Spotted: Ad for Nokia X6 and 5230 Running Android
Who’s getting fired for this? A poster showing the Nokia X6 and Nokia 5230 running Android was spotted on Oxford Street in London. The ad was for Three Mobile.

Apple Shows the Nokia N97 Mini Loses Signal if You Hold it in Awkward Way
Apple did not want to leave the issue alone and published a video showing their own antenna test on the Nokia N97 mini. The iPhone 4 antenna press conference was held 5 days ago, so why was this video just published? Is Apple being petty?
