Another year, another set of devices from Apple, Samsung, Nokia and others that are slightly slimmer, faster and maybe better looking than last year’s. Computing has rounded up some of the more exciting…

BlackBerry isn’t the only mega-brand of yesteryear attempting a major comeback. Nokia , too, will unveil its first Android phone, the Nokia 6, to the wider world.
Nokia Mobile teased the Nokia 6, which is already on sale in China, in a video on its Facebook page (see above). « Get ready! « , the post reads, « The Nokia 6 is coming to China! More announcements to follow on February 26th… Save the date!  »
The Nokia 6 sells only in China, for now. Expect that to change later next month.
The timing is a clue. February 26 coincides with Mobile World Congress (also known as MWC), the world’s largest mobile show that takes place in Spain each year at the end of February.
It’s here that BlackBerry will officially launch its comeback phone, known as the BlackBerry Mercury. MWC is where we typically see flagship phones from Samsung, LG, HTC, Huawei and Sony.
On January 8, HMD, the company that licensed the Nokia name , announced the Nokia 6 for China. Although it’s an Android phone, the Nokia 6 won’t run any of Google services, like the Google Play Store, Google Maps or your Google Account — these don’t work in China on any phone. So a global release of the Nokia 6 at MWC is crucial for putting the new Nokia on the map.
HMD owns a 10-year license to exclusively sell Nokia-brand products, branded as Nokia Mobile. To make matters more confusing, « Nokia » still exists as a separate company that sells telecommunications infrastructure equipment and also the pro-grade Ozo camera. Foxconn’s FIH Mobile division is in charge of manufacturing and distributing Nokia phones.

Though we’re still one day away from the big Nintendo Switch presentation, some of us are already prepared to throw down cold, hard cash for the mysterious console/handheld combo.
A select few in New York City might actually be able to do just that, as the official Twitter account of Nintendo’s NYC branch announced it’s ready to take a limited number of Switch pre-orders as soon as this Friday.
A limited quantity of pre-orders for the #NintendoSwitch will begin on 1/13 at 9AM while supplies last at #NintendoNYC. January 11, 2017
There’s no telling yet if other Nintendo store locations (or other major retailers, like GameStop or Amazon) will follow suit on Friday, though we’ve asked a Nintendo representative for just this information, and will update this story if more details are forthcoming.
Given Nintendo’s reputation of late for under-producing stock to drum up scarcity (see: the NES Classic Edition , amiibos, the infamous Nintendo Wii launch), this isn’t an auspicious omen for anyone hoping they could just walk into a store this March and pick up a shiny new Switch.
That’s just us being cautious, of course, and we hope to learn more about the Switch – to include pricing and pre-order information – during Nintendo’s presentation this Thursday at 8pm PST/11pm EST/4am GMT Friday.
