Just after posting that Nokia Drive & Maps have been updated the guys on twitter asked if anyone has Nokia Transit yet- and lo and behold one search in the marketplace later and we got it. The main feature of Nokia transit is bringing you real time scheduling/planning of your routes to let you know when you should [...]
As promised by Nokia at MWC Nokia Maps for WP have just received an update through the marketplace bumping Drive up to 2.0 & maps to 1.3, the changelog for each is: Drive: Completely offline route planning and navigation Notice of speed limits Advanced dashboard with more details and list of recent destinations. Maps: set favourite locations which [...]
Last year we heard that Nokia would reduce the delay between the times phones are announced to the times they are available. [Image from http://mynokiablog.com/2011/04/27/nokias-windows-phone-coming-q4-oct-dec-2011-accenture-staff-to-be-retrained-for-windows-phone-after-symbian/ ] With the Nokia Lumia 800, they announced that they were shipping already on the day of announcement, with availability when they reach the shelves. Amazing stuff, Nokia turning things [...]
In February it was reported that Symbian sales in the UK would be taken over by Windows Phone soon. http://mynokiablog.com/2012/02/21/windows-phone-sales-about-to-overtake-symbian-this-month-in-uk-lumia-the-lionshare-of-wp/ Just to reiterate what was last said, it is not so much WP growing significantly but Symbian sales continuing their trend and crashing in the UK. Having said that, it is still worth noting that [...]
The Qt Blog has posted that 20 companies are going to be in London showing set top boxes powered by Qt (various flavours Qt, QT Quick, Qt Webkit). These offer low cost, attractive easy open source implementation of a media centre. http://blog.qt.nokia.com/2012/03/19/20-companies-showing-qt-at-iptv-world-forum They’ll be at the iP4.tv booth #191. Httv (Booth #25 – [...]
Former baseball star and current ESPN baseball Analyst John Kruk has apparently been recruited by Nokia to appear in one of their Nokia Lumia 900 adverts. Interesting to note that Kruk is a popular twitter user who isn’t on the usual iPhone or BlackBerry but is on Android. He seems to think that Nokia’s WP [...]
A couple of stories that I thought I might roll into one. First WMPU reports that Nokia have added more bluetooth profiles for the Nokia Lumia 900. Surur says: We suggest of Nokia wants to use their freedom to extend Windows Phone Bluetooth features, they may want to add Bluetooth File Transfer for when [...]
I’m in the library at the moment and don’t have my N9 to check but Jill says there’s another update for FireFox for the Nokia N9. Have you seen this update? Cheers jody / buzzinga for the tip.
TechCrunch reports and are somewhat very surprised to hear that in a poll conducted by Vuclip looking at the different choices between men and women, Nokia came out as the top choice for their NEXT phone! http://techcrunch.com/2012/03/19/when-it-comes-to-phones-men-are-more-price-sensitive-according-to-vuclip/ 37% chose Nokia 25% chose iPhone The sample size chosen was 560,000. A decent enough sample size, though [...]
Broken Wing Plus is part of that popular genre of jumping along the screen. The theme here is a bird that has fallen and has broken its wing. Instead of flying up it has to jump up. There are three difference modes: Quest, Challenge and Insane, the latter being the faster mode. Avoid the red [...]
There is quite a few FM Radio apps for the N9 available now, but this is one of my favourite. Simple, good looking, and feature packed. It features; Auto scan function, The ability to save stations, Customisable station names Manual tuning Choice of headphones or speaker (although headphones act as antenna and must be plugged [...]
Nokia Conversations are running something called March App Madness. http://conversations.nokia.com/2012/03/19/who-will-win-march-app-madness It’s one of those vote for your favourite app thingies. I found the banter at the comments between the Nokia folks hilarious.
Last week we got an email from the source of one of the 808 PureView stories that they also have a listing for the Nokia Lumia 610. http://mynokiablog.com/2012/03/08/nokia-808-pureview-april-23rd-at-464-98/ I’ve not used them before and the comments from users who said they’ve dealt with them didn’t look to favourable so bear that in mind. But at [...]
How odd, I thought this handset was already available but apparently not according to these sources: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tech/personal-tech/gadgets-special/Nokia-launches-Asha-303-in-India/articleshow/12330537.cms http://gadgets.ndtv.com/shownews.aspx?id=GADEN20120197147&Sec=NEWS&nid=187653 This is expected around Rs 8990. The Nokia Asha 303 was the handset GSM Arena dubbed as dangerously close to being a smartphone. http://mynokiablog.com/2012/01/08/weekend-read-nokia-303-review-dangerously-close-to-smartphones-by-gsm-arena/ Whilst being a budget phone, it doesn’t skimp on design, build or [...]
These promotions aren’t new. We get them all the time in the UK but what’s interesting is that the price of the contract plans seem absurdly cheap. I couldn’t get the translator to work properly so I might have missed something. http://www.gsmeasy.nl/ I’m not familiar with the site but it seems highly ranked enough [...]
I can’t say I understood this ad the first time I watched it in between lecture breaks yesterday or the second time whilst writing up about it. I think it has something to do with a QWERTY challenge. It might be part of that “QWERTY ME” campaign that we have also seen going on [...]
We all thought Nokia would not try and sell Symbian in the USA, and technically they are no longer putting any new Symbian phones there. However, it is at least new to me that they have the Nokia 700 appearing on their Nokia USA site with a link to Amazon no less should you wish [...]
