There have been several new handsets that have hit the market this week, and most of them went to Verizon. Not to be outdone, AT&T and Nokia have announced that a new handset is going to AT&T called the Nokia 6350.

Yesterday we mentioned that Best Buy was going to be the exclusive supplier of the Nokia Booklet 3G netbook. The thing that many of us have been wondering is exactly how much the Booklet 3G would cost once it hit store shelves.

One of the things I always hate the most when my cell phone needs charged is that I know I will end up crawling around under the desk trying to find the cable to plug my phone in. I was so glad when WildCharge came out with a wireless charging solution for the iPhone and gladly gave up my charge and sync port to never have to plug in a wire again. There are lots of companies seeing the potential of wireless power and one of the latest to take up the cause is Nokia.

Nokia's Booklet 3G is still splitting opinion - over-priced netbook or the next phase in smartphone-led mobile computing? - but if you're in the US and are thinking of finding out for yourself then prepare to get down to Best Buy. The company has confirmed that it will be the exclusive retailer for the Booklet 3G in the US.
With only a few days left leading up to CTIA Wireless in San Diego, Verizon wireless pulled out all the stops and announced a boat load of new phones and a new subsidized 3G Gateway netbook. The most impressive handset from the lineup is the HTC Imagio powered by Windows Phone 6.5 aka HTC Touch Diamond 2 (which we’ve reviewed here). Other handsets include a rugged clamshell by Motorola – the Barrage, a unique phone made by Personal Communication Devices (PCD) and finally the Nokia Shade.

It’s looking like the launch of the Nokia N900 has been delayed, with two online retailers pushing back their estimated release dates to the end of October. Amazon UK is now suggesting that the N900 will arrive come October 26th, rather than at the beginning of the month as was previously expected.

Perhaps the stand-out device from Nokia World this year was the N900, the Finnish company’s new internet tablet/smartphone crossover. The final production version still isn’t on the market, but that hasn’t stopped “preview” reviews from those with access to prototypes, covering both Maemo 5 and the N900 hardware itself. My-Symbian have just pushed out a four page article doing just that, and they’re more than a little excited.

Nokia’s N86 NAM edition has finally shown up for sale in the US, offering S60-loving photography addicts what could be the perfect smartphone for their dual desires. Announced all the way back at Mobile World Congress in February, the N86 packs an 8-megapixel camera with autofocus, flash and Carl Zeiss optics, and is priced at $468.99.

Part of Nokia’s challenge to cement the N900 and Maemo is in drawing developers to the open-source platform, and to do that they’ve kicked off PUSH N900, a “unique design, hacking and modding project”. To mark the event – which will see winning proposals rewarded with an N900, funding and support to deliver on their idea – the Finns commissioned four sample projects, inspired by the ’80s and using the N900 in distinctive ways. These ended up including a 3D ViewMaster camera, digital Rolodex, 80’s radio tagger/Last.fm integration, and a Speak and Spell mashup.
