Failin.gs is currently in beta, but soon you’ll be able to hit your friends up for anonymous comments about your mundane status updates.

What we like about Nokia’s announcements is that every time they announce a product they also mention its estimated price. Well, almost every time. They didn’t say a word on Nokia X6 16GB’s pricing so…
