Pink Nokia N8 spotted at online store? With PR2.0 icons.
One of our readers, Simon, was price checking stumbled on a PINK Nokia N8. I just stumbled upon this whilst pricechecking: http://www.katshing.se/mobiler/nokia/nokia_n8-12796_22503 They’re one of Swedens most trusted online stores so I’m pretty sure it’s legit.

A guy on twitterverse by the name of @jonjongoco, Neil Ross Goco, from Quezon City Philippines, claims to be in possession of (or at least access to) a N8-01 prototype. First – who is @jonjongoco?

Video: Nokia C7 gets run over again – screen side down. Not a pretty sight.
So you might have seen the Nokia C7 getting run over by a 4 tonne van. The folks at BesteProduct wanted to check if this was real and ran over their own Nokia C7. Unfortunately this one doesn’t survive. Well what can you expect, the Nokia C7 was placed screen side down. I don’t know [...]

Nokia says Symbian: “Not Open Source, just Open for Business”
You put your left foot in, you put your left foot out, left foot in and you shake it all about.

From: http://symbian.nokia.com/blog/2011/04/04/not-open-source-just-open-for-business/ We have received questions about the use of words “open”, “open source”, and about having a [...]
Video: CuteBox – Qt Dropbox client demoed on Nokia N8
Dropbox users, there’s something cool in the works. moldovancatalin shows us a Qt based DropBox client. What is DropBox? It’s cloud storage. What I like about it is sharing folders between friends.

There’s a new Nokia video for the Nokia E7 called “Learn more about the E7″ Since when could you pinch zoom and pan left and right in the text editor? I think this wasn’t the first time this was done as I remember seeing this error on a much older video. So why has no [...]

Nokia E7: First Reactions
Sometimes before actually writing a fully fledged review it’s useful to put down some raw impressions first. These immediate reactions of using the Nokia E7 might be able to convey a more vivid image than a perfectly constructed and though-out review. Of course, for every type of article there’s the best time and place. Now [...]
HTC Surpasses Nokia’s Market Value? Ahem. Well, no, not anymore.
Bloomberg are reporting: HTC Surpasses Nokia’s Market Value as Smartphones Drive Profit http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-04-07/htc-surpasses-nokia-s-market-value-as-smartphones-drive-profit.html I found the story after I read Andre’s (@andref1989) tweet: You know that the stock market is NOT representative of a company’s financials when Nokia is worth less than HTC First things first.
