Videos: Windows Phone Controlled Bubbles UI desktop of the future?
@Chansearrington tweeted this post from engadget a couple of weeks back. It’s quite interesting actually. It includes a couple of videos from Microsoft Research showing the future of computers which are becoming more invisible to us as they appear in more places around us. Computers it seems will be taking the work from us. It’ll [...]

My Dream Nokia #21: Nokia W6 – How Nokia can customise with Windows Phone Themes
We’ve got some fantastic designs here for you but this time it mainly focuses on the UI tweaks rather than the phone itself. The imaginary/concept handset is called the Nokia W6, this is just a shell to house the modified Windows Phone theme. This was designed by Peter Lackman who emailed us saying: Hello folks [...]
Nokia launches X1-00 music phone, packs a lot of punches!
Aiming for music lovers and the next billion, Nokia launches the X1-00 today. It features a massive speaker on the back rated at “106phon” supposedly could rattle your Windows.

T-Mobile USA to get Nokia C7 – rebranded as “Tiger”?
Tmonews reckons that T-Mobile USA is going to release the Nokia C7 which will be called Tiger. Why? Well the same reason for Nuron. Name in hat. As inspired the the Android manufacturers with their lovely names such as “Epic”, “Fascinate”, “ChaCha” and “Salsa”. To be fair it’s much more memorable than Nokia’s postcode affair. [...]
Microsoft paid Nokia over 1 Billion dollars for Nok-MS deal?
Bloomberg is reporting that Microsoft may have paid Nokia over 1 Billion dollars to secure the Nokia-Microsoft partnership. That’s not exactly news because Elop himself have said the monetary value flowing to Nokia from Microsoft is in the B’s and not the M’s. What’s a little more concerning is that it seems to just be…1 [...]

Video: Nokia E7 Smartphone – Matthew Wilson AKA Max ‘The Axe’ Damage – The wrestlers’ champion
This little 5 minute film from Nokia didn’t make sense at first. It seems to be part of a campaign called “Success is what you make it” which we saw in the Behind the scenes of the E7 design with Shunjiro Eguchi. It stars Matt Wilson, aka wrester Max the ‘Axe’ damage. For Matt, the [...]
Windows Phone Mango Update coming this fall at the LATEST to OEM and network for Holiday Launch
There was an early report today that Windows Phone’s Mango Update to bring multitasking, IE9 and twitter integration amongst other things was NOT coming this side of 2011 and was to be delayed to a 2012 release. Not good news for Microsoft (especially what with earlier update problems with Samsung) and especially NOT good news [...]
Nokia sells Qt LICENCING and services business to Digia to work together and grow community.
In another WTF moment for Nokia fans after reading the email title and Engadget article of Nokia selling Qt licensing to Digia (another Finnish company whose software products we’ve discussed here now and again) as a logical progression of Nokia’s alignment with Windows Phone. Glancing at it, it seems Nokia is giving up and selling [...]
Nokia X7-00 uaprofile at Nokia.com – with new browser 7.3
@chilko has just tweeted me that the Nokia X7-00 UAProfile is online. We’ve seen pictures and even video demoes however, this handset of course is still not officially announced by Nokia.

Video: Kasvopus Qt Facebook App for Symbian^3/Maemo 5 demoed on Nokia N900
Yesterday we saw Kasvopus, a new project from Tommi Laukkanen that brings a very promising facebook client to Nokia Devices. The only one so far comes by way of the frighteningly bad Social App produced by NOKIA. There’s quite some potential with Kasvopus, hopefully it will receive more updates and more features, but for now [...]

Sony Ericsson joins Nokia, HTC, Samsung and LG Windows Phone Gang?
Microsoft got a big boost when Nokia joined the ranks to become a manufacturer of Windows Phone devices (and hopefully as Rafe Blandford predicts, will become the major manufacturer holding >80% of all Windows Phone sales/shipments). But as Elop has mentioned, they don’t want to be the ONLY one in the ecosystem. For it to [...]
Videos: Windows Phone Ads: Everything a smartphone should be | Surprise + Rant
Microsoft are really pushing Windows Phone’s profile with these adverts. Regardless of what the phone can actually do, or truths behind it, what is most important in the adverts is that it drums down your message to the viewer that your product is something DESIRABLE, something LIKEABLE, something You’d go out and BUY. All other [...]
Video: Nokia C3-00 WiFi test (vs iPod touch)
General techy youtuber chrisc74 has been using the Nokia C3-00 S40 QWERTY and has decided to test out the WiFi.

Qt Facebook app, Kasvopus, available for Symbian^3/Maemo 5 (requires Qt 4.7.2), MeeGo soon #N8 #N900
Tommi Laukkanen is at it again, this time taking on the Facebook app (which no one else, not even Nokia have done a good job on. It pains me how terribly overlooked the Facebook app has been on Nokias. You would think it was some hobo social network with 5 people on it the way [...]
Videos: More beautiful Nokia N8 HD videos from topolino70
It’s been a while since we looked at some N8 videos, no? Having switched to the Samsung Omnia 7 for over a week now, I am absolutely missing my anywhere any time QUALITY photos and videos. If I’m taking photos, that means I need to bring my (sammy) digicam – my friends keep mixing up [...]
