Nokia Lumia 800 on Orange Austria’s Best Seller page

Nokia Lumia 800 on Orange Austria’s Best Seller page

| February 18, 2012 | 16 Replies

A little Lumia update for Nokia Lumia 800 in Austria. Apparently, on Orange, it’s a best seller, reaching the top of their Faux book case thingy. https://www.orange.at/Content.Node/shop/ Let’s hope that’s actually translating into some good numbers. Something like this is possibly more indicative of good sales as opposed to ‘sold out’ which might be more [...]

Invincible Nokia strikes Reddit front page again

Invincible Nokia strikes Reddit front page again

| February 18, 2012 | 14 Replies

Hey, remember that front page post on Reddit about the invincible Nokia breaking the floor? Since then it’s exploded into a wordwide meme associating Nokia with some sort of invincibility. Well the older products anyway (though their newer ones are more robust than the average from competitors). http://mynokiablog.com/2011/12/27/nokia-nostalgia-top-news-front-page-reddit/ Here it is again on Reddit. http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/puwqe/dropped_my_nokia_down_the_stairs_and_then_it_took/ [...]

Lumiappaday #95: My Data Speed demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800

| February 18, 2012 | 1 Reply

  I got emailed a while ago asking for an application that would tell you the bandwidth speed of your internet connection. With the N900 it could simply load up desktop like flash and interact with it as so. The likes of the Lumia/N9 don’t have flash though (and they’re a little too heavy for [...]

Do you remember that post about Nokia Belle Widgets? The ones in addition to the official widgets? http://mynokiablog.com/2012/02/11/weekend-read-nokia-belle-working-widgets/ Mario got the image above from an advert that linked to NokiaSuite.pl, perhaps for updating Belle. He noticed some new widgets that aren’ there by default. Here’s Mario’s message: I was just looking up this Deezer thing [...]

Weekend Rumours: Nokia PureView 808 Dual Core? #N8Successor

Weekend Rumours: Nokia PureView 808 Dual Core? #N8Successor

| February 18, 2012 | 77 Replies

I wouldn’t normally post this because I don’t know how reliable the source is so take it quite lightly. Apparently the Nokia 808 PureView might have Dual Core according to a tipster on nokiapoweruser. It would be very interesting to see how Symbian performs with even more power under the hood, given how optimized it is [...]

Weekend Read: Windows 8 Logo – Finnish Flag inspired (or Shetland flag).

Yesterday you might have seen the Windows 8 logo was revealed. This time gone away are the curves, now there are straight angular lines that are core to the new Metro UI in Windows 8, to which Nokia is expected to produce some new products (tablets) on. They do actually look like a Windows now. [...]
