China’s proprietary 3G wireless infrastructure, TD-SCDMA, is a little closed-off from the rest of the mobile world, but Nokia’s still willing to show some love. A handset packing the S60 OS and TD-SCDMA support should be available before the end of 2009, with more likely to follow. Nokia had long ago assured folks that they…

I finally broke my N95-8GB…
Yep, the day has come, and I’m a bit sad – my N95-8GB provided 10 months of faithful service, before giving up the ghost (hardware-wise) the other day. To be fair, there is nothing wrong with the general function of the device – I just managed (somehow) to break the ‘zoom out/volume down’ part of…
