Nokia Beta Labs says their Qt Nokia Store app has got an update to v3.18.032 This fixes issues reported by you guys at the Nokia Beta Labs community as well as preparing for some upcoming features you’ll see deployed at the store backend soon. Fixed: The installation failure of the App updates when the user [...]
This is a question that I’d like answered too because I don’t exactly understand the whole situation. C3′s technologies were pretty instrumental into converting the usual flat NAVTEQ into a mind blowing 3D Photorealistic landscape – where maps felt like you’re actually there. Here’s the blurb when Ovi Maps (now Nokia Maps) jumped to the [...]
You may have seen a growing number of Nokia Lumia adverts on your screens. The ones channel 5 have are a little different. These aren’t just ads. These are Channel’s own idents, filled with lumia – the part that shows the identity of the channel and also filling in to tell you what’s coming next. [...]
A couple of videos just got uploaded to Nokia’s YouTube. Man, all the Nokia locations are churning out one Nokia thing after another, huh? Anywhoo…the first video. Nokia Public Transport. From day 1, as well as using Nokia Maps in a car (with BT GPS as N93 didn’t have it built in), it was also [...]
Another interview with Ben the PC guy, this time with Kevin Shields. I have to admit, the first time I heard of Kevin was at the Nokia World Lumia 800 keynote. Boy did he leave an impression! I had not seen anyone on stage with as much genuine enthusiasm and passion as this guy. He [...]
A couple of days ago we saw a video showing the X-Factor finalists getting a Nokia Lumia 800 as their new phone. Again, as detailed in the previous posts, this is the kind of brand alignment Nokia needs. They have openly said targeting the youth market – with the optimum age of 25, seeing what [...]
To coincide with this tip from Glenn about eBuddy, here’s a video we got during Nokia World. Unfortunately, it seems to have cut off just before we got to see it working on other Nokia devices: eBuddy XMS coming to MeeGo, its not WhatsApp, but its good enough allowing web SMS’s to be sent. http://www.intomobile.com/2011/10/29/ebuddy-becomes-nokias-preferred-messaging-partner/ [...]
Kinect is the fastest selling electronics device on record. It surprised me too as I thought it was essentially a play station eye toy attempting to do motion things like the Wii. Whilst it has its feet in Xbox, there are even cooler things being done by ordinary people hacking the heck out of it. [...]
One of the unknown quantities in the Nokia Lumia 710 was the possibility of having MicroSD card expansion. Now we know it works, it would be good to know if it is hot swappable. I never take the card out of my N8 – only ever to increase the size. We were aware of a [...]
I guess I should have been more excited about this when I saw it on my 800 2-day trial unit. There was a transfer-contacts option. Now, the first time with Windows Phone presented me with the frustration of having to get my contacts from my N8 to Omnia. How to do it? Outlook? Blah [...]
The new Symbian Belle device and also just recently launched wasn’t too well covered. It was all about the new Asha handsets, White N9s and Lumia phones. (Well the Belle handsets already had their launch events I guess). I could only find two 603 hands on videos. Maybe some more still to upload? Note how [...]
We got an email and a screenshot from Aklanai saying that he’s just got the Symbian Anna firmware for his Nokia N8 in Australia. This is also confirmed by Yvonne from Nokia. Screenshot is 059D597 P/C which is Dark Grey N8 Australian Variant. Long time coming. Vodafone also has a post that coincides with the Australian [...]
Hi folks. As you may notice, the stuff we got from Nokia World is slowly trickling in today. This is our first video with the Asha 300 touch and type. Pretty much the very popular C3-01 with 1GHz, polish in the design and an additional messaging button. My sister loves her C3-01. Can’t get [...]
A couple of interesting videos recorded at Nokia Word for the Windows Blog. You’ll see Jo Harlow up first, followed by K evin Shields. Jo is EVP at Nokia, head of Smart Devices. Better training for sales associates – if they love the handset, they can better teach consumers what Nokia Lumia is (unlike before [...]
Now let’s check out the currently available Nokia 800 colours side by side. Like the N9, the Lumia 800 comes in Pink (Magenta), Blue (Cyan) and stealthy black. They’re all pretty stunning, no?
I haven’t checked all Nokia sites, but the Nokia UK page shows up a manual for the Nokia 800 at their support section. You can get at the PDF file: http://nds1.nokia.com/phones/files/guides/Nokia_800_UG_en.pdf Or you can check out their web version: http://www.nokia.co.uk/gb-en/support/product/lumia800/userguide/ Oddly there’s no sign of the 710′s support page. Perhaps a focus on 800 availability [...]
Now that I’ve sorted out most of the images and videos I took at Nokia World, here’s the first gallery. It’s compressed btw so it doesn’t severely affect the site. I think the whole album is 2.2mb. I say first as I’m still getting used to a mac and can’t quite work out where the [...]
This review comes from our reader FireDragon. He installed iWindows on his N8 running Anna. Here’s what he thought. I was checking this application and I like it so far other than how it looks. iWindows brings a Windows Start Button to the Homescreen, over lapping the “Option” button. The Start Button’s graphic is horrible [...]
Varun pointed out a feature in settings he says he had not noticed on his other Mango device. I think this is a standard in Mango (not yet on that cos Samsung updates are quite slow). Anyway, this is a little bit like the battery saver mode on Symbian that allows you to score a [...]
This was one of the things you asked us to try out. During Nokia World event days, it was pretty cloudy and even raining on the second day so I couldn’t really test the screen outdoors. On the Friday we were filming some 800 videos (for Nokia YouTube) it was wonderfully sunny. And we got [...]
Jared Morgan emailed us to share some news of a NFC section. He notes in particular Fruit Ninja NFC. Fruit Ninja is a juicy action game with squishy, splatty and satisfying fruit carnage! Become the ultimate bringer of sweet, tasty destruction with every slash. Swipe up across the screen to deliciously slash fruit like a [...]
