Nokia RM-813 (Nokia 302) passes FCC
KF tipped this in at the start of the week but I seem to have missed it so thanks Neil for the reminder. Something called the Nokia RM-813 or Nokia 302 has passed fcc. I think it’s pretty interesting it’s lumbered with a hefty 1320mAh battery for a 3xx series. That’s the Nokia BL-5J along [...]
Hidden Diagnostic app on Lumia 800
The kind folks over at “The Nokia Blog” seem to have found a hidden easter egg (or is it Turkey Egg considering it’s thanksgivings?) on the Lumia 800, the hidden app is a Diagnostics tool that runs a check on most sensors, buttons, speakers and touchpanels of the 800 to make sure everything is in [...]

Nokia Drive is NOT going to be available on to other WP OEMs
A couple of days ago there were some rumours we didn’t post on about Nokia Drive becoming a paid app for other platforms. Whilst that would have given some revenue to Nokia, that kind of loses the edge for the current Nokia Lumia’s having that full fledged sat-nav on the go. (Well, it depends on [...]
CoJoGo – Brazilian made Nokia N9 egg game – free at Nokia Store
Melissa, a developer and designer from Brazil emailed us about her application for MeeGo-Harmattan (Nokia N9) called, Co – The Game/’Co (JoGo)’. They said (and they noted their English wasn’t too good) One day we had the idea to make a simple game for mobile, different from all the complex things we have today, agame where you take the eggs from the chickens while it fell to the ground. Then, little by little and [...]
Leaked Belle for C7! (Official Release Date Soon???)
We’ve all seen the leaked versions of Symbian Belle for the N8 (a fair number of us have tried it), but for the first time Symbian Belle for C7-00 has been leaked. I’m quite sure this is the first leaked non-N8 firmware as when Anna was leaked it was also a N8 only process. As always TRY [...]

Rejoice fellow brethren of the USofA the Everyday Amazing Lumia 800 can be yours TODAY for the not so low low price of $789 ( 508 BP) from Expansy-USA, quite a bit more expensive then the N9 even (16 GB version is $689 , so that’s a whole extra Benjamin for the WP goodness).

Lumiappaday #4: Adobe Reader (for PDF) demoed on Nokia Lumia 800
We did a Lumiappaday. this morning already, but as I mentioned, we will be doing more than one on some days to get the whole collection of apps I’ve got so far (as well as the new ones). This app we’re looking at should really be there by default but it’s not and saying [...]
Nokia Lumia 800 takes two top 3 spots in Vodafone’s Most Popular page?
WMPoweruser is reporting that the Nokia Lumia is apparently outselling Android handsets like the Sensation and SGSII, second only to the 16GB iPhone 4S. http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/catalog/phoneGridView.jsp?categoryId=cat70018 I don’t know if that’s actually sales but it is clearly on this chart ahead of the new BlackBerry 9900(white), and every other Androids, white iPhones, 32GB iPhones etc. We [...]
Nokia N9 best antenna performance so far
Nokia Conversations is reporting on Antenna Man Sam and Nokia’s research Centre where they’re testing out, amongst various things, Antenna performance. Apparently the Nokia N9 clad in polycarbonate for Antenna performance, is indeed top of the chart. The similarly designed Lumia 800 supposedly is yet to be tested. What other devices does the N9 best? [...]
Nokia Store Gifts: 30 days to download

I don’t know what the full list of apps is, and like before there may be some regional differences/restrictions. I’m [...]
Super Massive Review of the Nokia N9!
Nitish has a series of layman’s take on his Nokia reviews where pretty much investigates every aspect of the phone to suit – well the layman . I’ve not got through it all but Jill who tipped this in says it’s an incredible 11,000 words long! Wow. That’ll give even Tomi Ahonen a run for [...]

Nokia Lumia 800 sold out in some Orange Stores.
I don’t know what the stock size is at Orange stores but I keep getting reports that they’re selling out of Nokia Lumia 800s. The one in Manchester has sold plenty and has sold out of cases for the Lumia 800. In Liverpool and Preston, a couple of friends said they went there to [...]

She loves me, she loves me not. Lumia is selling, lumia might not? What’s going on? The news surrounding whether Lumia is a hit sways back into Nokia’s camp as UK sales are excellent.
