Re: Nokia debt rating downgraded, future not looking so hot

Re: Nokia wants new CEO: Report

Re: [iPhone4] Loses Reception When You Touch the Side (Who says Apple products are "Better Quality"?)

Nah, the conference is just to announce the latest iPhone 4 app which, when the user clicks the phone button, uses the internal GPS navigation to point you to the nearest public phone :D

Re: Is there anyway we can make the fm-transmitter stronger

Yes, that's how you do it. Or you can install FmTx widget which has the option to automatically call FmBoost after turning the transmitter on.
