In a little under one hour Nokia is going to be holding a press conference. We’ll try to live blog it, tethering with so many mobile phone geeks in one room is never nice, but in case our network goes down you’ll be able to watch Nokia’s event live on Nokia’s Mobile World Congress page.…

Rumour: Bloomberg: Nokia will not announce any new hardware at Mobile World Congress
Bloomberg, whose integrity and trustworthiness rivals that of the Associated Press and Reuters due to most financial traders using Bloomberg data when deciding whether to buy or sell shares, has thrown down the gauntlet and said Nokia will not be announcing any new hardware at Mobile World Congress 2010 and will instead be focusing on…
Brief: Is this the Nokia N98? [Yea baby, that’s definitely 4 inches of power in my pocket]
What is it with the French? Yesterday it was Tom’s Guide that claimed they knew about Nokia’s new naming scheme and the 12 megapixel packing N8, now we have BeGeek who claim that they have a render of the Nokia N98. It’s supposed to have a 4 inch screen, ship by the end of 2010,…
Rumour: Nokia changing model naming scheme, will announce 12 megapixel camera phone at MWC
Mobile World Congress is less than a week away, so you’re excused if you don’t read anything after the period ending this sentence.

Video: Playing Duke Nukem 3D on Nokia N900 using WiiMote!
Two things before I let you go: We’ve already seen the game being played on the N900, but this time it’s done using a WiiMote! If this doesn’t win (or at least scores high) on Nokia’s N900 hacking competition, I don’t know what will. Enough said, and now the clip. Enjoy, though note that the…
BlackBerry Operating System Spotted Running on Nokia E71, 5700
Anyone remember the BlackBerry Application Suite, a project at RIM designed to replace Connect by emulating the BlackBerry operating system (and services) on other devices?
