Even for gadget freaks, it was tough to take one’s attention away from the outstanding action that filled The Dark Knight from beginning to end, but when Morgan Freeman had to hand over his Nokia XpressMedia 5800 (or Tube, as it were) at a stop in Hong Kong, we had to take a moment and gush. Nokia’s still-not-official handset had a few critical scenes where it was highlighted, though we’d wager it was only viewable for 4 to 5 seconds in total. Beyond that, Nokia’s peculiarly designed 6630 (circa 2004) was Gordon’s handset of choice, which we also managed to capture and host up below. It’s not really important that you go see it for a live shot of the Tube (though the incentive is nice), just make sure you go. Soon.

[Thanks to everyone who kept us on the lookout!]
