Are you looking forward to Microsoft’s first mobile phone offerings, the Kin One and Two? If so, then this particular bit of news will be music to your ears. According to this internal memo nabbed by Slashphone , the Kin One and Two will be ready for pre-order beginning May 6th on Verizon in the US, and will become available at “all channels on May 13th.” Pricing, unfortunately, is still a mystery, but we hear that it could retail for less than $150 when purchased with a contract. If these Kin phones look familiar, that’s because they’re one and the same as the rumored Project Pink phones .

Last Monday a short rant of impressions about upcoming, yet unannounced Nokia N8 handset, and other things Nokia, caused quite a firestorm of negative publicity about Finnish cellphone giant. It seems that almost every tech news site, and even some mainstream news outlets, picked up the line, that Nokia screwed up their upcoming flagship again. Most likely, it even made Nokia announce their new N8 handset several weeks earlier then planned. The author of that explosive missive was Eldar Murtazin, Editor in Chief of a well known Russian mobile gadget site Mobile-review.com . Now, that with the help of extremely fast reaction, well executed launch campaign, and completely unexpected low price of N8 , Nokia managed to turn most of the skeptics into believers, I got in touch with Eldar to find out what he really thinks about Nokia N8.

Nintendo announced this morning that not only are they releasing the elusive black Wii in the United States on May 9th, but that they will also start bundling all sorts of bonus goodies with every Wii they sell. While pricing will remain at $199.99 (USD) for the Wii, each console will now include Wii Sports Resort and a Wii MotionPlus accessory in every box. That’s in addition to the already included Wii-mote, Nunchuk and Wii Sports in every package. If I’m doing my math right, that’s about a $40 bucks worth of extra schwag with every system.
