I like it, but I only have one question: When will it be rolled out?

If you want to see an awesome NFC demo then check out this video from Phone Scoop:

Anyone care to enlighten me about this

Caption reads:

For 72 consecutive hours beginning 07.00 EEST on Monday, May 14th tens of thousands of Nokia (NYSE: NOK) employees from around the world will come together as one via the Internet to collaborate on ideas to bring our values to life.

Bookmark this page now and come back on May 14th to take part of this exciting event!

Google (NSDQ: GOOG) turns us this sad piece of news:

The Nokia Way Jam is to be used only as a forum for registered Nokia employees to share and brainstorm ideas relevant to the stated purpose of the Nokia Way Jam.

Imagine if Nokia had one of these for anyone to join and enter?

Seriously, once a quarter for 72 hours straight. Pure user feedback.

This Yahoo article mentions an awesome research application called Point and Find:

Point & Find lets people point a camera phone at an object or picture and find out more about it or buy it just by clicking once when its name comes up on the screen. It works by linking a set of image properties with a URL for information about what’s in the image. When a user points the phone’s camera at something, the system compares what the viewfinder sees with sets of image properties in a database. Also taking into consideration the user’s location, it then delivers useful information about what the user is looking at.

For example, pointing the phone at a movie poster and pressing a key could make a page pop up that offers an ad for the movie and a way to buy a ticket at the theater nearest the user. Pointing the phone at the street might bring up a contact page for a local cab company. The system could give retailers, transit agencies, manufacturers, and others the chance to reach consumers while making it easier and more intuitive for consumers to find things, Nokia (NYSE: NOK) said. Point & Find was demonstrated at Mobile Mash-Up but is still under development.

But the main topic is Nokia attempting to launch a 3G network around their Research Campuses in America:

There’s a new Moto RAZR! It’s Purple, and it’s the RAZR V3i in Purple. Yes, we said “new”. No, nothing’s changed. Yes, we said Purple. If the current gamut of Silver Quartz, Gunmetal Grey, Gold Plate, Dark Blue, Maroon, Violet, Orchid, Black (PRODUCT)RED , Platinum colors just didn’t do it for you, now there’s Purple (Mother’s Day is just around the corner, guys)! The specs are the familiar 1.2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, iTunes player, and TransFlash. And, as it goes with new color variants, expect to shell out a little extra – $239  extra, to be precise (with a discount for buying two phones).

At least that is the rumour according to Engadget Mobile.

Time and time again I’ll say it: buy an unlocked device.

Leave it to Cingular to botch up a release like this. This device was supposed to come out back in the middle ages.

USA 3G is fun, but rumour has it that T-Mobile (NYSE: DT) will launch 3G in America with the European 2100 MHz band.

Now that would make my day!

Part 1 of Rafe’s S60 Summit may not interest you guys, he covers Samsung devices.

Part 2 however is the operators role in pushing S60. Summary: We want to hit the mid priced market, but S60 based devices haven’t reached that price point yet.

A photo gallery is also included so you can get an idea of what is happening:

Ari Jaaksi brings us the good news that bugs are being fixed and new software is being added on the 770 version of Maemo.

Check out Rafe’s Flickr for more:

At 260 Euros this would have been the device to bring S60 to the masses, but I think it looks a little … it isn’t the 6300.

Let us just leave it at that.

Krisse from All About Symbian reviews the Nokia 6290 and comes to the conclusion that it will probably be very under rated since the N76 and N75 are its closest rivals. If cost is a factor however, you should definitely consider this piece of kit. A video is accompanied showing the dimensions and features of the device:
