Deal: Nokia N8 Green $410 at Dell, Expires Feb 9th
There’s no coupon needed for this deal. The green Nokia N8 is available at Dell for $410 with free shipping. It’s cheaper than Nokia’s retail site ($450) right now and even Amazon. Deal expires February 9th, but I think this may only be valid in the USA.
Symbian Update PR1.1 – That’s It?

If Nokia Goes Android, Can They Differentiate with Amazing Cameras?
After listening to several sources, it’s very unlikely that Nokia is going to adopt Android. One of the main reasons was there’s no way to differentiate among other manufacturers already using the Android platform. I asked my Twitter followers last night if Nokia can differentiate with their amazing Carl Zeiss cameras (like the one on the Nokia N8). I got some interesting replies. Take a look.
Nokia E7 Preview and Sample Video by Telefonino
Telefonino got their hands on a Nokia E7 and just posted their preview on Youtube. It’s a 20-minute overview of the device, but you might have a hard time understanding since the video is in Italian. I don’t see a write-up on their website that we can translate, but I expect it will go up soon. Video after the jump.

Nokia E6-00 to Feature VGA Screen, 4:3 Ratio
Engadget discovered the User Agent profile for the unannounced Nokia E6-00 and found something interesting. They noticed the screen resolution to be 640×480, also known as VGA. This is odd because many of Nokia’s touchscreen devices have 16:9 ratio like 640×360 on the Nokia N8. A VGA screen has 4:3 ratio and is slightly wider.
