Nokia Xseries trademark unveiled

Only yesterday we learned that Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia was on its way to come to the market with a new family of devices, the Cseries, and now more news reports on the company's lineup are surfacing, pointing towards a possible Xseries as well. The new family of devices was discovered on The Office of Harmonization for the Internal Market website (OAMI), along with details on other devices and services that the Espoo-based company would plan to come to the market with.

There is no info on what the new Xseries might include in terms of devices, nor on whether the mobile phone maker will indeed come to the market with handsets that will feature the 'X' or 'C' letters in their names. It wouldn't be the first time when a company trademarks a name without ever using it, but we certainly hope for the best.

In addition to the new Xseries lineup, IntoMobile also says that some more details on the company's services and Eseries devices have been unveiled on OAMI's site. It seems that there are some more Eseries handsets that should surface, such as the E82 (the phone maker filed for trademark of Nokia E53, E54, E56, E57, E58, E59, E64, E67, E68, E69, E74, E76, E77, E78, E79, E81, E83, E84, E86, E87, E88, E89, E91, E92, E93, E94, E95, E97, E98, E99 on September 20, 2006, and of Nokia E73, E80, E85, E96 on June 19, 2006).

Another interesting tidbit of info is that the Finnish company is preparing a new service, called Nokia Money, for which it filed for trademark on July 16, 2009. The service has the following description: “Computer software to enable mobile telephones to transfer money from one bank account to another bank account. […] Financial transaction services, namely, providing secure commercial transactions and payment options using a mobile device at a point of sale.” As Nokia already announced a series of investments in Obopay, a mobile payment-focused company, this shouldn't come as too big a surprise.

Another Nokia trademark discovered by IntoMobile on the OAMI site is Booklet, which might be the name of the company's netbooks or smartbooks that have already been rumored. The filing, made on June 20, 2009, says “Computers, laptops, smart phones; accessories for computers, laptops and smart phones,” which means that a move in this area might be imminent. Hopefully, these trademarks will indeed become reality in the near future, since we must admit that Nokia already managed to stir our enthusiasm. Stick around to learn more on this matter.
