Nokia doesn't have a great many phones that combine a touch screen and a hardware QWERTY and that's quite a popular combo, just look at all those Androids.

Aside from the Nokia N97 and N97 mini, the Maemo-powered Nokia N900 was the other touchscreen QWERTY phone. And now, there’s the Nokia C6 3.2 inch nHD touchscreen and a four row QWERTY keyboard are its claim to fame

The looks of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and the brains of Nokia N97 mini – that's the shortest way to describe the C6. It has the 5800 beat in terms of features and pricetag it's mainly the keyboard and the 5MP camera that put it closer to the N97 mini.

It doesn’t have the 8GB built-in memory of the mini though, or the 8GB microSD card of the 5800 just a 2GB card, but that’s enough to get you started. Other than that, the box doesn’t contain more than the basics hit the video to see our quick unboxing and tinkering around.

Microsoft confirms Windows Phone 7 manufacturers: ASUS, Dell, HTC, LG, and Samsung

Microsoft is no stranger to having partners galore in the phone business, but its lineup of manufacturers for the upcoming, surprisingly promising Windows Phone 7 launch is no less impressive. After plenty of rumoring, Microsoft has confirmed that Dell and HTC will be making Windows Phone 7 phones, in addition to ASUS, LG, and Samsung who had already been confirmed. All of these companies should have their stamp on hardware by the end of the year, with the launch of the OS still vaguely slated for the "holidays" We have no doubt that all five manufacturers can build some compelling, sexy hardware, but we're particularly enthused to see Dell really getting into the game after the impressive Streak and that drool worthy leak a little while back.

Microsoft to employees: "Everybody gets a Windows Phone 7!"

Microsoft guru extraordinaire Mary Jo Foley has retweeted a company employee boasting of a commitment to hand out Windows Phone 7 devices to each and every one of Redmond's 90,000-plus employees around the world. That's certainly one way to spread the word and realistically, the cost to Microsoft is a drop in the bucket if they can really take advantage of the word of mouth advertising effect here. Of course, step one in that process is going to be making sure the product is absolutely rock solid by the time those gratis units start getting handed out. 

A Funny Sticker to laugh at Apple...What started as a concept has landed bee achieved as a buyable product: the 'End Call' vinyl sticker. As expected, you simply place this guy over the iPhone 4's "weak spot" and then press it whenever you'd like to conveniently drop whatever call you're on. This Funny Sticker will cost you $4 ONLY and enjoy a New way of Ending calls! :)

Apple Users been on the receiving end of a deluge of tips this morning pointing out that Apple has begun funneling cash back into its users' pockets a most unusual event, to be sure to live up to its retroactive promise of free Bumpers for all (who buy their iPhone 4 before September 30). If the particular wording is to be trusted, that should mean that even those who haven't yet bothered to put in a claim, but did purchase a Bumper, will find themselves enriched in due course. Apple estimates this bandaid solution to its antenna problems will cost $175 million. This will cheer many of apples customers!
