More news on that there X-Series phone. My Scandinavian friend Villu tells me that 3 is launching its X-Series mobile broadband package in Denmark and Sweden today, where it's notably dark and cold at this time of year, so a shiny new Skype-enabled mobile is probably very welcome.

The X-Series people have also brightened my January by biking over a Nokia N73, one of the two X-Series phones now available that comes with Skype built-in, along with other software such as Slingplayer, Yahoo Go!, 3's web browser and Windows Live Messenger.

At the weekend I shall road-test the living daylights out of it, so watch this space for review and pics.
