We’re continuously down with new shades of old mobiles, and we’re particularly find of new ones that bring along something extra. Nokia has just expanded its Supernova range with a Graphite and Passionate Purple Supernova 7610, 7510, 7310 and 7210. Each of the newcomers also brings along “enhanced services” that enable users to “share their images and video with friends through Ovi Share, as well as keep up to Dat. with friends via Nokia Maps and instant messaging with Windows Live Messenger.” There’s no mention of pricing, so we’ll go out a limb and assume they’ll remain the same as the colors already available.

While SE’s Panel interface is a nice XPERIA X1 extra on top of the otherwise vanilla Windows Mobile 6.1 load, we know just how fond of TouchFLO 3D some of you characters are. There’s really not too much to say beyond that — we mean, it’s TouchFLO 3D on an XPERIA X1 — but there’s plenty more chatter in the vid just past the break.

This shouldn’t be surprising at all to anyone even remotely familiar with HTC’s tendencies, but the Touch HD is officially not ever shipping to America (unless you import, obviously). The news was dropped via a Tweet (of all things), but evidently, the outcry over what we figured was common knowledge has caused some windows to be rattled in the penthouse offices. Another official Tweet followed to thank everyone for “expressing their desire for the HD,” with the author noting that “US management at this time knows there’s a grassroots demand for high-end HTCs in this place.” Really, HTC? You needed a flood of angry Twitter comments to understand that Americans would give their second born for a phone like the Touch HD?

Update: We’ve received official word from HTC that they’ve been really overwhelmed by the “strong” demand for the HD in the States and other markets where no launch has been planned (with that insane display, it seemed like a no-brainer to us!). Sadly, due to the engineering time required to get a North American 3G version in the pipeline, they say they’re better off just waiting until the next round of products launches — hopefully with some extra bands in the radio this time, eh?
