Rumours: Possible Nokia Windows Phone Specs? #Wishfulthinking #Hydra #Nokia #900
Daily Mobile forum has an image of supposedly from a ‘reliable source’. This is the person’s first post on the forum and looks more like something that belongs in our dream-nokia sessions rather than actual upcoming devices. The specifications aren’t actually anything extra-ordinary, what is expected from 2011 actually, but would be a surprise [...]

Video: (Tutorial) Flash Symbian Belle on your Nokia N8 (follow at own risk!)
OK read title: Put Belle on your N8 at your own risk. Last week was pretty exciting in tech (MotoGoog, HP kills webOS and exits PC business, and the reveal of, sadly, TabCo). The Nokia scene was busy too, with Belle leaked and Anna update finally released (wow). We’ve seen plenty of Belle screenshots [...]
Nokia N9 at Amazon.co.uk?
Reader Dinesh Manne did some research and found a few more UK retailers with the N9 (though relatively not well known). One of the finds though includes Amazon UK. There’s no price, pre-order option, dates, jut a page. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nokia-N9-16GB-Magenta/dp/B005H9Z7TI I’m not sure how easy it is to put a placement there, but well there’s some [...]
Nokia 701 RM-744 Pics from ANATEL? Or fake?
We received a document on Saturday from a reader named Harry Stefano, who said that this is from ANATEL (Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações) which Harry says is like the FCC where all new phones require Anatel authorisation. This is supposedly the Nokia 701, aka Helen, rumoured to be the Nokia C7 successor. However, it looks [...]
Ari Jaaksi: Symbian Religion. Biggest concern on Maemo was not how good it was, but how it would affect Symbian.

Microsoft Recruiting WebOS devs for Windows Phone
Just like when the likes of Samsung and Google started poaching Nokia/Symbian developers leaving on the Feb11 news, Microsoft – well @BrandonWatson made an open offer to webOS developers that Windows Phone will support them. (In case you missed it, HP are no longer making webOS devices. They’re not even going to be making PCs) [...]

No more HP WebOS devices. HP out of computing. MeeGo similarities?
Some pretty big news yesterday from HP, the world’s number 1 PC manufacturer. WebOS (devices anyway) kinda died, and it’s exiting the PC business. http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20110818006301/en/HP-Confirms-Discussions-Autonomy-Corporation-plc-Business Palm’s WebOS as the first mobile OS that could truly give Apple a run for its money in the looks department. But lack of money to produce the right hardware [...]

Rumours: Luxury mobile brand, Vertu with Windows Phone?
Vertu is pure luxury brand of mobile phones, and is a subsidiary of Nokia. The materials and concierge service make them unreachable for many. One of my obscenely rich housemates in uni really wanted one of these, despite the platform in use not being all that exciting (it wasn’t even Symbian then) it was interesting [...]
