Here are some notes from Intel’s “breaking news” conference call with Anand Chandrasekher, Intel senior vice president and general manager, Ultra Mobility Group and Kai Öistämö, Executive Vice President, Devices, Nokia. Intel and Nokia have formed a long-term strategic partnership to create an open standard for a new mobile computing platform built upon Linux-based operating systems. Intel will acquire a Nokia HSPA/3G modem IP license for use in future products — will complement Intel’s Wi-Fi and WiMax offerings.

Yesterday, Paul of N97Geeks.com , put his White N97 through a series of stress tests, including a scratch test where he tried hard to scratch the front screen of his precious N97 using, A coin, a Key, and the supplied Stylus. If that wasn’t enough, he then placed his N97 into a tip tie plastic bag, filled it with coins, keys, and other sharp objects in the hope to simulate an in-pocket experience, and gave it a good shake.

Last night, Dan Carter of WorldofNokia sent me a text to let me know, that he, and several other lucky Bloggers had been invited by WOM World Nokia to head off to Germany to visit the Carl Zeiss Optic’s Factory in Germany, and that many photos, and videos will follow over the coming few days.  Seeing as I didn’t get an invite this time round, I will do my best to cover the tour right here on NokiaUsers.

Fellow Nokiausers writer, Robert Hall recently covered the Nokia N97 Launch Live, streaming video as it happened, right from the Nokia Flagship Store in Regent Street London. If you missed this live stream, don’t worry, you can still catch it here on Robert’s QIK page .

We started missing Italian food after coming back from vacation so we went to Bravo Cucina Italiana in West Nyack, NY to feed the craving. I had the Nokia E75 with me for photo samples and share with you what we had for dinner.

You may remember a post I made quite a while ago about Aptana Studio and how I created a simple Web Runtime widget (WRT) for Nokia Experts. Downloading and installing this small widget (visit this site to get it) lets you have an icon-based link to the RSS feed for this blog.

Do you have a Nokia N97 or are you thinking about getting one? The widget support on the home/standby screen is one of the slickest features of this new device and there is a new contest going on where you create a widget using their four step process to have a chance at winning one of 10 Nokia N97 devices. It appears that the widgets you design for this competition are different RSS feed options to give you data “as it happens”.
