The city is embracing its sequined past with decadent bars, eateries and nightclubs. Ecstasy is the new opium, and the required accessory is a top-end Nokia instead of a polished walking stick. The excesses that stoked Shanghai's legendary past are fueling its future as well.

Both companies will probably do well selling camera phones. But they are also going to face...

Dagan leafs through Danit's datebook, recovered from the wreckage in Cafe Moment; she rereads text messages from Uri, Danit's fiance, on her daughter's red Nokia cell phone. "Uri loves Danit," says one. Then the last message: "Tonight at Moment...
