It should be no surprise to hear the phrases ‘volume shipments in 2012″ for Nokia Windows Phones as that’s what Nokia have been saying since February. The aim was first to get the darned thing out to market first and it’s here. (There were fears it would not even appear until 2012). There were also [...]

Hi folks. This is a video I recorded in the bleak hours of Tuesday morning (file too huge on 60D even reduced to 720p to upload in time :S). It was a repeat of a test I did at Nokia World between the Nokia Lumia and the Nokia N8 keyboard. I seem to have lost [...]

It’s just a week in since launch and some places are already calling doom on Nokia’s Lumia efforts. Forbes has published a somewhat troubling article questioning who is actually going to buy the Nokia Lumia 800 Windows Phones, which is launched in just 6 countries.

  Hmm, well last weeks rumour that Belle would be here in a week or so still hasn’t appeared (or have I missed something?). It’s still November…there’s still time.

I’ve been waiting to share these apps with you guys for a long time. Since February I’ve been enjoying a lot of great quality apps but I put off reviewing them as I only wanted to show them Nokia hardware (so Nokia users can see exactly if it will run and how it will perform). [...]
