Weird Nokia ‘N00 Prototype C’ shows up on eBay, possible N86 8MP successor?
With the N8 and the E7 stealing most of Nokia's Symbian -flavored spotlight right now, it's easy to forget that numeric keypads and sliders aren't necessarily dead and gone -- but a strange prototype that's shown up on eBay's German site suggests that Espoo might still be hard at work on the form factor currently championed by the N86 8MP .

Apple patches iOS 4 Exchange issue
It hasn't gotten quite the attention of the iPhone 4's antenna problems or its proximity sensor troubles , but iOS 4 has caused some heartbreak for corporate users who connect to Exchange servers -- checking mail or syncing contact and calendars can stall out interminably, with no option but to restart and try again. We've definitely had this problem ourselves, but happily Apple's right on the case with this one -- iOS 4 users who need to get their Exchange on can download an updated configuration file that seems to make things better. The new settings don't seem to do much other than increase iOS 4's idle timeout, but if it works, it works -- and in our limited testing things appear to be going swimmingly

White iPhone 4: early DIY edition, with a touch of black
Sorry, we couldn't wait -- having spent 11 hours on the streets waiting for the iPhone 4 , it's only natural to give our precious new toy some extra special care. With the help of iFixit's teardown guide , we decided to take the plunge with our steaming hot Chinese delivery -- a white front cover (with a shiny proximity sensor area above the earpiece), a white back cover (with "XXXXX" marked as the model number, ergo a prototype), and a Retina Display unit. Alas, there weren't any white buttons in stock at the time, but let's pretend this black-and-white combo is the new cool

Confirmed: Droid Incredible’s multitouch support is better than the Nexus One’s
You might recall that fascinating video a while back showing the Nexus One's touch sensor getting all discombobulated when the tester's multitouch fingerwork started to get a little too fancy, and now, Android Central has confirmed that Verizon's Droid Incredible doesn't suffer the same fate -- but why is that, exactly? Android and Me is reporting that the Droid Incredible and EVO 4G both employ an Atmel maXTouch sensor with unlimited touch support -- a relatively new product launched in late '09 -- whereas the Nexus One is using Synaptics' older ClearPad 2000, which was designed to top out with simple two-finger gestures like pinch zoom. The upshot?

Moject prototype combines pico projector, smartphone and motion gaming (video)
As if Sony's PlayStation Move , Nintendo's Wii and Microsoft's Project Natal weren't evidence enough, we're here to inform you that motion gaming is here to stay... for awhile, anyway. One area where it hasn't quite taken over in full force is the mobile sector, but Dave & Adie are angling to change that

Sony Ericsson Vivaz review
Sony Ericsson's no stranger to phones with decent cameras, and the Vivaz with European 3G frequencies aims to be one of them; after all these months we've finally got hold of this S60 device, which is the first phone capable of continuous autofocus on 720p video recording courtesy of its speedy 720MHz Coretx A8 and PowerVR GPU. Compared to its predecessor, the Vivaz bears a similar button layout and GUI to the Satio 's, but lacks a front-facing camera, Fast Port ( replaced by a micro-USB port and 3.5mm headphone jack), and a slide cover for the camera.
