Nokia to talk Windows Phone 7 at CES

Nokia CES Press InviteNokia has begun sending out invitations to its CES press conference, like this one received by Engadget, of which the design and “Amazing Everyday” tagline suggests it’ll be focused on their new range of Windows Phone 7 handsets. This is a far cry from last year, when the Finnish company didn’t even attend the show.

At the time they didn’t have much to shout about, and even after the announcement of their partnership with Microsoft, there were no new products unveiled at Mobile World Congress a month later either. So Nokia needs to get their name back out there, especially in the USA.

It’s obvious then, that the event will primarily be about Windows Phone and software related to it. With T-Mobile already announcing that it would be carrying the Lumia 710, could we hear about the Lumia 800 or even the mythical Lumia 900? There’s also the chance Nokia will discuss a 4G LTE Windows Phone too, particularly after being told to offer one – or else – by Verizon, and reports of recent network tests of such a device.

The invite gives nothing away about the content, thanks to some very non-specific blurb, but all will be revealed on January 9 at 3pm PT, which is actually the day before CES officially opens.

AT&T just made it a lot easier to upgrade your phone

Do you want to upgrade your phone more than once a year? What about three times a year? Are you on AT&T? If you answered yes to those questions, then AT&T’s new “Next Up Anytime” early upgrade program is made for you. With this add-on, you’ll be able to upgrade your phone three times a year for just $10 extra every month. It will be available starting July 16.

Currently, AT&T has its “Next Up” add-on, which has been available for the past several years. This program costs $6 extra per month and lets you upgrade by trading in your existing phone after at least half of it is paid off. But the new Next Up Anytime option gives you some more flexibility.

The Nokia 3210 is the worst phone I’ve used in 2024

Where do I even start with the Nokia 3210? Not the original, which was one of the coolest phones to own back in a time when Star Wars: Episode 1 -- The Phantom Menace wasn’t even a thing, but the latest 2024 reissue that has come along to save us all from digital overload, the horror of social media, and the endless distraction that is the modern smartphone.

Except behind this facade of marketing-friendly do-goodery hides a weapon of torture, a device so foul that I’d rather sit through multiple showings of Jar Jar Binks and the gang hopelessly trying to bring back the magic of A New Hope than use it.
The Nokia 3210 really is that bad
