The Verge reckons it might be the Nokia 710, especially as that’s on Nokia USA’s page. That’s a bit odd. [...]

  This is interesting. As we saw earlier, and perhaps in previous posts, developers can see handset statistics of their apps – quite crucially for Nokia geeks, names of devices using their apps.

Do you remember that very dramatic Nokia N9 ad for China? Here’s another one. There’s no translation here, but you can see Xian Jian walking across what appears to be a moment frozen in time. The translation of the title was “not to follow” which I’m guessing is part of that unfollow thing? > Cheers [...]
