If you love (like I do) live blogging from interesting events, keep an eye on Jay's My Nokia Blog this evening while he and other uber-bloggers party along with Nokia and WOM World. Bound to be some interesting photos and gossip...
The launch of Nokia's new marketing campaign for the likes of the US-spec N95, "Open to", is also made notable by the availability for sale in consumer electronics shops (well spotted Stefan), independent phone shops and chains (in addition to Nokia's own flagship stores). So far only stores in New York and San Francisco are listed, but you can bet this list will expand...
Samsung's S60 GPS phone, the SGH-i550 which has been rumoured for some time and was recently spotted at the IFA show in Berlin has now been officially announced. The i550 boasts an impressive specification with a built in GPS, 3.2 megapixel auto-focus camera, HSDPA connectivity, and a 3.5mm audio jack which suggests it will be positioned against the N95 as a multimedia all rounder. More information and pictures in the full story.
You probably know that every S60 smartphone comes with Adobe Reader built-in. But this is v1.5 and there's a brand new v2.5, released by the guys behind Quickoffice. In my review of Adobe Reader 2.5 I look at the story behind the application, test it on my E90 and work out who should upgrade and who shouldn't.
Kudos to Darla Mack for scoring a prototype N95-3, the official USA model with 80MB free RAM and beefed up 1200mAh battery. More editorial to follow from Darla, no doubt.
You'll have heard of WOM World for the innovative ways they spread news and opinions of Nokia Nseries smartphones. But did you know they've got a Flickr stream? Start here, with their current coverage of Tropfest in the USA and work back to see how many famous bloggers and err.... shady AAS staffers you can spot!
I'm sure Phil S of S60 is serious with this review of a new Nokia accessory, the CP-218, but I really, truly am not sure I'd trust a £500 N95 to the Nokia Wrist Band while I'm out flailing my arms around in the act of trying to jog/run....
The Next Gen N-Gage platform is due to go live some time in November, so we still have a fair while to wait until our gaming main course arrives. However, to whet our appetites, All About N-Gage has been serving up some Next Gen hors d'oeuvres, looking at the best S60 games that are compatible with Next Gen N-Gage phones and are available right now.

With Nokia's flagship coming in for a lot of (justified and unjustified) criticism in recent weeks, I've been exploring some of the accusations in detail and acting as counsel for the Nokia E90's defense. What should Nokia put into upcoming firmware, what did they do right already without people 'getting it' and how are they doing on supporting the E90 hardware?
