Microsoft and Nokia’s partnership is a chance for both companies to start over and redefine themselves in the smartphone space. So far, we like what we’re seeing. Windows Phone Mango is shaping up quite nicely and one of Nokia’s first phones running Microsoft’s OS will be the ‘Sea Ray,’ which this video gives us a good look at, courtesy of wpcentral. While there’s nothing earth shattering about the phone’s design, it looks pretty sleek and should stand out among the hordes of big-screened phones that dominate the U.S. market.

This video, which is unverified in origin and authenticity, was likely shot in a development factory in China or Hong Kong and shows a version of Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) that looks to be close to a finished release. This is build 7710, according to wpcentral’s sources, which include a foreign message board called wpxap.

If the Sea Ray looks familiar, it should. An almost identical device called the Nokia N9 was unveiled some weeks back as Nokia’s first phone running the new MeeGo operating system. The Sea Ray appears to have an added camera button and a somewhat thicker profile. We have no idea what kind of specs are on the inside, but we’re hoping it’s fast.

Phone rescue mission ends in failure for ‘foolish’ Mount Fuji climber
Japan's Mount Fuji.

The Japanese have a famous proverb about its highest mountain. It translates roughly as, “A wise person climbs Mount Fuji once; only a fool climbs it twice.” An even bigger goofball does it twice in the space of a few days outside of the official climbing season -- the second time to retrieve a smartphone lost during the first attempt. But that's exactly what happened.

A Chinese national who recently visited the mountain clearly had no knowledge of the famous saying. Nor did he realize that scaling the 3,776-meter-high mountain at this time of year is extremely hazardous due to the harsh conditions that include snow, ice, and inclement weather.
