Video: Nokia 8600 and BH-701 Bluetooth headset unboxing
Frame rate is a little low, but you get a good 6 minute unboxing of the Nokia 8600, only 30 seconds are spent on the headset. I’m impressed with how fast S40 boots and I’m urging Nokia to use the multitasking JVM that is part of Jazelle. Sony Ericsson uses it, the iPhone might support…

Sony Ericsson S500 vs Samsung U600 comparison pics
Wondering which device suits your better – Sony Ericsson S500 or Samsung U600? Well, the following photos may be of some help. Both devices are uber-stylish and sport similar features. Furthermore, while the U600 is slimmer, I prefer Sony Ericsson’s slider for its color and roughness (compared with Samsung). Still, you wouldn’t miss with Samsung’s…
Apple to introduce iPhone in Japan by the end of 2008?
Our Japanese readers may have the world’s coolest and most advanced handsets at their disposal, but for an iPhone they will have to wait for at least a year.
