videos are now being published around the web about the this Nokia cell phone. Some of those videos are not only a look trought the design of Nokia N97, bue also an exploration of the funcionalities of this new device. Indeed Nokia N97 came to substitute N96 – Only God knows if there will be an N98 our N99, but the chances are good – Who knows if 2010 will be the year of the big revelations. I image how would be a competition between the Nokia N98 and the iPhone Nano.

Well, these are only dreams. For now I selected from Youtube a nice “Nokia N97 Hands-On”. For now you can only buy Nokia N96

Night Effect or…N96?

The Samsung Armani Night Effect is now on sale in the UK from 9th January this year. Samsung remains trying to get territory to Nokia and the new Armani phone might directly competes with the best Nokia cell phones. It happened with P520 an now it’s the “night effect” phone (M7500).

In a first glance the Night Effect might seem to be a simple low-end user mobile phone for Emporio Armani fanatics, but when we have a closer look we understand the words “Night Effect” and how great is this phone. This device has a OLED screen which shows the colors more similar to reality than N96 and surrounding the screen it has a light that produces that “night effect”. The user is able to set the light color and also it’s related functions.

Lets see the mobile phone features:

• 2.2? QVGA screen
• 3.2 Megapixel Camera
• Music Hot keys
• 3G Equipped
• Bluetooth Connectivity
• Media player with Video Recorder
• FM Radio
• 3.5mm Audio Jack

Do you think a 3.2 megapixel camera is able to make the Emporio Armani fight for a place against N96? Or simply they act throught different market segments?
