Anton D. Nagy chasing a taxi on foot. Jaime Rivera almost burning down a building with a power strip. A Honduran drinking palinca and a Romanian doing a Mexican accent. The tales from our leather-clad Barcelona duo are intense - but their intensity is matched by the hot mobile news that burst forth from this week's Mobile World Congress, the most epic in recent memory.

To wit, that news includes an MWC 2014 Samsung Unpacked event that gave the world the latest Galaxy; a Sony unveiling of similar proportions that built on the Xperia legacy; a press conference that saw the world's first Nokia Android phone come to light; and the world's next YotaPhone, which can't come soon enough. And that's just the beginning.

You could just stay here reading about it, but you've been staring at a screen all week. So shut them peepers, don some earbuds, turn the volume up and rip the knob off: we're here to talk mobile tech, Barcelona style, and it's gonna get weird (in a uniquely Spanish kind of way).
