Visualized: Nokia as we knew it, striving for survival.

Advertisements I came across this video and upon watching it, many memories of Nokia rushed through my mind, its old struggles and new struggles, competition from rivals Samsung, Apple, OS rivals-Android, iOS and basically the media at large. Maybe it is just me and my memories of using Nokia tech, TV-out via RGB, GPUs back in the […]

Quick heads up as I’m still in a meeting, the 12072 update for Nokia Lumia 800 is rolling out. I hate the naming of the update as I frankly can’t tell one from another.   I just got this email from Nokia to let me know about a new software update for the Lumia 800. […]

I saw this on Twitter this morning on my way to Uni, and was surprised it hadn’t been posted yet. Financial Times have reported that Nokia are in talks to sell off Vertu, their luxury phones division. I can’t say it is a surprising decision. I have never really seen Vertu phones in the wild, […]

Lumiappaday #167: SniperBoy demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800

| April 30, 2012 | Reply

SniperBoy is a game about a kid with a sniper riple who has to shoot some robot targets down. His rifle fires a laser which may or may not bounce, showing where his bullet will ricochet. It’s actually a lot of fun, and reminds me somewhat of Portals 2D. Try to make sure you shoot […]

Attraction for Nokia Mobile Phones waning, worry on the next billion

Attraction for Nokia Mobile Phones waning, worry on the next billion

    Nokia’s star in emerging markets is apparently fading too.   Analysts say it has failed to keep up with the changing tastes of the growing middle class, and, in a country where the thin-margin network operators don’t tend to subsidise phones, is losing storeowners like Khatri, who influence buyers’ choices.

Check this out – someone has taken apart a Nokia Lumia 800 and modified it so that it could charge wirelessly. Well, you have to place it on the Palm Touchstone for conduction charging. They opened up the Lumia 800, stuck what looks like a copper coil inside. Metal was taken out so that this […]

Apologies that I missed this the first time around when it was shared a couple of days ago. My schedule is getting rather busy all over again. Anyway, as you can see from incognito’s screenshot, he now has FireFox mobile 12 on his Nokia N9. Timo says this is available at Nokia Store and incognito […]
