Have you checked out Nokia’s Youtube channel lately? They’re currently headlining the Nokia E7, but what I really like are the short films they’re showing about redefining success. So far, there are stories from a beekeeper and a wrestler. You should watch them. Nokia is also asking for your success stories. If they like it, you could get rewarded up to 10,000 Euros!

I’m going to try something new. Instead of reviewing phones with multiple paragraphs, I’ll be more visual and now do it through videos. The first phone to get that treatment is the T-Mobile Nokia Astound. The Astound is basically the Nokia C7 with newer firmware, portrait Qwerty, updated browser, and a few other extras. Priced at only $79.99 with a 2-year contract, will it be a hit at T-Mobile? We’ll find out.

Here’s an interesting story. An ex-Nokia employee told Bloomberg that for the last four years while Apple shipped a new iPhone, Nokia execs vacationed at their lake cottages in Finland. He said it was hard getting a decision from key persons in mid-July until September.

A big package arrived this morning and you can see the unboxing right here. Inside was an invitation to the 3rd annual Shorty Awards, honoring the best people and organizations on Twitter and social media across dozens of official categories, as well as thousands of crowd-sourced categories. There were a couple of other things inside the box, but you have to watch the video to find out.

We got a demo of Poynt during the announcement of T-mobile Nokia Astound at CTIA. It’s an all-in-one tool to connect you with local businesses, retailers and events while you’re on the go. You can get reviews, reservations, directions, trailers, listings, and tickets. It’s free, so go check it out.
