J. Gold Associates predict that in the near fufure, three to six months from now, Google and Nokia will combine their Android and Symbian platforms "to provide a single open source OS". Although there are no signs that somehow prove the aforementioned statement, the source is positively convinced that will happen very soon.

"A combination of the Android and Symbian efforts would be good for the industry, good for Google and good for Symbian", - say analysts.

According to some sources, in the near future Nokia intends to launch its new low-end 2600 cell phone on the AT&T's network. There's nothing interesting to tell about this candybar, and the company apparently targets the mass feature phone market of North America.

No word on the release date and pricing as of yet.

The new Nokia E71 with North American 3G support is now available at the company's flagship store in Chicago. The price is $483, just keep in mind they won't ship the phone outside of the city.

Canadian Rogers now offers a good option for iPhone 3G haters. The carrier has dropped the price for the Nokia N95 all-in-one smartphone to $199. And while you'll still have to agee for a 3-year contract, that's a serious price cut for a serious device, and must not be neglected.

Oh, and don't forget you can also choose that $30 6GB data plan.

Those who intend to buy a Nokia N810 will be glad to hear this. CompUSA has lowered the price for the tablet to just $299. And now compare it to $430 on the Nokia’s site, and $480 on Best Buy. Feel the difference? Then don't waste time and get one while they're still in stock.

AT&T and Nokia were sued by a group that claims the carrier sold used and renewed Nokia cell phones as new ones through its retail stores.

Originally filed in Los Angeles, the the lawsuit was moved to the federal level.

So far none of the companies commented.

Nokia has released a new software update for its N78 handset. The new build v.12.046 includes a number of performance tweaks for softkey selection, Bluetooth stability, video playback, email sending and alarm clock functions.
