Brief: Nokia makes deal with WiFi provider The Cloud to offer free access to Music Store
Nokia signed a deal with a WiFi provider known as The Cloud, if you’ve ever been in airport surely you’ve heard of them, that will give users of the Nokia Music Store access to the service. My only question is why not give them free internet too? Brand it as “Comes with internet.” Apple has…
Nokia is not calling Ogg proprietary
In a recent article on Slashdot, Zonk posts a submission from “a nona maus,” that states Nokia called Ogg proprietary and is an inferior format because it lacks DRM.

Is this the first Nokia device with S60 Touch UI? Nah, it’s the Bluetooth GPS module
Thorsten from NokiaPort.de managed to capture a screen from Nokia’s presentation showing the handset maker’s known and one unknown device. It’s only natural to ask – is this the first S60 Touch enabled device? We can’t see any buttons on the surface of the device, so we may be onto something. Or this is just…

Video: Nokia 6263 tour
And while we’re keeping our fingers crossed T-Mobile will launch its 3G network today, the carrier along with Nokia have announced a new mid-level 3G clamshell – 6263.
