Lumia 800 Battery Test Results (Vs. N9, iPhone, Galaxy Nexus…)
GSMarenas Battery test for the Lumia 800 are in; and the results are bittersweet. Just to keep things in perspective for everyone; the main comparison should be between the Lumia 800 and the N9, considering that they both have the same battery, same type of screen and almost the same screen size (Lumia 800 is .2 inches smaller screen-wise).

Lumiappaday #45: Occupied demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800
Occupied is a reaction style game with a twist. The theme is rest rooms, rather getting the right people to the right rest room. It’s a lot more fun and addictive than it sounds. You’ll start of easy, going from just separating men/women, but then gradually it gets harder. The toilets move, you have [...]
#N9Hacks: Hide App Shortcuts + Enable Terminal without Dev Mode (Terminal)
Do you have pre-installed apps you never use but can’t delete? App icons taking up too much space? I know I never use User Guide and it is just sitting there taking up icon space. I used Terminal to hide it, by making the shortcut a “hidden” file. Here’s how; (Obviously replace userguide with the [...]
#N9Hacks: Call UI Mod (Terminal)
Today’s hack has to do with the Call-UI. I came across a Mod that I like, mainly because I found the buttons too small for my fingers. What this mod does, is makes the answer, reject and silent buttons bigger, as well as enlarging the contact’s avatar. I didn’t like how big the avatar was [...]
Nokia and Monster coming to CES for more new exciting products.
The Monster folks behind Beats and Nokia Purity are apparently joining Nokia again. In just over a week, Nokia and Monster are coming to CES to share new products.

Lumiappaday #44: Tentacles demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800 #XboxLive
You are a tentacled being and you have to navigate through the guts of Dr Phluff. Pretty neat gameplay, tapping around the screens to move your tenticles either to grab points/kill enemies or latch onto walls. The game looks and the soundtrack is fantastic, quite ominous. Runs excellent on the Lumia 800 though I have [...]

Nokia Lumia 900 sale listing? Hang on a minute…
I often find it funny when images I’ve put together just for illustration purposes end up on other sites with the watermark removed posing as their own work (which is funny since it’s 99% of the time some 2 second MS paint job) We got a tip of a possible Nokia 900 sales listing and [...]

As Jay mentioned yesterday the Lumia 800 was participating in Gizmodos “Gadget of the Year Contest” where it was first pitted against some lowly headphones (seeding purposes), then against a slightly more worthy foe The Nintendo 3DS, which unsurprisingly didn’t stand a chance. After that the Lumia 800 matched up against Androids latest flagship The Galaxy Nexus by samsung; unfortunately the 800 didn’t [...]
