Mobile Today revealed a £100 price cut on the 8GB version of the Apple iPhone. The "promotional" price will come in effect from Wednesday 16th April running until 1 June, coincidently the rumoured date the new iPhone2 is slated to be announced/released.
An O2 spokesman said:
'The special offer will make the iPhone an unbeatable proposition in the market, helping O2 to further gain market share.'
Unlucky for those wanting the 16GB version, it is not included in this promotional price drop.
This is evidently clear that stores are trying to get rid of stock which most likely will become redundant upon release of the iPhone2, unless of course you are a sucker and still opt to pay for that!
iPhone Price Slashed? iPhone 2 Announcement Imminent?

Leaked Sony Ericsson Beibei?
Not sure on the details (my Chinese isn't up to scratch) but could these be pictures of the upcoming rumoured UIQ handset from Sony Ericsson codenamed "beibei"? There are no details except just some pictures, but from looking at them, we can expect a Camera, WiFi, Bluetooth and most likely UIQ 3.0, oh and a bug from the looks of it!

Dope Wars + iPhone = iDope
If you're cool, and always wanted to be a drug dealer (or maybe was just interested for "educational" purposes) but never had the courage (or the stupidity) to do it for real, there is a likely chance you've played Dope Wars. Yes dope wars let's you trade "dope" and build your empire!.
Now a native version for the iPhone is available (you will need to have a jailbroken iPhone or iPod Touch).
Now you can deal drugs from the comfort of your home, toilet, privacy wherever you want, and all for FREE!
Don't forget; sell when it's high and buy when it's low, and watch out for the popo!

Nokia Tube Revealed!
With all the recent rumours of Nokia's "iPhone killer" being touted around the internet, my head was spinning. We knew the code name was Tube (for some strange reason) but now the rumours have a picture to it! Yes, Symbian-Freak has revealed pictures of the so called "Tube" phone from Nokia.
Hinting that the device's real name is something different to Tube (thank heavens), he also reveals it will not be an N Series device. This I expected as much.
The brief specs for the moment are as follows:
3"-3.5" (16:9) touch screen (No multi-touch, but has tactile feedback)
Camera with autofocus
Quad Band
Bluetooth, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, WLAN
Built in GPS supporting Geotagging
For the full story head on over to Symbian-Freak's website.
Mobile Photography Focus
As I promised and am still trying to keep it. This week's Mobile Photography Focus is on my new Macbook, a very recent purchase and one of the many factors keeping me busy from blogging. Yes the Macbook and also my ISP, I am in the process of changing them as I type.
I'm currently blogging this from Over The Air event being held at the Imperial College in London during the 4th and 5th of April. So far it has been pretty intense and more on this will follow later.
But for now I will leave you with a few pictures taken with my Nokia 95 (currently on it's deathbed, yes it's getting old!).
Remember you can find my previous Mobile Photography Focus posts and pictures by either selecting the tags here on my blog and also by visiting my Flickr Set.
Over The Air
I'm currently at the Over The Air event currently being held at the Imperial college in London. The event is a two day session with overnight activities planned.
Head one over to the official blog for more info.
Expect more updates soon...
EDIT: Here is a quick link to a Flixwagon video I captured.
N95 V21.0.016 Firmware Available via NUS
The latest version of firmware for the original Nokia N95 is now available via Nokia Update Service. It took a while and now it has arrived, coincidently along with a beta version of PC Suite too (early reports say this is buggy).
Unfortunately my net connection at home is down so I can't get it yet. My ISP has sulphur in their servers, how that got there I don't know. The sheer incompetence, really! Also as I'll be busy for the next few days (social commitments) I doubt I'll be able to get it until the weekend! Frustrating indeed!
For now keep your eyes on some of the blogs on my blogroll for more info and feedback regarding this update.
