Tweetdeck, the wildly popular social networking client, has just released a beta version of Tweetdeck for Android. Tweetdeck puts your Twitter, Foursquare, Facebook and Buzz feeds all into the same column with a very nice UI. To get the beta, go to http://www.tweetdeck.com/api/android_whitelist/ and sign in with your TweetDeck account, then they will send instructions for how to download Tweetdeck for Android. Remember, this is still a beta version and is not complete yet, so it may be still buggy.

It seems if you are one of those who wishes to dip your feet in Windows Phone 7 waters, Orange will be your first port of call. HTC have announced they are shipping an as yet undisclosed handset to AT&T in the US and Orange here in the UK. It’s quite possible the undisclosed device will turn out to be HTC’s symphonically named Schubert handset, the so far only device to have surfaced running Redmond’s much hyped mobile OS. Orange has traditionally been one of the main providers of Windows Mobile handsets, from the SPV branded HTC devices such as the SPV C500 to HTC’s own branded devices like the Touch Diamond and the HD2. The Windows Phone 7 reboot of the aging OS however is not without its controversy and with iOS and especially Android, there is more than one player in the mobile OS game. Certainly, it will be one of the most interesting releases of the year – Q4 can’t come soon enough.

Engadget has received some photos of what seems to be the unannounced and unreleased Dell Thunder. It seems to have Android 2.1 and a 4.1″ capacitive touch screen at 800×480, an 8 MP camera, 720p video recording and a 1400 mAh battery. However, no word on internal storage or processor speed but expect a 1GHz Snapdragon.
The BlackBerry Curve 3G has not changed too much compared to its predecessor, the 8520, but the big difference is the added bonus of 3G.
There are also a couple of physical changes. The 9300 now has a chrome bezel similar to the 9700 and its battery cover is also new. No longer smooth but now with a kind of mottled affect.
With the UK carriers yet to announce which if them will sell the 9300 we are still in the dark when it comes to pricing but in the meantime we will crack on with the review.
Check out the unboxing video below.
Well it seems Nokia is going down the cryptic route, as they have been sending out messages to many bloggers around the world, including Matt Davis from tracyandmatt.co.uk. His message was in the personal messages section of the London Evening Standard. It simply said, “Hi Matt Davis, Big things come in small packages. The times is coming when all will be revealed.”
The other bloggers who also received the cryptic messages are saying that they got a small package from Nokia, but are told to be quiet about what is inside. Many people are thinking that it has something to do with the new Nokia N8. But, I guess it is only a matter of time before we find out.

Over the past 24 hours bloggers and journalists around the world have started to receive cryptic messages through newspapers from Nokia and WOMworld.
I too received a message through the London Evening Standard in the personal message section. The message simply reads: “Hi Matt Davis, Big things come in small packages. The times is coming when all will be revealed.” certainly cryptic enough!
So what does it mean? Well I’ve heard that other bloggers have now received a small package from Nokia but they are being tight lipped about the contents. My suspicion is that it’s something to do with their new N8 handset. Time will tell of course so watch this space for updates!
