Nokia tweeted that the Nokia 603 now starts shipping. Launched October 13th, now October 21, that’s in the same month, just over a week. The 603 is my favourite of all the Belle devices.

This should prevent those rather annoying mis-presses of the capacitive keys (namely, inappropriate launch of bing [...]

Something that we haven’t seen demoed outside of Nokia launch events, is the NFC capabilities between two phones.

Back in June during the Nokia N9 launch, we collected the myriad of positive Nokia N9 reactions.
