Last week we mentioned that the Xbox Live companion app was available at MarketPlace but I wasn’t able to download it at the time. I just got it now and it’s working great. I thought I’d make this #25 in our lumiappaday series.   #25) XBox Companion Price: Free Link: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-GB/apps/b057fbe2-ceb1-470f-a7fe-09c862ca6dd9 Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbyGxsTp5Os   Developer Blurb: Discover [...]

Act quickly, offer valid while quantities last!!!

This is a test I did with my previous Nokias, fascinated by what each software update may have been doing regarding boot up times, updates not always guaranteed to bring faster start up (sometimes it might be slower). I’ve mentioned before that the Lumia 800 has a quick start up time but it’s not really [...]

Something that I’ve been envious about is those who have been lucky enough to have the Lumia 800 sold in their country. (I guess unlucky in a way, as they missed out on the N9.) I was looking up prices for the N9 (which is listed at AUD$570 btw), when I stumbled across Mobicity selling [...]

More love for the Nokia Lumia 800 over at the Netherlands, going directly to Vodafone’s best sellers list.

  Here’s GSM Arena’s test on the battery life of the Nokia Lumia 800. It has an endurance rating of 35H. That’s 4hours shy from their results with the Nokia N9 so I guess that’s pretty good if that’s what they got (in terms of relative usage). http://blog.gsmarena.com/nokia-lumia-800-battery-test-now-over-see-how-it-did-test/ If you want to further extend your [...]
