GLOBAL – Today’s the day where we tug on the various strands of the World Wide Web, see what’s stuck at the other end of it and then reel it in. You guys always have lots to say and we’ve decided we need to spread your thoughts and opinions further into the wild. Join us after the break for this Friday’s Pick and Mix.

• Nokia hit the top position three times this week from Mobile Choice awards. Nokia won Manufacturer of the Decade. The Nokia N8 won Best Camera Phone and the Nokia N8 also made it as Best Sat-Nav, beating the Dell Streak, Apple iPhone 4 and even the Garmin Asus Nuvifone.
