So don't do that. Apple also announced the date for the anticipated iPhone 6s launch event (http://www.imore.com/iphone-event), more photos of the BlackBerry Venice Android slider leaked out (http://crackberry.com/blackberry-venice-slider-spotted-once-again-some-clearer-images), as did the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL and their Continuum dock (http://www.windowscentral.com/alleged-lumia-950-and-lumia-950-xl-continuum-dock-smile-camera).</p> <p>It's time for Mobile Nations Weekly!</p> <p><a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/IM-Q-DTP" title="" class="desktop-only cta large">Take the State of the Mobile Nations Phones and Carriers Survey for your chance to win $600 towards a new iPhone of your choice![/url] <a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/IM-Q-M" title="" class="mobile-only cta large">Take the State of the Mobile Nations Phones and Carriers Survey for your chance to win $600 towards a new iPhone of your choice![/url]</p> <h2 data-title="Mobile Nations Weekly"></h2> <h2 data-title="iMore">iMore — iPhone 6s Watch, Day 208</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/mobile-nations-weekly-sticky-s-pens-iphone-6s-event-and-leaky-ships' title="Mobile Nations Weekly: Sticky S Pens, an iPhone 6s event, and leaky ships"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/topic_images/2015/apple-invite-sept-9-hero.jpg?itok=88KFdjOt' />[/url]</p> <p>Invitations have gone out for Apple's annual iPhone event, and that means come September 9, 2015, we should be getting our first looks at the next-generation iPhone 6s (http://www.imore.com/iphone-6s), iPhone 6s Plus (http://www.imore.com/iphone-6s-plus), and Apple TV (http://www.imore.com/apple-tv). Oh, and iOS 9 (http://www.imore.com/ios-9) and watchOS 2 (http://www.imore.com/apple-watch) as well. It's going to be a big show this year. How big?

So please, folks. Don't put your S Pen back in the phone backward.

In other news, BlackBerry announced a new WatchDox app for BlackBerry 10 Enterprise customers (http://crackberry.com/blackberry-launches-new-watchdox-app-expands-additional-platform-integration), closing off the question of how they would integrate the service into BlackBerry 10 devices.</p> <ul><li>Watch the replay of John Chen's interview with the Churchill Club (http://crackberry.com/watch-replay-john-chens-interview-churchill-club)</li> <li>BlackBerry 'Venice' slider spotted once again in new images (http://crackberry.com/blackberry-venice-slider-spotted-once-again-some-clearer-images)</li> <li>BlackBerry launches new WatchDox app, expands on additional platform integration (http://crackberry.com/blackberry-launches-new-watchdox-app-expands-additional-platform-integration)</li> </ul><h2 data-title="Windows Central">Windows Central — New Lumias cometh</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/mobile-nations-weekly-sticky-s-pens-iphone-6s-event-and-leaky-ships' title="Mobile Nations Weekly: Sticky S Pens, an iPhone 6s event, and leaky ships"><img src='(http://www.windowscentral.com/sites/wpcentral.com/files/styles/medium/public/field/image/2015/08/talkman-leak.jpg)?itok=wJ1kW5vO' />[/url]</p> <p>Those yearning for new flagship Windows Phones received some nice surprises this week with new renders and another alleged photo. The Lumia phones – codenamed Cityman and Talkman (http://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-cityman-and-talkman-flagship-full-details) – are expected to be announced in October and so far, audience reaction to the designs is mixed at best. Indeed, in our currently ongoing poll (http://www.windowscentral.com/poll-what-do-you-think-cityman-and-talkman) 1/3 flat out think the new Lumias don't look so hot. Will people change when the phones hit shelves in November? Time will tell.</p> <p>Windows Insiders received a new build of the Windows 10 desktop OS. Build 10532 hit computers this week bringing along with it some menu UI and Microsoft Edge improvements (http://www.windowscentral.com/heres-whats-new-microsoft-edge-windows-10-preview-build-10532). Speaking of Windows 10, the OS is now installed on more than 75 million computers and should surpass the OS X install base sometime in September.</p> <ul><li>Hands-on with Microsoft Snip Beta (http://www.windowscentral.com/hands-on-microsoft-snip-beta)</li> <li>Alleged Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL, Continuum dock smile for the camera (http://www.windowscentral.com/alleged-lumia-950-and-lumia-950-xl-continuum-dock-smile-camera)</li> <li>Microsoft's Windows 10 Mobile update unlikely to come to 4GB phones (http://www.windowscentral.com/windows-10-mobile-update-unlikely-4gb-phones)</li> <li>Here's what's new and what's broken in Windows 10 preview build 10532 (http://www.windowscentral.com/heres-whats-new-and-whats-broken-windows-10-preview-build-10532)</li> <li>Windows 10 installed on over 75 million devices, covering over 90,000 unique PC and tablet models (http://www.windowscentral.com/windows-10-installed-over-75-million-devices-covering-over-90000-unique-pcs-and-tablets)</li> </ul><h2 data-title="Around Mobile Nations"></h2> <h2>Kicked</h2> <div class="video"><div class="video_iframe"><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/hbL8CjAhIJY?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;controls=2&amp;autohide=1&amp;showinfo=0" width="627" height="353" class="video-filter video-youtube vf-hbl8cjahijy" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div></div> <!--/video--> <p>This week on Kicked (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbL8CjAhIJY) we look at chewable coffee cubes (http://igg.me/at/go-cubes/x), along with a reinvented axe, a GoPro stabilizer, and more!

We also show you a new wireless home monitoring camera (http://www.connectedly.com/butterfleye-promises-be-smarter-and-simpler-wireless-home-monitoring-camera) that has been getting a lot of attention.
