How Long Lumia Phone? Video Series

| January 31, 2012 | 11 Replies

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 to show how quickly I can do those using the Lumia 710. Bear in mind that I have neither the glitz, glam, lighting nor budget of CES/MS but hey….I hope the videos are clear enough to get the point across. :)

A little reasoning on the word “Done!” in the videos….I used to watch game shows (like Family Feud) on TV in the 80s where teams would compete and there was a buzzer/button/audible indicator to signal when a team was finished with the task…so I say “Done!”….maybe not a good idea ;) Without further delay:

Get Directions:

GPS Lock:

Weather:

Launch Xbox Live Games:

Web Page Loading:

Power Cycle Device:

All videos were recorded (N8) a few weeks ago and I hope to have time to take requests and make more videos in better lighting conditions.

Please feel free to request any tasks that you would like to see added to the How Long Lumia Phone? series.

As always, thank you for visiting MyNokiaBlog.com and have a great day!

    Personally, I think “done!” made it sound awesome.

    Good stuff! It surely can get thing done faster than my N900. I am at a tipping point to go get one rather than waiting for Lumia 900.

    I wonder how fast N9 can perform all these tasks!

      It would be nice to have some Nokia swag/gear. A nice t-shirt that says How Long Lumia Phone? on the front and when I turn around the back says “Done!” with the Nokia logo at the bottom. :D

      I’ll take a regular Lumia shirt too though :P
