Nokia 6555 Gets Smooth and Classy

Finland’s Nokia today announced its 6555 clamshell handset, featuring a sleek design with an analog clock on the outside and a recessed hinge that, when opened, offers a smooth-backed design which the company says offers an “ergonomic” user experience. Even better, the handset uses WCMDA and quad-band GSM technology, so although the company has currently only announced availability in Europe (€200, September) the 6555 is a strong candidate for the U.S. market.

“Mobile-savvy consumers expect superior quality and design,” said Markku Suomi, product group director for Nokia’s mobile phone group, in a statement. “We understood that need, and so created the the Nokia 6555. The Nokia 6555 is a sophisticated accessory delivering the outstanding features that you expect from Nokia.”

The 6555 sports a large internal 320 by 240 LCD display, a integrated video-capable camera of unspecified resolution (but with a 6× (digital?) zoom!), 30 MB of onboard memory (expandable via microSD storage), and Bluetooth wireless connectivity.

Nokia plans to ship the 6555 in an all-black edition, along with two versions with red and gold accenting.

Google Gemini, launched earlier this year for Android and iOS devices, has up until now only been available as a standalone app for Android users. In contrast, Apple users have had to access Google Gemini through the Google app. However, this situation is about to change.

As noted by 9to5Mac, at least one Apple user in the Philippines has been able to download the Google Gemini app from the App Store. However, it hasn’t appeared in other App Stores worldwide, including in the U.S.

Deals and discounts are always a plus, especially when you're talking about reliable custom phone cases for virtually any device you'd expect. By now, you probably know about SUPCASE and i-Blason, two incredible phone case makers. If you haven't had the chance to check out what kind of gear they offer, you should definitely go do that. But before you do, you'll also be excited to know that there's a huge sale going on right now with custom phone case discounts for everyone. Allow me to explain.

Right now, everyone can get up to 15% off sitewide at SUPCASE when you use code HERO15 at checkout. If you're military personnel, you'll get 30% off through either SUPCASE or i-Blason when you verify your identity through ID.me. If you're a first responder, medical professional, or teacher, you can enjoy 25% off either brand when you verify through ID.me. Moreover, everyone can take advantage of a 15% off discount through i-Blason by using code VET15 at checkout -- that's only valid for the i-Blason Armorbox, however. I know, I know, it's a lot to parse but the main point is that you can save big on custom phone cases through i-Blason and SUPCASE, so don't wait around.
