Besides packing 8 GB of internal memory and a 2.6 inch QVGA touch screen the new Sony Ericsson W960i has a 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera. Triband GSM (900/1800/1900) is bad news for people in America who depend on the 850 MHz band and UMTS 2100 is something only the Europeans get to enjoy. Surprisingly a…
Jaiku: Where you are on the internet doesn’t matter anymore, it is who you know
I hate microblogging. I don’t get it and I think all of you people who use Twitter and Jaiku instead of instant messaging or SMS are wasting your time. That being said I think aggregation of everything you do on the net is a magical thing. Jaiku makes it easy with the “Add your Web…
3GSM conference is dead, all hail Mobile World Congress
3GSM is to mobile phone addicts what Mecca is to Muslims. You have to make the journey at least once in your life. I’ve never been, but I’m looking to change that in 2008. The conference will no longer be called 3GSM however, the new name is “Mobile World Congress.” A rose by any other…

Symbian France took a picture of a Nokia N95 hooked up a plasma television showing off the new N Gage platform. It looks like Nokia is trying to take the best of XBOX Live and make a mobile version of it. What do you think?
Nokia is trying to make sharing mobile content easier with MOSH
This Alpha program looks too good to be true and I can already hear the operators crying. MOSH is short for mobilize and share and I’m finiding it difficult to see what differentiates this from MMS other than the fact that the data sits on a central server. Potential piracy uses are certainly there, but…
Nokia E90 vs E61i: Which should you buy?
Steve from All About Symbian takes a look at Nokia Enterprise Divison’s flagship E90 and the ever popular E61i. I’m biased since I own an E61i, but I’ll sell a kidney for the E90. 3.2 megapixel camera, 800 pixel wide screen, the thing is brilliant. The keyboard however is a little less than desirable, the…
Review: Private Jaiku beta for Nokia’s S60 platform
Jaiku is the Finnish version of Twitter, except smarter. Ken Camp takes a look at the invite only beta version of the S60 Jaiku client and it is definitely shaping up to be the most advanced microblogging platform out there. What I like is the ability to import rss feeds of all the other social…
Sprint can’t compete with companies, so they just buy them
According to some weird clause in the Sprint-Nextel merger contract, the company is not allowed to compete with smaller operators. Northern PCS Services just got purchased for $312.5 million dollars and the aquistion should be complete by the end of the third quarter. The bigger question here is who in their right mind would use…
