"Bring us alternate topics," you said. And boy oh boy, have the waning days of December delivered.

On today's podcast, we're joined by Daniel Bader of MobileSyrup for a firsthand account of the BlackBerry Classic launch and an acoustic retelling of MobileSyrup's BlackBerry Classic review, told as only a true Canadian can tell it. On the heels of that, we're looking at the leaked OnePlus One mini: sure, it might be a fake, but it's about time for a new OnePlus One, and a slimmed-down edition would be very welcome indeed. And speaking of overdue smartphones: where the hell's our next Windows Phone flagship? All that, plus Dial F For Fail, your listener mail and a new installment of the "What Phone Should I Get?" advice column, in the podcast ahead!

If that sounds like the ideal remedy for an early-winter head cold, Pocketnow has just the show you've been looking for. Join us for Pocketnow Weekly 127 below –either through the live video stream at 12:30pm Eastern on December 18 (click here for your local time), or the high-quality audio version available later on– and shoot your questions to podcast [AT] pocketnow [DOT] com for a shot at getting your question read aloud on the air. See you then!

Dial F for Fail

It may just sound like a ringtone to you, but our transition music track ("Radiation") is a real song, from a real album, by a real artist: Ali Spagnola. You can download that album, along with many others, at Ali's website (alispagnola.com), visit her YouTube page (youtube.com/alispags), and follow her on Twitter (twitter.com/alispagnola)!
