Hey guys, got an exam to go to right now but this is pretty big news. It’s the Nokia Q4 2011 results. Well over 1 Million lumia devices sold. Not sure I’m reading it right, but it says 884M operating profit? Argh. Update. Looking at the wrong column. 19.6M smartphones, 17% increase over last [...]
Someone’s monophonic playing Nokia was blurting out the Nokia tune in between this guy’s violin solo performance. He looks briefly annoyed but then smiles and improvises playing the Nokia tune instead. This was apparently on reddit’s front page. Video by soloojos Cheers @varunkrish for the tip!
I thought this was a major typo but no. Vlad from TheVerge contacted Argos to check and it’s real. The Nokia Lumia 800 can be bought for £119.99. The phone is not locked to a contract. This is unlocked. Free delivery. What’s the catch? Well, It’s only from Argos. Just from that store and also [...]
The amazing people at Nokia Connects were nice enough to send me a Lumia 800 to trial out for a while, so first off a shout out them for making this possible, they have some truly wonderful people working for them. Now a bit about the extent of my relationship with OSes other than Symbian/S^3, [...]
-After All this time? ….. “Always.” It’s been over a year since the N8 was released, and yet according to techradar it’s still the king of cameraphones. The people at Techradar pitted the N8 against the Samsung Galaxy 2, the iPhone4S, HTC Evo 3D, Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc and the Motorola XT720; in a series of complicated and thorough tests of [...]
Not sure if this is new, I remember Nokia already mentioning this in December, but apparently it’s something to report on. Perhaps it’s because there’s the other S^3 handsets shipping with Belle in addition to the Nokia N8? http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_now_shipping_symbian3_devices_with_belle_out_the_box-news-3732.php This is Nokia’s twitter account confirming details. Now they have made a couple of error tweets [...]
Yle reported earlier this month that Nokia was possibly looking to F-Secure founder, Risto Siilasmaa to replace Jorma Ollila as their Chairman. Yesterday they said Nokia’s board had officially nominated Siilasmaa for the position, with Dame Marjorie Scardino to stay as Vice Chairman. YLE says Olilla was going to leave in 2010 [was that an 'uh [...]
As promised, after my exams I’d get around to N9 apps Here’s one that I was playing in revision breaks. It’s an awesomely addictive game called ‘Dalton – The Awesome’. This is a simple running and jumping style game where as Dalton you must get away or kill if you can (with powerups) the zombies. [...]
Once the most popular game in the world (not sure if still is or if that’s now Angry Birds), Snake is possibly the most legendary mobile game in the world. Last year we saw an app on iPhone that tried to replicate not just the game, but the phone itself to give that full blown [...]
Here’s an interesting video that perked me up just before my exams yesterday. It’s the Nokia Lumia Launch for Denmark and they did it with Style in Copenhagen. At the Danish National Soccer stadium, the Lumia Tiles literally came to life. THIS is what we need people to see. To be aware of the [...]
Saw this link in one of our reader’s (Mike) comment yesterday. TheVerge reported that Apple CEO, Tim Cook, acknowledged Windows Phone as a legitimate competitor and the third horse in this race. Recently we heard a few Apple fans sharing their praises for Nokia Lumia for focusing on user experience first, in both hardware design [...]
We got sent this a few days ago but I missed it due to the mountain of revision I was under (I missed a lot of the emailed tips, soz guys). My Dream Nokia #40 is by reader, FireDragon. It’s quite a classy design, no? And quite amazing since it’s from the C2-06 range [...]
Nokia Connects just shared a video from “Life” channel featuring some upcoming EA games; if these Nokia connects Confirmed the following games will soon be coming to WP (Lumia phones get some sort of exclusiveness). Mirror’s Edge – award winning Parkour sim with a futuristic spy thriller plot. Real Racing 2 – hit racing sim pits you over 40 miles in 30 [...]
The awesome Marko Ahtisaari was promoted today to Executive Vice President of Design and is now a member of the Nokia Leadership Team, reporting directly to Stephen Elop. I’m glad that Nokia are recognizing that design is a lot more integral to their phones (given a lot of the praises of their recent handsets have [...]

Square Off is a nice looking game with some interesting controls. You’ve got your character who has to fight off the enemy by shooting them down with bombs, shotguns and missiles. You push in the direction you want to move on the left. Simple enough perhaps. However, shooting isn’t just a press, you have to [...]
Walt Mossberg, fan of Apple products and the like posted on All Things Digital that he thinks the Lumia 710 is good value for money. That’s great news as that’s precisely the aim of that particular phone and it’s good that someone as influential as Walt and AllThingsD would agree (and something to take on [...]

Check these out, they’re not really telling anything new about the Nokia Lumia 710 but they are nicely presented and by someone from T-Mobile US for Nokia’s US youtube channel. In the first you’re told how to use the bing search button on your ’4G’ Lumia 710. As a tip, if you know what you’re [...]

We’ve seen a few sneaky peeks at PR1.2 Harmattan, here’s the official one from the N950 in screenshots taken by Siraj. Folders I’d suggest checking out the link as he has many more screenshots. http://lovemynokia.com/nokia-n950-pr1-2-changelogs-and-screenshots/ Source: lovemynokia Cheers Jaris for the tip!
Couple of news sources talking about similar things so let’s put these two together. First, as you might have just seen from Ali’s post, the Nokia Lumia 900 is apparently going to be priced at 99USD with contract. This from BGR’s trusted source at AT&T with March 18th as the date. http://www.bgr.com/2012/01/25/atts-q1-2012-roadmap-nokia-lumia-900-to-launch-march-18th-for-99-99/ Via wmpoweruser Secondly, [...]
A potential game changer is at hand! A source at wmpoweruser claims that he’s taken a good look at At&ts road-map; and on this road map is a March 18th launch with a $99 price tag… interesting. If true this would make the 900 the cheapest LTE capable smartphone on ANY platform or carrier; which would [...]

Orientile is logic based game that involves alot more thinking than your average tic-tac-toe game, the concept of the game revolves around surrounding tiles with bamboo sticks; once two consecutive tiles are completely surrounded you gain points for the two enclosed tiles. Orientile is a turn-by-turn game, where each opponent tries to be as useless as possible [...]
1.5 BILLION sales of S40 phones have been sold. These phones are getting more and more powerful with features that you would have expected in smartphones, blurring the lines between feature phone and its smarter buddies. Just what is the strict definition of smartphone and what would happen should S40 and whatever will become of [...]
