Dear MNB readers, During CES 2012, we reported on Microsoft’s Smoked By A Windows Phone challenge (Link) where MS demonstrated WP7 Mango’s ability to perform everyday tasks quicker than most smartphones/OSes. Well, those series of events inspired me to make a few videos of the things that I use my Lumia 710 for each day and [...]
Hello MNB readers! Adding to our Nokia Lumia coverage is my very first Unboxing video (ever) of the Lumia 710. The video itself isn’t anything special and was quickly put together but what is special is the value that the Lumia 710 provides, the build quality and access to content. There are some of us that still wish [...]
Eventhough the Lumia 710 was originally priced at a very affordable 50 dollars when you buy it with a two year contract, it’s now on a “Web Only Offer” for $39.99 (Ten whole dollars off!)- offer doesn’t have an expiration date which would make it seem that this is a bit permanent. http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones/ At first [...]
I’ve seen seeing a lot of Finnish videos titled ”Nokia Lumia-testaaja” so I’m guessing there’s some kind of competition to test a Nokia Lumia? (Google likes to translate it as Snow tester). More info on that seems to be here: http://aani.nokia.fi/2012/01/12/sinustako-nokia-lumia-testaaja/ One of the entries (Which Nokia Suomi commented on) shows a Finnish Darth Vader and [...]
Today’s Lumiappaday is an alternative to the very popular weather application ‘accuweather’ (any Symbian or Meego user is sure to be familiar with it). Vädret (which is just the Sweedish word for weather- see you already learnt something new today) is an extremely nice weather client available for free from the WP marketplace. Vädret allows you to save [...]
Back in 2007, Nokia acquired Enpocket, a Media Advertising Business. This made sense with Nokia’s efforts on this new thing called Ovi and the blanket of internet services that could become a great source of revenue for Nokia. We all know what happened to Ovi services, one by one got shut down due to not [...]
As expected there’s going to be some reshuffling of the Nokia Board and here’s what Nokia has put forward yesterday. The new Chairman proposed by Nokia is the much reported Risto Saliismaa. Out: Chairman, Jorma Ollila (Chairman since 1999-2012, Chairman and CEO since 1999-2006, Board member since 1995, President and CEO 1992-1999, Joined 1985) [...]
Here’s what I found to be a funny Amazing Everyday video by Nokia Austria. Well just one part, the rest shows some impressive Nokia Lumia branding. The bit I found funny was when a couple of guys dress up as Nokia Lumia sponges and proceed to hump a car in order to clean it. 00:15 [...]
This tip is quite straight-forward, found it by chance while trying to update Whatsapp to 1.7 (fixes the Broken image sending bug); well straight to it. If you know that an application has been updated, and that the update is available yet it’s not showing in the Marketplace as “updateable” all you have to do [...]
DKM has a screenshot of the Microsoft Business App widget, one of many new features available with the update he originally shared here as well as some dynamic email icon widgets in the updated email app. That wallpaper looks especially nice. For tips with images, like DKM and co, you can send them to tips@mynokiablog.com (or tip [...]
This was pointed out a few times in comments and emails, but the Official Belle page that said it was coming 8th February to existing S^3/Anna devices has now disappeared. It could have just been moved somewhere else but I’m yet to find the moved page. Original Link: http://www.nokia.com.vn/belle/sw Cached page http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:YQcMf1bsTbgJ:www.nokia.com.vn/belle/sw+http://www.nokia.com.vn/belle/sw&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk It could be [...]
Bouncy Mouse is a very bright, colourful, great looking game that’s simple and fun to play. Your mouse has to collect cheese and kick the cat in the face at the end (or something). To collect cheese, you have to swing in between points by pulling the mouse back like it’s on a sling shot [...]
I don’t want to or like posting about ElMu as he does post a lot of his opinions/wishes as facts. One of them was that WP7 apps will be totally incompatible with the new WP8. A lot of the blogosphere likes to reiterate what he says as fact (92,000 N9 only yet obviously there’s [...]
First, I am not sure this is the case but the tipster is a regular one so I’m trusting that this was the case for them. Apparently upon connecting the Nokia 701 through Nokia Suite, the Microsoft apps promised for Symbian Belle that we heard about in September became available today as an update. [...]
The folks at MobileFun sent this to me aaages ago but never got around to posting due to other commitments, but now with much of the heavy term and exams over for a while, I’m able to look at accessories again. What we’re looking at is the Pocket Boom Portable Speaker. Package: Instructions 1 [...]
Nokia Australia have just sent me an email saying the Nokia Lumia 800 will be out through Aussie operators from March. Apparently the phone has received positive feedback here from operators even before any decision was made to bring in down under. (Curious why 900 LTE hasn’t had a mention since a large operator here [...]
Here’s what the innards of the Nokia Lumia 800 looks like as done by TechRepublic. They have a video embedded but I don’t know how to get the embed code (and can’t be bothered to look at the page source). I’m not sure what they’re reiterating about the “single piece metal casing”. What metal [...]
What to say, what to say, what to say?? The second I saw the N950 (back when we thought it was the N9) I wanted one so bad, the OS, the E7 Body, The awesome keys… sadly I know as much about developing as there are “P”s in the word Zero; regardless for all of you lucky [...]
Here’s one of many apps of this stacking style. I liked the colourful nature of this one and the monster theme. All you have to do is choose where to drop your monster blocks and make sure it balances for at least the defined time. There are other game modes in addition to going through [...]
Now I’m not sure about everywhere else, Nokia most likely will try to get a close to a global release as they can but at least there is a confirmed date somewhere. Mark this in your diaries. 8th February 2012. That’s on time based on the official Nokia Belle update dates (though not if we [...]
Following the stats of S40 reaching 1.5 BILLION, Steve Litchfield from AAS got to thinking, how much Symbian phones have been sold to date? This was passed last Autumn apparently. Whilst this isn’t just Nokia, I would have thought that since Nokia does make up a significant bulk of Symbian, it makes the other sellers [...]
