No, but I still remember one funny guy long time ago who tried to get the attention of one cute
(finnish variation of) 7-11 girl by buying a (finnish variation of) Playboy and one (finnish variation of a)
donut, trying to connect.

American style donuts and extreme overweight is increasing, though, but the most famous
sillycone installing entrepreneur went bankrupt, the diversity of wobbling Q-values
will maybe continue as a normal part of everyday life.

The "Magic Sauce" is also arriving through Harry Potter flying his little stick, but on the
other hand showing little male organs is no problem in

No need to be twice amputated like the Great Duck.

Carranzito, the holy tango-war between Argentine and Finland is also over and settled, the
connections are made not just by tango, but also paper, forrestry,etc and obviously mobile
phones. (something about adding a footnote "invented in Argentine" on every tango
related product??)

Which obviously brings the connection back to the (donut) sugar and music of Cuba, was
tango really invented there and how is the sugar business doing.

>> Nokia Color Screen Cell Phone Seen

Nokia, the world’s largest handset maker, will launch two new mobile phones on Monday including one with a big color screen in an attempt to match products from rivals, Swedish media reported on Friday.

Nokia declined to comment on the two models, which look like a direct challenge to recently launched and well-received devices from arch rival Sony Ericsson like the T68 model, which has a color screen, and the cheaper T65.

Swedish media reported, without citing sources but displaying photos showing the devices, that Nokia would unveil the 7650 color-screen phone and the 5210 device, targeted at the youth market, at the Nokia Mobile Internet conference in Barcelona on Monday.

Nokia phone launches are important for the industry because of the Finnish company’s number-one position in handsets, with a 34 percent shares of the global market.

Helsinki-based brokers said Nokia shares turned to positive territory in part due to the media reports, trading 1.7 percent higher at 28.40 euros ($25.13) at 1425 GMT in firm market.

"We do not confirm nor comment on the speculations in the Swedish media," Nokia spokesman Tapio Hedman told Reuters.

Nokia has previously said it planned to discuss new product news at the Barcelona conference, which runs until Wednesday.

"We have not made any new product announcements since the 5510... We do not pre-announce phone launches," Hedman said.

The 5510, which doubles up as a music player and features a keyboard for text typing, was unveiled last month, and that device also appeared in the media prior to the official launch.

The 7650, which would be Nokia’s first color display phone, has a large screen covering most of the device with a joy stick - like Sony Ericsson’s T68 - to navigate through the menu, according to images shown on several Swedish Internet sites.

Underneath the cover rests a standard phone keyboard, which slides out from underneath for use. Analysts expected the phone to be priced at the higher end of the market.

Nokia has been pressed to unveil more advanced models since Sony Ericsson, a recently formed mobile phone venture, launched the T68 in Europe and other mobile Internet-enabled devices.

Nokia was expected to launch a color-screen phone before the summer of 2002, probably in the second quarter.

"It is therefore possible that Nokia has been forced to speed up the timetable due to Ericsson T68’s success. We therefore expect 7650 to be launched already during Q1, 2002," Mandatum Stockbrokers said in a research note.

It was unclear if the two devices would run GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) technology currently being rolled out in Europe, which offer speedy and "always-on" Internet connection.

But the 7650 was expected to be a challenger to devices, like Samsung’s, powered by Microsoft Stinger operating system and Internet browser, which has not yet hit the market.

Analyst expected the 7650 to have Web-friendly Java software and multimedia messaging service (MMS), which is seen replacing popular SMS text messaging. MMS will allow users to send long messages, pictures and audio to other users.

Earlier this year Nokia said it would have 50 million mobile phones powered with Java, which lets users download games and other programs from the Internet, on the market next year.

Nokia also said it planned to launch several new products by the third quarter next year which have Java.

Java-enabled handsets and color screens have become a huge success in Japan, the most advanced mobile Internet country. <<
