One leak is nice, but not all that uncommon. Getting two or three leaks at once from the same company is, by all means, a rare treat. But four? Thats like finding a pot of gold while flying through space in your cold fusion powered hover car.
Some in-the-know Nokian pushed a big photoset of unreleased devices to Flickr. Whether it was an intentional leak or someone just forgot to make the album private, we might never know. It’s since been pulled, but GSM Arena nabbed’em before they went down.
Nokia N85
So far, the N85 is lookin’ like a prettier N95. Both are 2-way sliders with 5 megapixel AutoFocus Carl Zeiss cameras. The N85 appears to pull a lot, both aesthetically and functionally, from the recently released N78 — especially with use of what appears to be a touch d-pad (NaviWheel)
N79
Though it’s the numerical successor to the N78, it seems a bit less visually influenced by it than the N85 above. The keypad is a bit more standard than it’s numerical younger brother. It’s hard to tell from the picture whether or not that ring around the D-Pad is a NaviWheel, but it’d be surprising if the N79 dropped the feature. Expect it to be 3G, and running Symbian S60.
Nokia 5800 XpressMedia (Tube)
This is certainly the best lookin’ use of the Xpress name thus far. 3.2 Megapixel Carl Zeiss camera with dual flash, huge ol’ resistive touch screen. I’m not a massive fan of the “Tube” nickname; unless you can put a series of them together to build the web, it’s not a tube.
Nokia 6260:
This is the second Nokia we’ve discussed lately that rehashes a model number already in use. Nokia’s not exactly running out of numbers, so whats up? Tryin’ to make it harder to off’em on eBay?

Maybe this motion picture won’t suck after all.
The Bierstick is a syringe for beer. For some reason. It grants to drink 24 ounces in less than two seconds—probably breaking your throat in the process if you’re not an expert—and it’s FDA-approved for use in swimming pool and lingerie celebrations. The Bierstick only costs $20, plus the $500 you would probably need to pay for the busty girl in white undies required for it to work properly, according to the photos in the instruction manual.
Do you plan on upgrading your now-obsolete iPhone on July 11th? Great—good for you huge spender. Here’s the skinny. AT&T informed us that anyone who bought an iPhone after May 27th will be able to swap out their handset with no additional charges for an iPhone 3G. What about everyone else? If you signed a 2-year contract with AT&T when the iPhone came out (which you pretty much had to), you’ll have to sign another new 2-year contract to score a new iPhone 3G. The good news is that AT&T will grant you to overwrite your old contract with your new contract. In other words, you’re just locked into another 2 years, not 3.
