Jason of smashpop takes a look at the Nokia N9 firmware update Music player improvement – with lockscreen music controls. Camera improvement with photo filters. Swype keyboard.

The Lumia handset (Available yesterday in some countries) is prominent, but the product page also shows as usual, Belle, NFC, Business Nokia devices as well as accessories. Check it out [...]

OK a couple of different review formats. First up is the very well known TechnoBuffalo. Jon Rettinger puts the Nokia Lumia 800 to his audience and shares his findings in video whilst Ewan MacLeod from Mobile Industry Review has a very long piece of text. Both are iPhone users (though Ewan more into the BlackBerry [...]
Looking at the next generation EDoF – closer shots possible, almost Macro?
Steve Litchfield on his crusade to investigate the EDOF cameras looks at the new generation available in the 701. You may remember us being surprisingly impressed with the EDoF samples in the 600 (now discontinued). Interestingly this same camera is not on the 700 (Steve calls it in fact, “Rubbish” in the comments). http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/features/item/13635_The_Nokia_701_and_EDoF_generat.php [...]
Nokia Lumia 800 – Highest pre-order numbers ever for a Nokia Phone on Orange? (or is it?) updated: Lumia to be a hit says Nokia
Nokia Conversations published a story saying that according to Orange UK, The Nokia 800 was the highest ever pre-ordered Nokia phone. Sounds good. In keeping with the results heard in ThePhoneHouse, France (ThePhoneHouse btw, the largest mobile retailer in Europe). We should note that this is all relative. Some gritty numbers is what we’d like [...]
Stop-motion video: Nokia Lumia Presents: The Little Amazing Show – episode 1
Here’s a stop motion video called, “The little amazing show”. It’s a Promo for the Nokia Lumia which is available in stores today. It says at the end, “Nokia Lumia – filled with the little things that make every day amazing”. It seems, according to the blurb, a part of a series of videos for [...]
Video: Very dramatic Chinese advert for Nokia N9 – “Unfollow” with Fan Bingbing
Elio emailed us this video – it’s a Nokia N9 advert for the China Market. The actress is Fan Bingbing, who I’m told is one of the most popular actress in China. The video is quite dramatic, lasting 2 minutes long and shot in black and white – Fan Bingbing plays a guy who in [...]
New Unannounced Nokia Windows Phone in promo video? Nokia 900/Ace?
My first reaction was…hmm what is this shopped image. It looks a little like the Nokia 700 with the speaker grill lip, but it’s a lot more sleeker looking. Clicking on the video, we’ll see however that it’s an official Nokia video. What’s that about? They’ve used concept/unannounced phones to demo NFC before, remember how [...]
CNN’s Review of the Nokia Lumia 800
Here’s a non-techy review from CNN of the Nokia Lumia 800. I say Non techy as clearly, there are mistakes which can be forgiven. Let’s go through it. http://edition.cnn.com/2011/11/15/tech/lumia-800-review/index.html Calls Nokia hardware exquisite, but says existing line up relied on an “outmodded OS” – Symbian Phone is solidly built Polycarbonate feels something between plastic and [...]
Nokia’s high end WP offering on it’s way, WIndows 8 tablet as well?
The current crop of Windows Phone 7 devices from Nokia is not even widely available yet, but the rumours for the next generation devices are already surfacing. Nokia France’s head might have spoken a little too soon about upcoming products. In a recent interview with the French newspaper Les Echos he said that the current [...]
Free Gifts If You Check-in Tomorrow at ThreeUK stores or Phones4U

Upcoming Symbian Updates: Carla & Donna!??
I usually hate blurrycam images, but when its about two symbian updates that haven’t even been announced I make exceptions. Big exceptions in this case as an image that popped up on Symbianlatino.com appears to show the future road map for Symbian displaying to upcoming updates named “Carla & Donna” The image source claims that [...]
Lumia 800 available in UK tomorrow!
The title says it all, as of tomorrow the Nokia Lumia 800 will be available in all Three stores across the UK, (not sure about the 701 though). I don’t know how phones are usually sold in the UK but I’m guessing that it WILL NOT be contract free considering it’s coming form a service [...]
T-Mobile Germany launches Lumia 800 – With carrier billing!
Here’s an intersting piece of information, or atleast it is if you haven’t been a close Nokia follower. T-Mobile Germany has just announced the availability of the Lumia 800. In itself impressive by Nokia standards since we have grown used to months between announcement and carrier availability, but that’s in the past. The key take-away [...]
Nokia India site also gets facelift

Nokia Uk – Nokia Lumia with Windows Phone presents… Deadmau5 (3D projection mapping on tower?)
nokiauk just uploaded this to their channel. Seems they’re going to do some big things with Nokia Lumia tiles. Big skyscraper things.

Rumours: Official Symbian Belle for Nokia N8 in next week or so?
We’ve been a little more cautious in presenting possible availabilities for firmware updates unless it’s A) from Nokia B) reliable source. From DailyMobile, there’s DannyCanRock – remember that name? He’s the guy who leaked the first Belle and did some demoes. On the 12th November, he said: “I think u guys should be ready for [...]
