Lumiappaday #185: Hardboiled Pinball demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800

| May 18, 2012 | 2 Replies

  Hey, this is Hardboiled Pinball – a very simple pinball game. In the demo that I recorded a while ago, I didn’t realise that landscape view was available in settings ( I had wondered why the game started in landscape and then showed a portrait gameplay). I advise you to switch to landscape as [...]

Video: Nokia Lumia 900 vs Hammer. Nokia Lumia 900 is the hammer.

| May 18, 2012 | 24 Replies

  I saw this video RT’d into my timeline by markmurray98119. It shows a test of the Nokia Lumia 900 against a hammer. The hammer’s force is concentrated with a nail. Admittedly it doesn’t look like such a strong thump though that would be sufficient force to push that nail into some MDF. Anywhoo – what [...]

More confirmation that the Nokia 808 PureView is heading to China. Tenaa  is a telecommunications equipment certification center in China, famous apparently for taking bad product photos. Anyway, we already glimpsed the Nokia 808 PureView presence in China back at the start of April with these crazy zooming samples. http://mynokiablog.com/2012/04/02/wow-nokia-808-pureview-sample-pictures-from-china-crazy-detail/ Source: tenaa via tieba.baidu.com Cheers aikon171 [...]

Is this filmed with the Nokia 808 PureView? Nokia presents: Adventures in Los Angeles

Is this filmed with the Nokia 808 PureView? Nokia presents: Adventures in Los Angeles

| May 18, 2012 | 25 Replies

  Remember the post about Nokia Adventures that didn’t really make much sense? http://mynokiablog.com/2012/05/12/weekend-watch-nokia-presents-adventures-in-london-what-does-this-have-to-do-with-anything/ The only way that could have made sense for me was if it was filmed with the Nokia 808 PureView. But it seemed on occasion the depth of field was too shallow for a phone camera. But of course, the 808 [...]

Interesting promo from Nokia Poland. They have the Nokia Lumia 610 being demoed but interestingly, they have an overly of the UI to show what’s happening with panoramic Metro UI. It’s pretty cool As mentioned before, this kind of interface works great for Lumia phone but equally it could translate itself easily to tablets. I [...]

Windows Phone/Lumia in China – Yay or nay? Possible 7% Marketshare in China?

Windows Phone/Lumia in China – Yay or nay? Possible 7% Marketshare in China?

| May 18, 2012 | 54 Replies

  I was rather skeptical to read the WP blogs saying that WP was apparently getting some initial traction in China. Oh you know I’d of course like it to be true, but I’m not too convinced as evident by my rather hesitant title. Both WMPoweruser and WPcentral are reporting that WP has exceeded iPhone’s [...]

Windows Phone Marketplace charging me twice for apps. AGAIN. Why?! (Sorted)

Windows Phone Marketplace charging me twice for apps. AGAIN. Why?! (Sorted)

| May 18, 2012 | 22 Replies

  This is now the second time this has happened. Marketplace has otherwise been a pleasant experience. Fortunately unlike Nokia/Ovi Stire, there is no download limit. You can download as many times as you like. Over and over. Unfortunately, the phone app, you CANNOT see what you have bought and what you haven’t. Well, not [...]
