Eldar just tweeted that the English version of his preview of the Nokia N900 is up, and that the Russian version will be up soon. Quite shocking, since it’s usually the Russian version going up first, and then the English version. Anyway, read it here and enjoy the many photos and screenshots of the N900.…

Video: iPhone 3GS unboxing, the S stands for speed, something I know a thing or two about
I’m in tears. Absolute tears. Just watch this video:
Wikimedia Foundation releases official Wikipedia iPhone application
The Wikimedia Foundation, the folks behind Wikipedia, have written their own iPhone application [iTunes link] and it is now available for free from the App Store. ReadWriteWeb is saying the app isn’t very good, that it’s merely just a wrapper for the mobile version of Wikipedia, and that other applications such as Wapedia, Wikiamo and…
HD Video: First look at the LG BL40, a device that goes where no wide screen has gone before
Let me preface this by saying I think the LG BL40 is a terrible mobile fone. It’s insanely long, the UI is that funky S-Class nonsense, which is trying to rip off Samsung’s TouchWIZ, which itself isn’t a very good source of inspiration. This device is supposed to be for the fashion crowd, but they’re…
Washington D.C. subway to get mobile phone coverage: Terrorists ecstatic at remote detonation
America’s capital, Washingston D.C., has an underground metro that helps interns and political aids alike travel upon their daily commute to help their bosses figure out how much money should be spent on education, warfare, and an 8 ball of cocaine.

Yet another screenshot: Maemo 5’s virtual keyboard is just as bad as the Nokia N97
The phrase virtual keyboard either makes you smile with thoughts of the iPhone’s silky smooth capacitive touch screen, or cry due to a stern and unyielding opinion that a device should have buttons.

Microsoft to update Windows Mobile 6.5 in February 2010, launch Windows Mobile 7 in Q4 2010
Microsoft is going to try something a bit wild and crazy. As it stands today, Windows Mobile is the only mobile phone operating system that device manufactures have to pay a license for to use. Symbian is now free, and so is Android; BlackBerry is proprietary on RIM hardware, iPhone is proprietary on Apple hardware.…
HD Video: 10 minute review of the Nokia E55 and E52
Rafe over at All About Symbian has been playing with the Nokia E55 for a while now, and has produced a 10 minute video review that is quite comprehensive and covers a wide range of topics. The Nokia E55 is the first half qwerty device to come out of Nokia, and if the keypad layout…
Screenshot: Nokia’s Maemo 5 looks nothing like Symbian, and that’s a good thing
The screenshot below (click to enlarge) was captured by Eldar Murtazin of Mobile-Review, and was posted on his personal blog. It doesn’t reveal too much to be considered interesting. A new way to manage connections, new icons, new color scheme. This is however something we’re going to be seeing a lot more of in 2…
