Leak: Nokia 8208 CDMA Slider

...and what a leak it is: Nokia posted a product page for a forthcoming device called the 8208, with some very Nseries-ish styling (aka anything that looks like an N81). Which would be nothing new, considering that said Nseries-ish styling has been all the rage this year with Nokia's GSM phones. Except that the 8208 isn't a GSM phone, it's CDMA. Interesting...

Nokia's "Open At Own Risk" Site Hits New Low

Early last week Nokia opened up openatownrisk.com, a teaser site that promised "the weirdest clip ever made" sometime on the 7th. Or was that the 8th? Either way, the site has been updated with a Notice of Immediate Termination letter that claims the owner of the site "will stand before trail, accused of intent to publish content driving people insane. Failure to remove the site will result in immediate incarceration."

Wow. Just wow. This has got to be the absolute worst marketing ploy in the history of the Nokia Phone Blog. The only thing that could possibly make it worse would be an announcement for an N85.

Yet Another Weird Nokia Countdown Site Emerges

Forget Nokia's Open to Anything slogan. It's now "Open at Own Risk," Nokia's latest oddball website that opens with a story about unlocking a box containing the "weirdest clip ever made." Uh...right. The important thing to grasp from all this is the countdown, which ends in about 124 hours from now, or sometime on July 8th. Full transcript of the Nokia Open at Own Risk site inside...

Preview: Nokia 7610 Supernova

Four new phones. All part of a new Supernova line that had only been mentioned in hushed rumors. These are not exactly groundbreaking handsets by any means - the focus of Supernova is more on fashion than function. But they're surprisingly feature-packed for the price.

First up: Nokia 7610 Supernova.

The End of Helio: Sold For $39 Mil

Helio, one of America's last great MVNOs, was swept up by Virgin on Friday for the bargain-bin price of $39 million bucks (in stock). Unfortunately, SK Telecom invested something like $500 mil into the troubled operator, so why'd they sell out so easily?
