Back in September we told you that Microsoft was planning on opening a Windows Cafe in the heart of Paris, France. Well it seems that Windows Cafe is very real and open today in Paris serving up drinks, giving customers free WiFi access and of course showcasing all things Windows.

You can head over to Le Journal du Geek to take a look at the inside of the store here.

We’ve heard a lot about Microsoft’s retail locations but what we haven’t heard is a Windows 7 cafe right smack in the middle of Paris. Lucky for those of you who happen to love Windows and cafes, it was recently announced that on October 22nd Microsoft will be opening just that, a Windows 7 cafe on 47 Boulevard Sebastopol in Paris.

Of course, if you want to get down on the coffee, pastries, Xbox and Windows action, you better do so soon after October 22nd as it will only be open for a few weeks after

Well here’s a weird video review of a cell phone! And I am not talking about the English-Polish language nor about the running water in the background. We’ve seen better and we’ve seen worse. I am talking about the phone itself. The Sony Ericsson Paris has been canceled as far as everyone knows. So question is, how did it get to Poland? The videos have been uploaded to YouTube these days so this gets even weirder.

The Paris should be only a prototype and probably this Polish guy had to give it up after he played with it. Or did it happen to fall of a truck? Will we get the Paris eventually? Well who’s to say we aren’t?

With the leaked product pages, the Paris aka P10 might have come this close to an announcement along with the other five cell phones that saw daylight on June 17th, but looks like that is not going to be the case. The P10 along with the touchscreen G702 (BeiBei) will be shelved indefinitely, with no hints at manufacturing or further development of these two devices, although a limited release in Asia might be a possibility. What’s the reason you ask? Sony Ericsson blames it on us, bloggers, reviewers, and industry watchers for tearing those two cell phones apart, and mobile-review.com in particular for one really hard-hitting review on the G702. Anyways, let’s hope Sony Ericsson has something else cooking in its labs other than the Xperia X1, as this just put a huge hole in its smartphone lineup, which might take a long while to fill up.
