PS3 Controller Fashioned From Nokia N900
The Nokia n900 is not a cool phone, OK? It's just not. But I admit, it can do some cool stuff, like play Duke Nukem 3D and double as a PS3 controller with the help of BlueMaemo. [MaemoCentral via MAKE]
#cellphones

But Does It Play Duke Nukem 3D?
Yes, the Nokia n900 runs Duke Nukem 3D like a champ. Make sure to watch the clip to see for yourself, because this meme won't memify itself. [recombu]

Nokia Taunts Us With Its 6700 Classic in 18-Carat Gold
Oh, Nokia, when we sniffed at your desire to focus on just mid-to-low end phones for 2010, we didn't mean for you to rush out and paint your 6700 Classic in 18-carat gold. [Nokia Conversations]

I Guess Nokia Doesn't Need a Flagship Phone Store If No One Wants Their Flagship Phones
Nokia's closing their Regent Street flagship store, due to poor foot traffic and sales. They'd invested £4 million in the location, right across the street from Apple's Regent Street shop. Nice shop, but we saw this coming. [BusinessTimes via FSJ]

Nokia to Halve Smartphone Production in 2010, Official Suicide Watch Starts Now

Nokia Previews Faster, Prettier Symbian User Interface for 2010
We were surprised yesterday to hear that Nokia is moving ahead with both Symbian and Maemo phones, but reassured by their admission that the Symbian UI kinda blows. Well, now we have juicy screenshots of improvements they've got in mind. More »

Nokia Has No Plans To Give Up On Symbian Or Maemo
Symbian's problem isn't that it lacks capabilities, it's with the user experience: namely the clunky, awkward, and occasionally terrible S60 interface. Enter Maemo, to save the day! And also, apparently, a newer, friendlier Symbian. Nokia wants to get better, please. More »

The Nokia N900 Isn't A Phone, It's A Psychotic Shapeshifter
While we've been sitting, waiting, wishing for the Nokia N900, we missed something very important: It's not a phone. As this Nokia ad shows, it's actually a psychotic shapeshifter. At least I think that's the message they're trying to send. More »

Nokia Patent Gives Another Glimpse Into World's Touchy-Feely Future
Gadget patents are a strange lot. Is that dual-handed interface for an iTablet, or something else? Will my remote really Tweet someday? Probably not, but this patent from Nokia had me thinking of a touch- and, more importantly, pressure-sensitive future: More »

Waiting for a Nokia N900? Keep Waiting
Apparently the handset has been delayed until November. The good news, as BGR points out, is that the n900 supports T-Mobile 3G. So assuming Project Black means cheap plans, the timing could actually work out well for prospective buyers. [BGR]

Told Ya Nokia Was Doomed
While most of Nokia's billion dollar loss comes from its network equipment side, it's worth noting their global marketshare has tumbled again, down to the 35 percent, from 41 percent last quarter. It used to be over 50. Anyone wanna guess where it's stopping? [Nokia]
