You wanted weekly news on the hottest phones for the holidays, but didn’t get it? Here’s a late stocking-stuffer.
IntoMobile’s first podcast of 2009 touches on all the news gone over the holiday season, including leaked lineups for Rogers (NYSE: RCI), forecasts for BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM)’s 2009, new iPhone unlocking software, rumours of the iPhone nano (along with talking about Apple (NSDQ: AAPL)’s involvement at Macworld) and S60’s Curse of Silence. We also look forward to CES next week, as well as the rest of the new year.
Get all caught up on the holidays’ mobile news after the jump!

P.S. If Will sounds a little rough, it’s because he was podcasting while on the road to Vegas for CES. 
The sound quality is very bad. The volumes switches very fast from low to high to low to high and so on.
As you write in the article, Will’s quality is very bad. Why don’t you both record the voice on your own and then cut in together, instead of recording the call?
Yeah, sorry about that John – definitely a one-off occurrence. Next week’s will be much more stable.
