Nokia to talk Windows Phone 7 at CES

Nokia CES Press InviteNokia has begun sending out invitations to its CES press conference, like this one received by Engadget, of which the design and “Amazing Everyday” tagline suggests it’ll be focused on their new range of Windows Phone 7 handsets. This is a far cry from last year, when the Finnish company didn’t even attend the show.

At the time they didn’t have much to shout about, and even after the announcement of their partnership with Microsoft, there were no new products unveiled at Mobile World Congress a month later either. So Nokia needs to get their name back out there, especially in the USA.

It’s obvious then, that the event will primarily be about Windows Phone and software related to it. With T-Mobile already announcing that it would be carrying the Lumia 710, could we hear about the Lumia 800 or even the mythical Lumia 900? There’s also the chance Nokia will discuss a 4G LTE Windows Phone too, particularly after being told to offer one – or else – by Verizon, and reports of recent network tests of such a device.

The invite gives nothing away about the content, thanks to some very non-specific blurb, but all will be revealed on January 9 at 3pm PT, which is actually the day before CES officially opens.

If you've been holding out on buying a new phone for a while because prices are still expensive, then you may want to consider going for one of the older flagship phones. For example, while the Pixel 8 Pro is out, the Pixel 7 Pro is still a powerful and viable alternative, and even better, it has quite a few great deals on it. In fact, you can buy a brand new and sealed Pixel 7 Pro from Woot for just $500, rather than the usual $1,100, and that's for the 512GB version of the phone, so you get a lot of storage with it as well.

A new Google Pixel Tablet is coming, but it’s not what you think

It's been almost a year since the Google Pixel Tablet went up for preorder, leading many Android tablet fans to wonder when the inevitable Pixel Tablet 2 will arrive. A new rumor suggests that Google could release a new Pixel Tablet as early as next month, but it's probably not what you were expecting or hoping for.

According to @MysteryLupin on X (formerly Twitter), Google is planning to "relaunch" the Pixel Tablet without the charging/speaker dock included in the box. As you'll likely recall, the speaker dock is the Pixel Tablet's standout feature. You can use the Pixel Tablet on its own as a traditional Android tablet when you want, and when you're done, you throw it on the dock to transform it into a smart display. The idea of Google selling the Pixel Tablet without its claim to fame is an interesting one.
