We don’t know too much about the clip you’re about to watch, but we can tell you this: someone has apparently gone and gotten Android up and running on a Nokia N95, and they’ve captured it on the lowest quality video we’ve ever seen. It’s unclear whether this is natively installed or not, but it seems to be getting data (as you can see Google Maps Makeits thing). The dialer is also brought up and appears to make a call — but it’s pretty hard to know if that’s just a demo of the app or if this guy actually has a semi-functional Android device. Check the video after the break and judge for yourself.
[Thanks, John]

In a move that Sprint clearly hopes will fuel the iPhone vs. Instinct fires, the company today declare that it would be selling its lauded touchscreen phone starting June 20th for a price point of just $129.99. Of course, that takes into account a new two-year contract and $100 mail-in rebate, but it still comes in decrease than the expected $199.99 price tag we’d been hearing about. Oddly, to activate the phone Sprint stipulates that you have to choose one of their unlimited Dat. plans — which start at a minimum of $69.99 per month (with 450 minutes of talk-time) — so monthly costs hover right on level with AT&T’s iPhone options… unsurprisingly.

Chalk this one up as just another rumor for at this time, but whispers around the Chinese web have it that chin. Unicom could be netting Apple’s latest handset (yeah, that 3G one) this August. If you’ll recall, Steve had issues in the past getting Chinese carriers to buy into his demanding revenue sharing model, but at this time that those days are gone, we suspect talks may go a little smoother. And c’mon, Apple didn’t add in Chinese character recognition for kicks and giggles, at this time did it? As of at this time, chin. Mobile has yet to make a peep on the rumblings, but we’ve only got a few months before finding out either way.
