Got a break in between lecture, so here’s another interesting snippet of news. From Nokia’s Press Release. It sounds quite ominous. I don’t like big news from Nokia as the last time we ended up with a whole switch reverse strategy. Anyway, apparently on Monday, Nokia will be announcing “Significant Industry News”. I’m not sure [...]

Go Tyra! Erm… Here’s a funny video that landed in our tips section – and it’s actually a cool promo for the Nokia N9. I’m not sure where it’s from, I couldn’t find anything about it. There’s no link, nothing appearing in search engine or  twitter :S.   Nokia’s Next Hand Model puts the spot [...]

Do you remember the Smoked by Windows Phone thing at CES 2012? http://mynokiablog.com/2012/01/13/videos-smoked-by-windows-phone-ben-the-pc-guys-ces-challenge/ Apparently, since that’s getting some traction it has become part of MS’s official Marketing. http://www.theverge.com/2012/2/23/2819450/microsoft-marketing-smoked-by-windows-phone Anywhoo, I just saw on my feed Nokia India tweeting something called, “Blown Away by the Nokia Lumia” which I’m guessing is of the same style. Anyone [...]

  I’ve been using this app for quite a while and forgot its there until Iain Wallace tweeted me last week recommending it as one to share in our Lumiappaday segments.

  As per request and as I said I myself, I will try to make these N9Apps segment a little bit more regular (lol, as if I have extra time appearing from thin air :p). To do so, I mentioned some might have just photos of the N9 demoing the app as opposed to with [...]

Poll: Nokia N8 Successor, for the benefit of Nokia, does it need to be Symbian, WP or Both?

| February 24, 2012 | 168 Replies

There seems to be some confusion and doubts in the blogosphere as to what the N8 successor might actually be running on. It seems highly obvious to some though there is ‘news’ and ‘evidence’ that others put forward to suggest it might be the other. For the benefit of Nokia, what does the N8 successor [...]

Big Boost in Compal Shipments thanks to Nokia?

| February 24, 2012 | 22 Replies

Whilst it’s possible to extrapolate some good news from the fact that Nokia are looking to ship much more devices (this is their year to “ship in volume”) it is a concern by some that they’re doing (part of) it through Compal and not through their own factories. Well, one thing we do not know [...]

The aging BOSS of camera phones from 2010, Nokia N8 is compared another newcomer trying to take the crown.   The verdict from the last comparison was quite controversial. Overall I’m still siding with the Nokia N8. How can you be an overall camera phone without a decent Xenon flash? I wasn’t impressed by the [...]
