Blackberry rehab is coming for closet iPhone fans.
Here’s something to help Blackberry and Nokia users transfer easily to an iPhone: introducing the Nuu MiniKey – an iPhone 4 case with a slide-out keyboard.
Yes, to some of us this is complete heresy – but we can understand that there are closet iPhanatics out there that want the awesomeness of an iPhone 4 AND the simplicity of a keyboard no matter how wrong that may be.
And so, now the Nuu MiniKey is coming to Hong Kong (debuting at January’s CES 2011) and not only can you buy them in stores we’re giving away a few of them to Neonpunch readers.

Is this their deathbed or the future of their success?
You’ve no doubt heard about Nokia’s ‘Star Trek First Contact” strategy over the past weeks with the superphone company ditching their Symbian and MeeGo operating systems and going “all-in” with Microsoft and adopting their Windows Phone 7 OS to gain back their market share in the world market.
This is past “game changing” this is “life changing” – Nokia’s move decimates jobs, shakes up worldwide partnerships and erupts the playing field for smartphone OS dominance – for better or worse – forever. One thing for sure, Nokia CEO Stephen Elop is pulling some serious Jean-Luc Picard manuevers and he will be followed closely to see if his plan against the Borg other smartphone makers was the right one.
Now that you’ve no doubt been involved in many debates yourselves we want to hear what your thoughts on this: Is the iPhone doomed? Is Android over? Or has Nokia signed its own suicide note?

Nokia’s last chance is now available for pre-order.
Well, the Nokia N8 looks good – as good as an iPhone-styled device running Symbian can look!
Does the Nokia N8 have a chance outside the most die-hard Nokia fans (yes there are some) to gain more marketshare? The Ovi app store is supposedly doing very well and is the N8 another chance to make things right for Nokia? We just can’t see it happening as they grasp on to the Symbian operating system where everyone has moved on for better or for worse.
We’d love to hear what you think of this device. More details and buying incentives from 1O1O listed below which sounds like nirvana for Nokia fans:

Nokia Hong Kong goes back-to-basics with the 6700 Slide.
While multi-touch smartphones are being released left right and center Nokia Hong Kong has released a non-touch non-smartphone.
Huh? Well, we guess there is still a market for phones that just make calls and have better battery lives for business professionals. The Nokia 6700 Slide is a straight up phone that goes back to basics and is the perfect phone for people who just like to keep things nice and simple.
But it can still access all your social media, so how basic is it really?
