Apple and Vodafone in final stages of working out iPhone exclusivity deal for European release?
The iPhone launch in Europe is part rumor, part speculation, and a whole lotta anticipation. Apple will be releasing the iPhone in Europe, it’s just a question of when and with which carriers.

Nokia’s brand image in India might be in shambles, CEO to visit next week
Calling the BL-5C battery recall situation a nightmare for Nokia would be an understatement.

Video: Sony Ericsson K550 Cybershot Wakeboarder commercial
While it may be the “weakest” phone in the Sony Ericsson’s Cyber-shot family, the K550 is certainly not a device to underestimate.
