As expected there’s going to be some reshuffling of the Nokia Board and here’s what Nokia has put forward yesterday. The new Chairman proposed by Nokia is the much reported Risto Saliismaa.

Here’s what I found to be a funny Amazing Everyday video by Nokia Austria. Well just one part, the rest shows some impressive Nokia Lumia branding. The bit I found funny was when a couple of guys dress up as Nokia Lumia sponges and proceed to hump a car in order to clean it. 00:15 [...]

This tip is quite straight-forward, found it by chance while trying to update Whatsapp to 1.7 (fixes the Broken image sending bug); well straight to it. If you know that an application has been updated, and that the update is available yet it’s not showing in the Marketplace as “updateable” all you have to do [...]

DKM has a screenshot of the Microsoft Business App widget, one of many new features available with the update he originally shared here as well as some dynamic email icon widgets in the updated email app. That wallpaper looks especially nice. For tips with images, like DKM and co, you can send them to tips@mynokiablog.com (or tip [...]

This was pointed out a few times in comments and emails, but the Official Belle page that said it was coming 8th February to existing S^3/Anna devices has now disappeared. It could have just been moved somewhere else but I’m yet to find the moved page.

Bouncy Mouse is a very bright, colourful, great looking game that’s simple and fun to play. Your mouse has to collect cheese and kick the cat in the face at the end (or something). To collect cheese, you have to swing in between points by pulling the mouse back like it’s on a sling shot [...]

I don’t want to or like posting about ElMu as he does post a lot of his opinions/wishes as facts. One of them was that WP7 apps will be totally incompatible with the new WP8. A lot of the blogosphere likes to reiterate what he says as fact (92,000 N9 only yet obviously there’s [...]

First, I am not sure this is the case but the tipster is a regular one so I’m trusting that this was the case for them. Apparently upon connecting the Nokia 701 through Nokia Suite, the Microsoft apps promised for Symbian Belle that we heard about in September became available today as an update. [...]

The folks at MobileFun sent this to me aaages ago but never got around to posting due to other commitments, but now with much of the heavy term and exams over for a while, I’m able to look at accessories again. What we’re looking at is the Pocket Boom Portable Speaker. Package: Instructions 1 [...]

Nokia Australia have just sent me an email saying the Nokia Lumia 800 will be out through Aussie operators from March. Apparently the phone has received positive feedback here from operators even before any decision was made to bring in down under. (Curious why 900 LTE hasn’t had a mention since a large operator here [...]

Here’s what the innards of the Nokia Lumia 800 looks like as done by TechRepublic. They have a video embedded but I don’t know how to get the embed code (and can’t be bothered to look at the page source). I’m not sure what they’re reiterating about the “single piece metal casing”. What metal [...]

What to say, what to say, what to say?? The second I saw the N950 (back when we thought it was the N9) I wanted one so bad, the OS, the E7 Body, The awesome keys… sadly I know as much about developing as there are “P”s in the word Zero; regardless for all of you lucky [...]

Here’s one of many apps of this stacking style. I liked the colourful nature of this one and the monster theme. All you have to do is choose where to drop your monster blocks and make sure it balances for at least the defined time. There are other game modes in addition to going through [...]

Now I’m not sure about everywhere else, Nokia most likely will try to get a close to a global release as they can but at least there is a confirmed date somewhere. Mark this in your diaries. 8th February 2012. That’s on time based on the official Nokia Belle update dates (though not if we [...]

Following the stats of S40 reaching 1.5 BILLION, Steve Litchfield from AAS got to thinking, how much Symbian phones have been sold to date? This was passed last Autumn apparently. Whilst this isn’t just Nokia, I would have thought that since Nokia does make up a significant bulk of Symbian, it makes the other sellers [...]

A couple of WP Tango (The update, not the video calling app) there is going to be a couple of interesting additions: First, support for 120 languages. I’m not sure what the initial launch languages were but I just knew it was laughable, (that and how many, or few I should say, marketplace countries [...]

In this week’s episode of the BBC’s Hustle, there’s more Nokia sightings as usual. This time, with the Nokia E7 up the top there. The Nokia N8 also makes an appearance, but unfortunately, Mickey seems to take the call upside down :S. Holding the right way up first… Now he’s making an upside down phone [...]

Dictionary is must have application for any Lumia phone, considering that Windows phones don’t come with a stock dictionary app as we’ve grown used to on Symbian; but worry not ‘Dictionary’ is more than an ample replacement, seeing as it comes with a great intuitive UI that’s fun and easy to use, as well as the free price-tag. The [...]

Nokia Social app has apparently been updated to v1.5 at Nokia Store and it brings more widgets. Looking for Nokia Social brought me to the ‘Social Networking Client’ which won’t let me download it as I apparently already have it on the N8. Price: Free Link: http://store.ovi.com/content/137675 Cheers SLAYER for the tip!

Here’s Adam Giles from Nokia. You might remember him most from his N8 demoes last year, especially that really cool 8 minute feature where he brilliantly clarifies what the features as opposed to just reeling them off. Shame we didn’t see that video on TV. Adam was at Nokia World 2011 demoing the Nokia [...]

I heard about this video but hadn’t watched it yet. Joe was apparently T-Mobile’s most enthusiastic Windows Phone rep. We know how critical these guys are at being at the forefront of consumer sales. They’re knowledge, info and direction can lead to sales going one way or another. There’s been several reports that a [...]
