We just got the announcement, iPhone OS 3.0 is coming. Set your clocks, mark your calendars. It’s going down March 17th. Apparently, we’ll get a sneak peak at the new OS, as well as a look at a brand new version of the SDK.

My buddy Titanas unboxes the Nokia E75 Chrome. The new addition to the E-series has a full side-sliding QWERTY keyboard. This is a form-factor widely available in HTC smartphones but not something typical for Nokia. Other features include GPS navigation, 3.2-megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth and microSDHC card slot.

Nokia’s market share fell by 10 percentage points to 40.8% in Q4, largely on strength of RIM and Apple.

Worldwide smartphone sales grew 3.7% on the year to 38.1 million units in the fourth quarter 2008, research firm Gartner said Wednesday.

As a proportion of all mobile device sales, smartphones remained relatively stable at 12% in the fourth quarter, compared to 11% a year earlier.
