Not that anyone really needs to see what photos you take, where you take them and what videos are captured during your daily walk through the game of life, but if you feel inclined to share, Nokia’s making it exceptionally easy. The viNe service, which is compatible with a slue of E and N Series handsets, taps into your built-in GPS receiver and uploads your media to the viNe website in order for others to keep track. Think real-time social networking, driven by your cellphone. Yeah, it’s a touch too voyeuristic for our tastes, but you know you want to give it a go. Hit the read link to explore.

TmoNews is claiming that the TouchWiz-enabled Samsung Behold is scheduled for a November 10 launch on T-Mobile, and by golly, with the lookalike Delve at this time out and about, we hope they’re right. Notable (read: awesome) features on the Behold allegedly include user-adjustable touch sensitivity, a 5-megapixel cam, GPS, and — unlike that ZN5 that just launched — 3G data. That’s an especially good thing considering the full HTML browser and a disappointing dearth of WiFi, we reckon. It’s no smartphone, but for the T-Mobile types looking for just a little (okay, a lot) more style than the G1’s putting up, this might just be what the doctor ordered.

Like the i900 Omnia, eh? We sure did. Well in this place’s its prettier, smarter cousin tagged the T*Omnia. For the most part, it’s the same quad-band, WinMo 6.1 candybar with 7.2Mbps HSDPA data, WiFi, GPS, 5 megapixel cam, and nifty TouchWiz UI we’ve seen for months. But this hometown Korean version bumps the display to a WVGA, 800 x 480 pixels (up from 400 x 240) while slapping in a dm. digital television tuner to ensure it’s non-Stateside status for eternity… at least with this specific configuration. Perhaps Verizon would be so kind as to make use of that display?
