Nokia 808 PureView official sample – Zooming to the stars

| March 18, 2012 | 10 Replies

Advertisements   Well not quite the stars you had in mind, but some star fruits. Nokia posted these from their facebook page. Note these are facebook uploads which tend to severely degrade quality but they look quite decent. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150595399377397&set=a.10150595399062397.379999.36922302396&type=1&permPage=1 Feel the detail and vibrancy. The stars.

  Here’s a video of some CFW for the Nokia N8 (plenty about). They’ve changed the start up animation to that of the Nokia N9 (no more Nokia hands). The animations look ok in some places but nauseasting and over the top in others. I do somewhat like how the homescreen pages swivel. I don’t […]

Here’s a video of somebody playing with the Nokia 808 Camera from start up. I don’t know what happened at first as the screen remained black even though they were taking pictures. You can see how they take a picture of the wine label, zoom in, and then further zoom in to still crisp detail. […]

The four options for shortcuts are: Task-manager/App switcher Battery Saver Lock-Screen/Restart phone Brightness control I was most […]

Nokia Lumia Everywhere on The Sun

That’s the UK tabloid ‘news’paper, The Sun.  It has a huge base of readers which saw 7 ads on the Saturday edition. Not bad. Just yesterday in fact, I was picking up some Mother’s Day stuff (it’s today in the UK, but I believe a different date everywhere else) and noticed quite pleasantly, 4 Nokia […]

Lumiappaday #124: Call of Carlos on the Nokia Lumia 800 #XboxLive

Call of Carlos is a really cool addictive game; where your basically miner trapped in a mine shaft trying to escape from boiling hot lava- at which point it occurs to him that this would be a good time to collect some diamonds (screw logic).  Basically you have to launch your pic-axe from platform to platform and grapple on it till you reach the […]

Windows 8 Police Car app; Kinect Virtual Reality Skyrim

  A couple of engadget posties: First up a Windows 8 app that controls a police car. The controls are either set up like a little control panel dashboard or you can activate by voice. It looks like a panel from Star Trek :S. This might not be the first I’d be able to use […]
