Jaydee tipped us off in the comments section about a new video ‘preview’ eventhough it’s over 40 minutes which makes it a short movie in my opinion; the video is by one Amanda Lam (thanks alot!), thankfully even though the video is in Chinese (I think, possibly Korean?) it has English subtitles about what feature is being discussed, so you [...]

Simo sent in this image he took at a Microsoft Store in McLean, Virginia (Washington DC suburb). You can see the Nokia Lumia 710 is available there for free with a qualifying plan. I’m not sure what that plan is. In the UK, free phones on contracts are common place (even for new phones), but [...]

Lumiappaday #78 is a Periodic Table app called Periodic Table Pro. Not sure what the Pro is for since there’s no paid version (ad supported only). This is a panoramic Periodic Table of Elements, useful perhaps for those studying Chemistry or related subjects. Clicking on the any element brings up a panoramic page of details [...]

N9 (Not N950) PR 1.2 being offered to devs. Commercial release soon?

| February 1, 2012 | 65 Replies

A developer told me he received an email earlier today from Nokia, informing him that he can order an N9 that will come with PR 1.2 on it, to test his applications. Of course, we already know devs are using PR 1.2 on their N950s, but with the minor hardware differences, not all developers can [...]

| February 1, 2012 | 49 Replies

  This MyDreamNokia isn’t a completely new design (though it’s not the first where we’ve just seen one shell edited to have a different UI). That’s OK when the design is as stunning as the 800/N9. Here as you can see we have the Lumia 800 (real, on the right) with the Lumia 810 concept. [...]

Now that’s not what you’d expect since cheaper phones are intended to make profit on the basis of bulk sales, whilst the fewer but more expensive [...]

| February 1, 2012 | 24 Replies

Apparently the Nokia developer site bugs page, some folks are already testing out the Nokia Carla update (which dsmobile says is like Belle, but nicer). The link is inaccessible unless you have an account with Nokia Developer. Since we can’t get in to check there might be some doubt as to whether this is real. [...]
