Here we go again with another diamond-encrusted monstrosity from a region of the world where good taste and sensibility are said to reign supreme. It seems there are exceptions to every stereotype. Following on the likewise gaudy Nokia N95 from Amosu’s diamond-covering operation, Continental Mobiles has thrown their overly-tacky offering in to the ring. With…
S60 using TAT to bling up their mobile phone UI
The Astonishing Tribe (TAT) is a Swedish company that makes something called Kastor which is, to quote their website, “a powerful UI rendering platform.” It’s something that users can’t go willy nilly and install on their own, but instead software that should enable the next generation of products to produce a whole lot of wow.…
NeuScreen goes beyond multi touch on Nokia N95
Roughly two weeks ago we wrote about NeuTouch, the multi touch engine for the Nokia N95. The same guy who prepared that impressive demo went one step further.

http://www.openatownrisk.com/ used to link to a countdown timer that promised to unveil the weirdest video you’ve ever seen, but now it just shows a cease and desist letter claiming the supreme court would like to shut down the site for fear of making the masses insane. Cute. Makes you wonder if they realized that the…
Video: Nokia E66 and E71 commercials
Nokia has recently released first E66 and E71 commercials. As an IntoMobile reader, I doubt these clips will help you made your mind about any of the two devices — you probably already know whether you’re going to buy either E66 or E71. I’m all for E71 as that QWERTY keyboard is more than useful,…
