So we just got back from another hectic day at MWC, loads of fun- bunch of Q&As with some product managers (Dean Patrick from Nokia Entertainment & Jason Gregory from the Lumia Design team – we’ll post those once we do the Q&A with the maps team tomorrow). Anyways today as we were headed out the Nokia Connects guys [...]
The tech newbie knows not what mega pixels are The slightly aware thinks more megapixels the better The more tech familiar might be aware that more MP doesn’t mean better pictures. It’s a common comment of the self proclaimed photography enthusiast – the MP myth. They might even suggest it might be bad. Those [...]
I was browsing Reddit front page and lo and behold another Nokia article. But it’s not the Invincible Nokia Meme. It’s actual Nokia news – well Nokia Siemens Networks. At MWC they showed the future of LTE-Advanced, hitting, wait for it, 1.4 Gbps. Nokia seems to have a thing for 1 and 4 to wow [...]
Here’s a couple of interviews with Engadget teams present and past (now TheVerge). I found it amusing that I mistook the Nokia Asha for one of the Nokia Symbian QWERTYs, “Why is that there, this wasn’t announced at….ohhhh”. It doesn’t just look like a smartphone, it pretty much is one, but at a very low [...]
Here’s a look at the Nokia Lumia 610 hands on – overlooked yesterday (as with the other announcements) due to the behemoth 808. Apologies if some are reuploads, I don’t know why people are uploading other people’s videos :S The Nokia Lumia 610 is further optimised to run on lesser hardware but still maintaining the [...]
I’ve seen some people mention Nokia Belle FP1 as Carla yesterday (I think dsmobile was one) but here you can see that’s the case. Whilst not officially regarded as Carla, the details we have read in the past suggest it’s pretty much that. In earlier reports, we saw Carla as v112, with the Nokia Browser, [...]
So alot of you guys have been asking for a demo of Belle Feature Pack 1 on the 808 highlighting some of the features so here it is: (can’t do anymore as the device is no longer with me)- As always guys Prototype so the video recording is going to get some major changes.. [...]
You asked for it guys, her are some more video samples of the 808 shot in 1080P and 720P at the hotel today (sadly I already had to give the device back so I can’t film anymore) :/ 1080p: 720p:
Nokia has always been provided extreme high quality audio. Back in the day, the likes of the N93 produced high quality stereo audio with rich sound whilst the competition provided those craptastic tinny garbage like it was recorded for MMS video from the year 2006. You could always tell, even today, when video is recorded [...]
OK, just after the last post, I saw more Nokia accessories. http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/accessories/power-and-data/data-cables/nokia-charging-and-data-cable-ca-190cd I’m not sure if these are new but they are new to me. You can see that the Nokia USB cables (Standard black) now come in all Nokia colours – blue, pink, white (and black). There’s something else that looks like it’s one [...]
More cool Nokia accessories! This is the Nokia Universal Portable USB Charger DC-16. Basically it’s a pocket portable charger. I’ve got some from other manufacturers (before Nokia began making their own) and they’re so useful! If you know you’ll be using your phone heavily for a long period of time and that might be [...]
Unlike other WP manufacturers, Nokia has the ability to change the direction of WP development as opposed to just making phones with WP software only. WP Mango was too far down the line, so it’s more Apollo where Nokia would have influence (as well as freedom to express their usual hardware expertise). On Monday, Nokia [...]
I was sick of waiting for the update, so jumped on Navifirm. Why are all updates so delayed for Australia? Anyway, as expected, along with the OTA update of PR 1.2, there has been an update on Navifirm pushed out in the last 24hours. At the moment, I am only getting EU variants (both on [...]
We got a tip from Tulsi about a new multitasking interface for Belle FP1. The link unfortunately was not working but a search found this video (I think it’s a clip from somewhere else). Anyway, as you can see, gone is the silly square thumbnail but instead you have something that looks more like Windows [...]
Here are some Nokia N9 PR1.2 demoes that a tipper shared with us and it takes a look at changes in the browser, new folders and gallery. This update was available to some yesterday but some folks are still waiting. You can read some feedback by our readers on N9 PR1.2 here: http://mynokiablog.com/2012/02/28/your-feedback-on-nokia-n9-pr1-2/ [...]
Here’s the classic block breaking game called Breakout. It’s the usual game play, with 120 levels and some pretty cool power ups. There are two additional modes but I haven’t unlocked them yet as you need to reach past level 130. I’ll end this info short, you can find out more at the developer [...]
SO here’s the video I promised you guys last night of the 808 filming all it’s awesomeness in REALLY lowlight (this was right as we were leaving MWC to go to the WP party); pretty cool hang out in the courtyard at MWC, free coke, popcorn, beer and a bunch of other stuff- Anyways I don’t think I’ve ever seen [...]
It’s not even 24 hours, but there’s been quite a lot of info on the new Nokia 808 PureView. Do you think you will be buying this handset? Are you looking for a different Nokia PureView? Or are you interested in a completely different phone still?
This is apparently on the N8 page for Nokia Europe but I keep getting redirected to Nokia GB which doesn’t have that. It’s a nice bold statement. The only camera phone to properly best the Nokia N8, is yet another Nokia – the Nokia 808 PureView. http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/devices/nokia-n8 Via (via@nokianesia)
The update was bundled into yesterday’s day of awesome where Nokia News was coming left, right and centre, here, there, everywhere. I hope you guys found it ok and were not too overwhelmed. It did make discussion somewhat more difficult as I could not track what was already said where. Anyway, this post is all [...]
http://4.s.img-dpreview.com/files/news/9716437399/NokiaSensor.jpg Nokia caught the gaze of camera centric sites yesterday when they announced the unthinkable. The Nokia 808 PureView. Many phone/tech sites marvelled – all but the ones seemingly naive or jealous of what the 808 is actually capable of. The megapixel race is a game Nokia played yesterday and destroyed. Not only do [...]
