e71x 150x150 E71x official on at&t, $99 with two year contractIt’s official.  After speculation, push-backs, and leaked information, at&t has officially confirmed that the E71x will be available soon.  Priced at $99 with a two-year contract, the all black E71x is looking good.  No word yet on the firmware, which is rumored to be SP2, an upgrade from the original E71’s FP1.  I’m also wondering how badly at&t has crippled the firmware with at&t “improvements”, but we’ll just need to wait and see.

nokia 150x150 Nokia announces 1,700 job cutsWe’re in a recession.  Unfortunatly Nokia sales have been declining a bit, they spent $1B on Symbian, and they’re crushing to two companies into one : Nokia.  Between these factors, there was a little bit of “title-overlay”, meaning too many people employed to do the same job.

In order to stay profitable, Nokia was forced to cut 1700 jobs.  Story via NokiaUsers.net
