Mobile advertising growth has slowed sharply over the past few months but is expected to reaccelerate next year, just as a growing number of cellphones built with Google Inc.’s Android software are expected to hit the market.
U.S. advertisers are seen spending $229 million on mobile ads this year, up 26% from $169 million in 2008, according to a report by Brian Wieser, global director of forecasting for Magna, a unit of Interpublic Group of Cos.’ Mediabrands division.
Magna’s last forecast in July 2008 projected mobile ad spending would increase 43% to $298 million in 2009. Still, Wieser said despite the slowdown over the past several months, mobile ads remain one of the fastest growing emerging mediums on Madison Avenue. Magna predicted that mobile ad spending could nearly double by 2011, reaching $409 million.
It’s all sketchy at the moment but Nokia is supposedly in the works of a new E71i. Building on the sexy looks and slim full QWERTY form factor, Finns are trying to squeeze a 5 megapixel CCD sensor at the back and feature pack 2 in the inners of S60. It’s all nice and sweet to better your best and keep on milking the cash cow but what about a better screen and a release date tomorrow?
Nokia E52 comes as the successor of Nokia E51. It features QVGA display, 3.2-megapixel camera, GPS, Wi-Fi, stereo Bluetooh and microSDHC card slot. The 1500mAh battery will last for about 28 days in standby mode (GSM) or 8 hours of talk talk time.
The Nokia E52 is expected to start sales in the second half of 2009 at an estimated retail price, before taxes or subsidies, of EUR 245.

The BlackBerry Curve 8520 gets reviewed by the folks at Crackberry. You can find their huge review here
Rumors of a new BlackBerry with the codename “Gemini” have been running around the interwebs since early 2009, evolving slightly with every new blog post made about it. After some back and forth on device model number (previously labeled as the 8325 after some initial confusion), the prevailing thought on what has been now named the BlackBerry 8520 is that would it would be a new “low end” EDGE-only addition to the popular Curve line. In other words, the Curve 8520 was not something to get too excited about.
