Nokia’s site has leaked user’s profiles of 5 new mobile phones: 3109 Classic, 6263, 6555, 7500 and 8600.

Nokia 7500 (pictured) it is supposed to have an OLED screen with 16 million colors and 320x240 resolution, 2 MP camera with flash, USB 2.0, Bluetooth 2.0, run S40, FM Radio and a shining LED stripe going round the casing.

 The guys at Symbian Guru managed to get their hands on some pictures of 2 upcoming Nokia phones, the N81 and N82, which will both supposedly launch during Q4 2007.

Set to be launched 4Q 2007 and running S60 v3 FP1, the Nokia N81 is a slider-followup to the N91 8GB Music Edition. It is quad-band EDGE with 2100 HSDPA (yeah, you know what that means), WiFi (b/g w/ uPnP), BT 2.0 with A2DP, and a 3.5mm slot.

 Similar to the N81, the N82 is a quad-band GSM and 2100 HSDPA, BT 2.0 (w/ A2DP), WiFi (b/g w/ uPnP), but also adds built-in GPS, TV-out, FM Radio, and a MicroSD slot. The kicker is VGA, 30 fps video recording and a 5MP shooter with Carl Zeiss lens and auto-focus, similar to the N95. However, the N82 packs an awesome XENON flash for ultra-brightness. The N82 is designed for style, but packing the features to make it worth the money. Still running S60v3 FP1, the N82 lengthens the life-span of the S60v3 FP1 platform, and should be available in Q4 2007.

The rumor has it, the upcoming device, similarly to its predecessor, will run Symbian UIQ and have GSM plus WCDMA connectivity. Other bits of information going about in the Web suggest the handset will come with a 2,6-inch touchscreen and a resolution of 240x320 pixels, 3,2 MP camera and a VGA unit for videoconference, data transfer through Bluetooth and WiFi.

 The Sony Ericsson site has a XML user-agent profile for the P700i.

Recently, Microsoft obtained a patent for user interface for mobile devices. The documents of US Patent Office contain Microsoft’s patent application. It is for a dynamic tiled interface. The screen area and the elements can be tuned by the user. The user interface can be applied in almost any mobile devices such as smartphones and personal digital assistants.

There are several opinions on the future application of this tiled interface. It might be used in Microsoft Zune players or probably Windows Mobile devices will switch to such an interface. We can only guess, one thing is for sure, the iPhone-like user interface is becoming ever popular.

Samsung Electronic has unveiled its plans to release 6 new smartphones in 2007 at the recent press conference held by the company’s German division.
