Google has re branded it's Android Market today into something called Play:

Entertainment is supposed to be fun. But in reality, getting everything to work can be the exact opposite—moving files between your computers, endless syncing across your devices, and wires…lots of wires. Today we’re eliminating all that hassle with Google Play, a digital entertainment destination where you can find, enjoy and share your favorite music, movies, books and apps on the web and on your Android phone or tablet. Google Play is entirely cloud-based so all your music, movies, books and apps are stored online, always available to you, and you never have to worry about losing them or moving them again

512Gbps Fibre Optic Network!

Gizmodo has an article posted about 512Gbps fibre optic networking with usable speeds of approx 400Gbps.

400 Gbps. That is mind blowing.
It is also not a white coat lab test. They are actually running this over a 500 mile stretch between Berlin to Hanover!

Deutsche Telekom explains that, if they rolled this out using their usual 48-channel optical fibers, they could achieve a throughput of 24.6Tbps on a cable thinner than a human hair. Whoa.

I wonder what this would cost with our "aggressively priced" Canadian carriers

Nokia just lowered the price of entry on their Lumia line with the Lumia 610. While it sports a 3.7" 800x480 TFT LCD display like the 710 and 800 the rest of the specs are a little more humble. Instead of 512MB of RAM you only get 256MB. 800Mhz processor instead of 1.4Ghz. 5MP f/2.2, 28mm autofocus camera (same as the 710) and 8GB storage (Same as the 710). At 1300mAh The battery is also the same as the 710's.

800Mhz processor
3.7", 800x480 TFT LCD
256MB RAM
8GB storage
5MP camera
f/2.2 , 28mm lens
1300mAh battery
119x62x12mm
131.5g
available in blue, while, black and pink

I'm impressed that Nokia kept a 800x480 display but the 256MB of RAM is a little disappointing. The 800Mhz processor sounds slow but first gen Windows Phone run just fine on a 1Ghz so I'm guessing it will run just fine on a processor that's 20% slower.

What do you think? I'm reviewing a 710 right now and it's a great deal so I'm curious how good the 610 will be.

A few years back HTC released the TYTN. So when they released the Titan recently I got the feeling that they were running out of names. After all, who want's to buy a phone named the HTC RDR, or AMZ? Looks like I was right as they just announced their One series of Smartphones: The One X, S and V, looks like they're set for their next 23 models.

Anyways, all will ship with Android Ice Cream Sandwich plus HTC Sense 4. All have a new HTC ImageChip will allows for capture in 0.7 seconds plus 0.2 second auto-focus times. You can also take a pictures while you're shooting a video. There's also Dropbox integration in Sense 4 plus an accessory for your TV which allows you to share video and photos from your One series phone. Finally all come with Beats By Dr. Dre Audio.

More after the jump.

I agree about objectivity. I didn't see any in your post.

For example, compare HTC to "Android" as you did, or LG, Pantech, Motorola, etc. etc. You compared one OEM who has a proprietary platform...
