Palm is entering a whole new era with Palm Pre head honcho Jon Rubinstein taking the reins as CEO of Palm. Curious to know how much this guy is getting as CEO of Palm? He’s getting $850,000 per year! More details can be found here. Rubinstein will be replacing Ed Colligan.

Rubinstein was also instrumental in the creation of the iPod. Hopefully, Rubinstein will steer Palm away from bailing out of the industry for a long time to come.

Black Nokia Care warrantied E63 now available in the Philippines

According to the Nokia Philippines advertisement shown above, the Nokia E63 is also now available in full black color. The black Nokia E63 was first spotted at the Nokia Europe site.

Upon calling the Nokia Store at Tomas Morato, I inquired whether they already have the black color available. They said they still don’t have stocks in hand but it will be priced at P13,790, the same as the blue and red E63.

If you’re thinking about getting your hands on a Nokia E63, do consider looking at the Nokia E71 and see if the feature set will suit you better. Everything is just a whole lot nicer on the E71, construction/build, connectivity, camera and thickness.
