(InfoWorld) - Nokia has introduced several phones and also announced a music recommendation service that hints at the potential for a full-blown music store from the company. The N75, announced Tuesday, is Nokia's smallest multimedia phone and is targeted at the U.S. market. The new phone includes a camera, a music player and Internet access. Nokia has been under pressure to release new, attractive devices in the U.S. since it announced in June that it will stop making CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) phones, which are widely used in the U.S. "We don't rest until we make it here in the U.S.," said Anssi Vanjoki, executive vice president and general manager of multimedia for Nokia, during an event in New York that was Webcast. "The N75 will be my tool to get that going." Nokia also introduced the N95, a phone that includes a 5-megapixel camera, GPS (Global Positioning System) capability with mapping applications and 3D graphics. The N95 will operate on broadband WCDMA (wideband CDMA) and HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) networks in Europe and Asia. It will also include Wi-Fi. The phone is based on Nokia's S60 software and the Symbian operating system and comes with Nokia's Web browser. Users can insert microSD cards for extra storage on the device and connect via mini USB (Universal Serial Bus) for data transfer. The N95 is expected to become available in the first quarter of 2007 for â¬550 ($703). The N75 will cost between $350 and $390 and should be available by the holiday buying season. Along with the phones, Nokia announced a music service that will become available worldwide by year-end. Registered users of the service can browse a Web site to read music recommendations. Nokia has lined up 40 recommenders who are independent music enthusiasts working for well-known record shops around the globe. Nokia has also signed on musician David Bowie to contribute a monthly feature or podcast about new music that he has discovered. Visitors to the site will also be able to listen to music clips and read artist interviews. The site will be launched first in the U.K. and Australia, although music fans around the world will be able to sign up to those sites when they're launched. Access to the site will be free. Vanjoki hinted that the site might be expanded based on technology Nokia expects to acquire through theÂ purchase of Loudeye. That acquisition, announced in August, hasn't closed yet so Vanjoki said he couldn't provide further details on how Loudeye's technology might be relevant to the new music recommendation site. He called Tuesday's announcement a "precursor" of things to come. Nokia also introduced music editions of three existing phones, the N70, N73 and N91. The phones include dedicated music access keys, additional storage capacity and new software to make synching easier.

(InfoWorld) - Nokia appears to be trying to work increasingly close with operators as a way to push its S60 mobile phone software. The strategy could result in more Symbian phones available to U.S. users. Last year at theÂ 3GSM World Congress, Vodafone Group announced that it would build a software package that could be adopted by S60 licensees that would make it easier for Vodafone to introduce new services on a wide range of phones without having to customize the software for each handset. On Tuesday, Vodafone released the software package and Nokia and Samsung Electronics said they plan to use it in new devices this year. Vodafone says the software will help it speed up the delivery of new services to users. S60 is user interface software created by Nokia for the Symbian operating system. It is primarily used by Nokia but LG Electronics and Samsung also license S60. Symbian competes with Microsoft's Windows Mobile and Research In Motion's operating system. Nokia may be near a similar deal to the Vodafone collaboration in the U.S., where the world's largest mobile phone maker has continued to struggle for a foothold. Symbian is the most popular smartphone operating system in the world but has a very small user base in the U.S. "We are in active dialog with Cingular," said Matti Vanska, vice president of mobile software sales and marketing for Nokia. An agreement with Cingular, now called AT&T, that is similar to the collaborations Nokia has made with European operators could result in more Symbian devices on the U.S. market. Nokia is also working to try to encourage U.S. developers to work on products for Symbian phones, which could also spur more demand for the handsets in North America. "There are a lot of interesting developers in North America," said Lee Epting, vice president of Forum Nokia, the developer community for S60 and other Nokia software. "They tend to look just at North America even if the global prospects are better." Nokia is trying to encourage those developers to notice the large market for Symbian devices in Asia-Pacific, China and Europe, she said. Other operators have also begun collaborations with Nokia on S60. On Monday, Nokia said that it will work closely with Telecom Italia Mobile's internal application development team and address its requirements for S60. Nokia also announced last week that it would collaborate with T-Mobile International to improve the ability of S60 licensees to develop phones for T-Mobile.

Nokia is trying to attract developers to their new cell phones and is nice enough to host a "workshop" in SF during CTIA .

The problem is that when you try to register for their workshop they mention:  "If you have not previously completed an NDA, you will be directed to a page where you can either accept or reject the term ...
