You may ask yourself, will I be able to use the same Spirit software that jailbreaks my WiFi model? You may ask yourself, well, did I backup my SHSH blobs?

Where Steve Jobs leads, Microsoft follows — how’s that for shaking up the hornet’s nest?

While the ‘C’ label puts the device squarely in dumbphone territory and the only specs available (320 x 240 display, 2 megapixel camera) don’t belabor that point, split-horizontal keyboards have a special place in our heart, and we eagerly await their return. That said, Nokia better get cracking if they want to beat the MOTOSPLIT — the way we see it, they’re one whole leaked, possibly fake render behind the competition. Read more »
