Nokia cuts phone prices across the board, S60 biting deep into dumbphone territory

The company notes that this is nothing more than a regularly-scheduled adjustment, but for what it’s worth, Nokia has quietly lowered prices across its entire range, in some cases by as much as 10 percent — nothing to sneeze at. Notably, the S60 5th Edition -based 5230 is now selling for €170 (about $239) in Finland, making it considerably cheaper than dozens of mid- to high-end feature phones — an interesting reversal of fortune that puts Nokia precisely where it says it wants to be for positioning S60 as The People’s Platform as it sprinkles Maemo through the upper end of the lineup. Where this ultimately leaves Series 40 remains to be seen, but at the rate these guys are going, it may not matter in a year or two.

Samsung S5620 ‘Monte’ possibly leaked, looks better than it sounds

We know the FCC’s already gotten a gander at this thing, but the general public… well, that’s another story altogether. Daily Mobile has a bunch of shots of what it claims to be Sammy’s upcoming S5620 Monte, a silly name from a company that certainly hasn’t shied away from funny branding in the past (one quick look at the Corby or Rant should be able to verify that for you). Anyhow, we’re told to expect a TouchWiz-powered feature phone here with a 3-inch display, HSDPA, and a 3.5mm headphone jack which you can clearly see in some of the pictures. A quick look at the FCC filing also reveals WiFi, though the lack of WCDMA testing indicates that we won’t have 850 or 1900MHz 3G support — in other words, North Americans are out of luck as usual. If we had to guess, this one might get the covers pulled off at MWC next month.

Lindsey Vonn Criticizes Watered Down Course After 19th-Place Finish

Filed under: USA , Alpine Skiing CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — Lindsey Vonn was encouraged simply by making it to the finish Sunday in her weakest discipline, giant slalom. The 19th-place result wasn’t exactly what she was aiming for after consecutive victories in super-G and downhill the past two days, however, and Vonn was again critical of the way officials injected the course with water to create a more icy surface. “Here in Cortina it’s the best snow on earth — it doesn’t get any better than this. They had a perfect track and in my opinion they ruined it,” Vonn said. “There’s no need whatsoever for injection on this hill.”   Permalink  |  Email this  |  Linking Blogs  |  Comments

Vonn Continues to Rule Downhill

Filed under: USA , Alpine Skiing CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — In three weeks, the only things that will matter for Lindsey Vonn will be gold, silver or bronze. Saturday, however, was a day for milestones. Vonn made it five wins in five downhills this season. Her 30th World Cup victory tied her with Croatia’s Janica Kostelic for eighth place on the career list and nearly halfway to Austrian leader Annemarie Moser-Proell’s 62 wins. “It’s crazy! When she was dominating the World Cup I thought she was unbeatable,” Vonn said, referring to Kostelic. “She was so good – too good – and I don’t really see myself as the person that’s got the same amount of wins that she has. She is just as big a legend in ski racing as Moser-Proell or (Renate) Goetschl. She’s a huge name.”   Permalink  |  Email this  |  Linking Blogs  |  Comments

Evan Lysacek’s Coach Thinks 1980 Olympics Were Rigged

Filed under: Figure Skating One of the reasons many sports fans don’t take figure skating seriously is because the winner is determined by judges. Boxing has judges too, but frequently they’re rendered unnecessary because one fighter pounds the other into goo. That’s not the case in skating. Eight years ago, a coalition of Olympic figure skating judges told everybody they didn’t see what they swore they saw. It looked like the Canadian pair of Jamie Salé and David Pelletier had outskated Russia’s Yelena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze, but the judges said otherwise. Eventually a French judge admitted she was pressured to give the gold to the Russians. Apparently, that wasn’t the first time something like this had happened. Or so says legendary figure skating coach Frank Carroll.   Permalink  |  Email this  |  Linking Blogs  |  Comments
