From a corporate standpoint, we can sort of understand the parent company’s desire to have the bes. handset launches all to itself, but it sure would’ve been kind of it to throw FIDO a proverbial bone. If you’ll recall, whispers were in the air that Rogers, FIDO’s parent company, would be reserving the Nokia E71 for a fall / winter FIDO launch; at this time, we’re hearing from a number of directions that those plans may have been scrapped. In fact, Rogers could at this time be hosting the phone all by its lonesome next month in Canada. Of course, we’ll have to wait until then to see if hearts change once more, but boy, the tug-of-war between parent and child in this place is really bringing back some frightening memories.

While the 5310 XpressMusic candybar has first rights to the Comes With Music party, Nokia’s old faithful won’t be far behind. Mobile operator 3 UK is gearing up to launch a CwM-edition N95 soon, which will give Nokia fanatics that have somehow managed to avoid the heralded handset this long a chance to redeem their persons. Details beyond that are scant, but we are told that the contract-toting N95 will be available from 3 “next month” for an undisclosed amount.
