Do you see just how much like an iPhone it looks? This promo video also helpfully explains just what demographic each of the handsets (Ace, Fit, Glo and [...]

Nokia Plan B is far too late, but there’s hope for Plan A
I saw a re-tweet of the Nokia Plan B open letter to Nokia shareholders and investors. It makes for interesting reading and I do like and appreciate the broad thrust of their arguments. (The Plan B summary: Don’t do the Microsoft deal, get rid of Elop, fire some people, hire some people and the like). [...]
