Thanks to the Nokia World Conference, we have a lot to talk about today. There's a new version of the Nokia N97, two new Nokia music phones, and a new Nokia handset for AT&T. We also have a new Sony Ericsson Xperia, a bit of Windows Mobile News, and a phone that can take a swim and live to tell the tale. And elsewhere in the podcast, Verizon gets top marks, and Nicole refuses to get mad.
