ESPOO, Finland – We were looking back at the activity across our streams. Comments, views, hits, and stuff all pretty much point to the same top stories that generated the most debate and comments (listed below). I want to point out that we are rapidly approaching that tipping point where the great comments are starting to overwhelm us. That’s the bad side of abundance and we are working hard to keep this whole endeavor interactive in the coming year (with the occasional moments of bankruptcy permitted when things get really hairy).
I also want to use this moment to thank all of you for making this site what it truly is meant to be, a place for us to all talk about stories from around the Nokia neighborhood. Without all of you, we would be just a bunch of hot air.
Now to the top debates of the year!

ESPOO, Finland – First we had real phones available in real shops spurning real fakes. Then real phones that weren’t available, being faked. Now we have phones that aren’t even real being faked. Go figure. I found out via Unwired View that Mobile Mentalism found some pics of a Chinese phone that is based on nothing more than a Nokia patent.

GLOBAL – Floods of Nokia N96 handsets have begun their exodus from factory to shop floor, with shipping beginning today. Hardly in need of introduction, the newest Nseries unquestionably out-muscles the N95 8GB in face-off features stakes – it comes loaded with 16GB of storage coupled with optional microSD card slot that’ll suck up to 24GB of extra memory, supports live TV (if you’re region supports DVB-H), and my personal favourite… the kickstand!
