Nokia Debuts Seven New Mobile Phones

Nokia 6280

The new compact Nokia 6280 slide phone comes with an integrated 2MP digital camera and announces incoming calls with a very unique ring tone; video and audio. The 6280 features a 320×240 pixel 262K color display, a miniSD memory card slot, and is Bluetooth capable. The overall design of the 6280 is very modernistic. There are only 5 buttons on the outside of the phone itself, but once the slider is activated, a full keypad is revealed. For pictures, please click here.

Nokia 6270

The Nokia could be considered the little brother of the 6280. Both phones feature a very similar look and slider interface. The 6270 comes with an integrated 2MP camera and a 320×240 resolution, 262K color screen, just like the 6280. What the 6270 doesn’t have though is built-in Bluetooth, but that’s ok because it does support MP3 and AAC music files. It’s a trade-off you will have to make. There is no mention of a memory card slot on the 6270, but we suspect its there, unless it comes with internal memory. The 6270 is a quad band GSM 850/900/1800/1900 handset.

Nokia 6111

The Nokia 6111 has the same button configuration as the Nokia 6270 and 6280 phones including a slider design as well. The overall size of the phone is smaller though and sort of resembles an egg with its rounded corners. The 6111 comes with a 1MP digital camera featuring a 6x digital zoom. It also has a 262K color display, but the screen size is considerably smaller measuring in at 128×160 pixels. The Nokia 6111 features Push to Talk functionality and Bluetooth. The GSM 900/1800/1900 Nokia 6111 has an estimated retail price of 270 EUR. Click here to view some pictures.

Nokia 6060

The Nokia 6060 breaks out of the slider mold that the previous phones have, instead opting for a flip phone design. The 6060 should appeal to women who prefer a sheik look. One of the more affordable phones announced today, the dual band GSM 900/1800 or GSM 850/1900 has an estimated retail price of 140 EUR. Other features include a 64K 128×160 pixel display.

Nokia 6265

Nokia’s 6265 phone is CDMA based, but don’t let that disappoint you. Nokia is touting the 626 as their most feature-rich CDMA phone yet. The 6265 comes with an integrated 2MP digital camera, a 240×320 pixel display and a compact sliding design. Music fans will love the miniSD expansion slot and support for MP3, AAC and eAAC+ files. The 6265 also comes with integrated Bluetooth and a built-in FM radio tuner.

Nokia 2255 and 2125

Nokia’s 2255 and 2125 phones are also CDMA based and slated to ship towards the end of the year. Both phones feature a 64K color display. The 2255 is more basic and features an integrated FM radio and business applications, while the 2125 comes with an LED flashlight.

Best Verizon Fios new customer deals: Get 2GB/s internet in your home
Fios TV Package

Whether you surf the web for work or you subscribe to one of the best live TV streaming services, the experience can be made better with blazing fast internet. Fiber optic internet service is the future, and with Verizon Fios you can get some of the fastest internet service around. This service would pair well with any of the best TVs and home theater setups, but it’s also something to consider if you're into online gamine or do work that requires large file uploads and downloads. We’re currently seeing some of the lowest prices on Fios home internet service we’ve ever seen, with Verizon putting some super impressive deals out there. We’ve rounded up all of the best Verizon Fios deals available right now, and they include low monthly costs, waived setup charges, and a number of freebies like Target gift cards.
2 Gigabit Verizon Fios connection -- $85 per month + free extras
One of the fastest internet speeds you can get, and the fastest speed that Verizon offers, this is the sort of subscription you should grab if all the members of your family are essentially watching 4k content all the time. It's also great for those who want to host their own media server to share with friends or family while not impacting anybody else in the home. You also get a lot of great freebies included here, such as the choice of either a $300 Target gift card or a $350 value Samsung Chromebook Go, which is admittedly an entry-level device, but it's not bad to use for just streaming content. On top of that, you can choose between 2TB of Verizon cloud storage and 12 months of Disney+ with no ads or a MoCA Ethernet Adapter for gaming and a $50 Xbox eGift Card. You could also get both of these if you add an extra $10/month, although it's probably not worth it at that point.

1 Gigabit Verizon Fios connection -- $65 per month + free extras
If the super-fast speeds aren't necessarily needed, especially if you're in a smaller household without too many folks watching content, then the 1 Gigabit version is the way to go. It is $20 cheaper, so it's a lot of money that you're saving over the course of the year, and you still get quite a few extra benefits, even at this level. You get to choose either a $200 Target gift card or the same sort of Samsung Chromebook Go that's worth $350 that's great for streaming content. You also get a similar choice as the 2 Gigabit connection, which includes either 2TB of Verizon cloud storage and six months of Disney+ without ads, or a MoCA Ethernet Adapter for gaming and a $50 Xbox eGift Card.

A person holding the Apple iPhone 15 Plus.

If you’ve slept through an important meeting or missed your alarm lately, it may not be entirely your fault if you’re an iPhone user. For weeks now, iPhone users have been reporting on social media that their devices are no longer ringing.

Today, The Wall Street Journal’s Joanna Stern finally confirmed this. According to Stern, Apple has confirmed that it’s aware of the issue causing some alarms not to play a sound and is working on a fix.
iPhone alarm issues explained
The iPhone alarm problem seems to be tied to Apple’s Attention Aware features. For those unfamiliar, it’s a feature that lowers the volume sound of your alerts and alarms if you’re looking at your device and avoids dimming the screen, similar to how Samsung phones keep the screen on if they see you looking at your screen.
