Mysterious new Nokia touchscreen interface and handset unveiled (sort of) {Engadget Mobile}
Dec 9th 2008 5:41AM Hmmm, might we possibly be seeing the first strains of Symbian Foundation? As it says in the link below, it's not that Symbian-y, so it could be intriguing...

(And yes, i was sad enough to sit down and work out how many Star Bars you could get with the price of the phone: http://www.mobileshop.com/blog/mobile-phone-news/super-luxury-mobile-phones-you-dont-want-the-vertu-signature-s-design/)
Ditch your smartphone and join the Nokia 1100 club {Engadget Mobile}

Question is, though, will it LOOK cheaper, if you get my drift? Basically, if he's going to someone to ODM, is it, in fact, going to be rubbish...?

http://www.mobileshop.com/blog/mobile-phone-news/can-you-give-up-your-smartphone-for-month-take-the-nokia-1100-challenge/
I'll give it a try, it could be a giggle, but I really rather strongly doubt I'll last past 3 and a half hours...
Probably a good idea if don't sell my smartphone JUST yet, then...
