New Nokia N8 Ad Says It’s Not Technology, It’s What You Do With It
Nokia is going to push out a bunch of videos in the build up to Nokia World 2010. The hamster mobile charger for the Nokia N8 that we posted last week was first in the series.

Official Interactive Unboxing of the Nokia N8 (It’s hot, sizzling hot)
Nokia just uploaded their own interactive unboxing of the Nokia N8 on Youtube. You get to select which unboxer to follow, but I’d have to say Suzy’s unboxing is the most interesting. What other tech unboxing videos do you know include a girl saying, “the bendable, the strong… actually just the kind of guy I’m looking for?”

We’ve seen leaked official photos of the Nokia C6-01, but this is the first time I’ve heard of the C6-02. The UAProfiles don’t show much, but read on to see what we uncovered.
Nokia E7 to be Announced at Nokia World 2010 as the New Flagship
Reuters reported this morning that the Nokia E7 will be announced at Nokia World 2010 as the new flagship device from Nokia. They cited two sources with direct knowledge of Nokia’s plans.

6 Reasons the Nokia N8 Might Hit the Stores Sept. 14th
Julien Fourgeaud wrote some very convincing reasons on his blog that the Nokia N8 could start spreading to consumers on September 14th instead of the official “end of Q3.” We hear a lot of rumors in the blogosphere, but I’d pay attention to Julien because of his history with Nokia. He previously worked on development of various Eseries and Nseries devices and was with Symbian Foundation until 3 months ago to form his own consulting company.
