Nokia's "highest production value" N-Gage game Reset Generation will be given away for free on PC
OK, so Nokia’s making a game called Reset Generation for its N-Gage platform. It used to be called “Project White Rock”, but now it has a proper name. And very nice it sounds too. Well done to all at the focus group.

Analysts claim O2's mobile broadband is overpriced and too exclusive
It appears I wasn’t the only one concerned about O2’s mobile broadband, which launched last Friday. Analyst firm Ovum (not related to this ovum) has reported that their package is overpriced, and too exclusive.
