In case you’ve been living under a rock, the Google Nexus One was announced, available for purchase, and shipped at the same time just a couple of days ago. Mine was just delivered and the first thing I wanted to do is compare it in size with Nokia’s own super-phone, the Nokia N900. Take a look.
Nokia Mystic Leak or Fake?
Images of a Nokia Qwerty handset running Symbian S60v3 has surfaced in Vietnam.

Nokia N900 Ads Take Over Gizmodo
My current favorite device, the Nokia N900, is plastered all over one of our favorite tech sites today, Gizmodo.

Watch Out for BarrioSquare – A Foursquare App for Nokia N900
Foursquare just launched a native app on Palm, joining the iPhone, Blackberry, and Android OS. Nokia users don’t have any apps for Symbian or Maemo, so we have to rely on the mobile site instead.
