| December 2, 2011 | 73 Replies

Advertisements   It was something I’ve been fearing and has been reported through a lot of sources now (from IDC numbers). Nokia’s home market share is less than half what it was this time last year. What are the new competition beating phones in the Nokia portfolio? E7? X7? C7? Hello? What did we have […]

Some more cool goings on at Hong Kong for Nokia Lumia Launch. Here’s a giant Nokia Lumia 800 (Pink) made up of several Lumia 800s and some 710s(600). Very awesome stuff. They’ve even got lumia like Rubik cube. Hold on a second there. What’s up with the back? That’s not where the flash should be. […]

Folks like to tinker with the possible animations on the N8. Here’s a video that Orlando (I think that might be Deep Space Bar here) posted on the N8 facebook group. https://www.facebook.com/NokiaN8 Anyway the video is below. The effects look pretty impressive though some are quite jarring. Video by jinhao1211

I don’t have the actual translation so just going on google translate which might skew some details. Apparently: “RBS estimates that Lumioita sold during the fourth quarter, a total of 850 000 to million pieces.” RBS arvioi, että Lumioita myytäisiin vuoden viimeisellä neljänneksellä yhteensä 850 000:sta miljoonaan kappaletta. Update: Thanks for the translation guys, it […]

Nokia Lumia 800- Phone of Steel, I mean, Polycarbonate

Nokia Lumia 800- Phone of Steel, I mean, Polycarbonate

| December 2, 2011 | 12 Replies

Whoever said that the Lumia 800 is made of cheap plastic should get his head checked. Undoubtedly, this gorgeous beast is made of plastic but the grade of the polycarbonate used is comparable to those found in ice hockey helmets. It is no Kevlar; however neither is it a push-over. For those who have watched […]

Since I unfortunately do not speak Mandarin nor Cantonese (Yes I looked up languages spoken in Hong Kong before posting- I can’t understand how my 5th grade teacher called me lazy.) I have no idea what on earth is going on in this Lumia 800 advertisement from what I assume is a Hong Kong carrier “Bee”. One […]

Just a note – this is just a fun app, just something I liked and that my friends – who are mostly UK Uni students – also found particularly entertaining. As most Uni students will at one time get a really bad hangover, they can empathise with what this app is doing. Again, note, it’s […]
