Nokia Announces a $30 Flip Phone For AT&T
From the six or seven cell phones I've owned in my life, two of them were Nokia's. Tried, tested and true, Nokia handsets will always have a special place in my heart. Now I know I have a tendency to talk about fancy new Android phones, and ramble on about the iPhone, but I know not everyone has oodles of cash lying around to spend on a smartphone.

Would You Use a Pay-by-Phone Service?
The rest of the world has all the fun: Nokia announced its first pay-by-phone service, which will allow users to prepay to an account that they can draw from while on the go. Nokia is introducing this service first to Asia and Africa, while there's no word yet on when, or even if, it will be appearing in the US.
I'm totally jealous.

Nokia Introduces Its Own Netbook, the Booklet 3G
Welcome the latest netbook to the fold: the Nokia Booklet 3G.
The cell phone maker is dropping its offering to the market with the Booklet, (which they're calling a mini laptop), which has a 10.1-inch display, 2.7 lb aluminum body, integrated 3G wireless, 12-hour battery life, Bluetooth/WiFi connectivity, and Windows 7.
This is a strong addition to the netbook game — and it doesn't look too shabby either, with its option of black, blue, or silver exterior.
Mariah Rockin' a Nokia N97 in Her New Music Video
After checking out some photos of Mariah Carey on the set of her new music video for "Obsession" (I promise that's her), I thought, wait a minute. . .
Nokia Puts Bruce Lee on N96 and in Its Commercial
Nokia has some seriously amazing people making their commercials these days; remember the epic "Fourth Screen" commercial? Recently, I found a commercial that's been airing for the past few months for the N96, and they're using old footage of martial arts icon Bruce Lee. During the ad, Lee is is playing ping pong with nunchuks (in addition to flashing his image on the phone itself).
An Up Close Look at Nokia's N79
I haven't had a Nokia phone in awhile, but what I really do like about their handsets is the fact that they are tried, tested, and true — did you spot all of them in Confessions of a Shopaholic? I happened to get my hands on Nokia's latest handset, the N79, and was amazed at how such a tiny phone (the size of a chocolate bar) can be jam-packed with so many features.
Just looking at aesthetics to start off, the N79 can be personalized with five different colored Xpress-on smart covers for different looks.
Do Cell Phones With GPS Interest You?

With so many new handsets being announced, I enjoy finding out what features are being integrated into the latest and greatest devices. And one of the most popular trends this year is GPS functionality.
