So i'm pretty far on the Nokia game, it definitely goes beyond the standard url. I'll post when I know what the extension is.
It's awesome that there are so many different things to explore.
I started an irc channel, #cfg on irc.chat-solutions.org they do have an IG chat but no one's there and we can't talk about puzzles in there
Mibbit link: https://www.mibbit.com/chat/?url=irc%3A%2F%2Firc.chat-solutions.org%2F%23cfg
We should probably start a wiki too. Anyone want to help if i start one on wikidot?

I've gotten the majority of data out of the image, and attached below. Unless there's something in those upper corners like the 630412 at the bottom, I think this is everything.
I have no idea what 630412 could mean though. It doesn't go into Babbage, that's for sure, the only thing I've found that works there is the ol' 77472.
EDIT: helps if I attach it

So could any Englanders tell me what the statue is in the beginning of the magpie youtube video? It may be near the David & Goliath store in London but I can't get a good enough view of the inside of that plaza, only the streets around it. It would be a big help ....

Yeah, there was something in those upper corners. I uncovered the whole thing now though, so we have the full image attached.
Turns out the numbers are in hex! 7E06B1 and 63D412 both work in Babbage now.

Another Babbage code:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The top right corner is 31000, and Babbage will take it as 031000

77472 is now decrypted on Babbage. It provides a lovely song written by Ann Marie
(download is available here - thanks MarkZpot!)

Hello there! I'm new here and must say you have done a great job over the past days here!
Maybe I can add two bits now here two I found:
The statue in the video is one of Sir Keith Park in London (see http://www.nznewsuk.co.uk/news/?ID=4290&StartRow=1 ).
Ann Marie's manager tweeted yesterday that she's gone missing - no idea if that's gonna be part of the game but wouldn't be surprised if that's the start of a new storyline.
Thanks again for your creativity and knowledge here!

7E06B1 is decrypted, and seems to be an e-mail message:
freebird\\:ret01_@conspiracyforgood.com
From: Claire Finnigan
To: Argyle North
Subject: You've Got Mail
You're not going to believe this Argyle but that lead I talked to you about last week finally paid out. Sure, I've got a bad feeling about this guy but he sure got some impressive connections. Anyway, the information should pretty much confirm your suspicions about the legality of the B&B claims. Also the fat cats are apparently talking about an affiliate that might need to go silent. I don't have the names and exact dates yet, but he's a geologist (?) and he's supposed to come over to the UK in May.
You want me to dig deeper?

I don't know if Claire is a forum member, and if she is then which one. But I do know that Argyle is North on the forums (the guy with the Fantastic Mr Fox avatar).
Fake edit: dammit ninja'd. But I still had something to say so hey I'm keeping this!

The song has some morse code running through it. It's kind of hard to hear when she starts singing, though.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The first words (I think) are "FIND AND". The next sequence seems to start with "FIND THE SONG".
Transcript of the song lyrics:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Children craft the finest dreams
before they know reality
And we tell them that they should
and we tell them that it's good
Then they live inside their dreams
and they stretch them at the seams
till they lose their perfect shape
and their innocence deflates
So give me all your dreams deferred
count them like a flock of birds
one for sorrow, two for joy
three for a girl and four for a boy
Sparrows never have a care
Destiny is in the air
Every songbird dares to dream
improvising on a theme
Sing your babies lullabies
wrap them in a nest of lies
place their cradles in the trees
trust (?) their safety to the breeze
And give me all your dreams deferred
count them like a flock of birds
five for silver, six for gold
seven for a secret never told
Lay your dreams out on the wire
wonder who you will inspire
dreamers have to take this chance
hoping that you dare to dance
So give me all your dreams deferred
count them like a flock of birds
eight is a kiss and nine's a wish
ten is a chance never to be missed

I'm having a go at cleaning up the MP3 to see if we can hear the morse better. I've managed to remove the vocals but unfortunately it's taken the morse with it! :-S
Ok here's my best attempt.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/896644/Dreams%20Deferred%20edit.mp3
The vocals are still there but I've made the Morse easier to hear. Unfortunately I'm crap at telling what a long tone and a short tone is so on that front I'm passing the baton
