Someone decided to customize their Nokia N73 with crossbones on the back.

Francesco Cara is speaking at the 2008 LIFT Conference about how Nokia has grown in terms of how their devices interact with the ecosystems around them. He notes that the iPhone takes a very desktop oriented approach in terms of how to operate the device and most curiously praises Palm for their user centric design efforts. Great way to kill 18 minutes this weekend:

Nokia N95 8GB firmware update has auto rotation built inSure, you might already be rocking that cool RotateMe hack on your Nokia N95, but there's nothing like a little manufacturer-sanctioned love straight from Espoo to make you fall in love with screen-rotation on your N95. A new firmware (v20.0.016) is available for the Nokia N95 8GB (sorry folks, only the European N95-2 is supported for now) that comes with built-in support for the automatic screen rotation feature that the iPhone made so popular (sorry, I had to get that in there).

You can enable and disable the screen rotation feature at will, so there's basically no reason not to download and install this latest firmware for your Nokia N95 8GB. That is, unless you're rocking the N95 8GB NAM (N95-4), in which case, you'll need to wait it out a bit longer.

Grab the new firmware here.

Hop-On Disposable Cell Phones Surging In Europe

Hop-On recently announced that sales of their low end disposable cell phones are really catching on in Europe. The company just received an order for 150,000 low end GSM mobile phones that don’t have an LCD screen and operate on GSM networks.

“We are getting so many inquiries about the ‘disposable cell phone’ in Europe and the Middle East,
we will be hiring additional support to meet the market demands. We will not have any manufacturing issues in the low cost 900/1800 MHz phone utilizing both Texas Instruments chip sets and Infineon chip sets as they are proven technology.”

“This is our biggest opportunity to actually have Hop-on become a household name in the US and throughout Europe. No one sells a new 10 pounds Sterling GSM cell phone. This is a home run for Hop-on. While we are excited about the interest generated in the European Markets, we don’t currently have the resources to market our new disposable cell phone in the United States. This will come in time. We want to focus on the European and Middle East markets and then hire the
personnel necessary to do it right in America!” said Peter Michaels, President of Hop-on.
