Now Nokia’s officially bringing this and many other camera improvements with an official app that integrates straight into the main camera but until then, this is a nice option. As well as taking pics at 30FPS+ (basically a video with [...]

  First…what? 10 Billion? Nokia’s worth more than that just for the patents alone. Stock market evaluation puts them at 11B (which would be expected to rise sharply should Nokia’s new strategy work out for them and they start bringing in profit again).

Here’s somethin that I found interesting – the Nokia Lumia 800 is available in UAE. Now availability in the Middle East has been difficult for Lumia because of the lack of language and marketplace support. Elop said they would bring Lumia there when the full experience can be had. The UAE Nokia Facebook page has [...]

  Do you remember that Skype was reportedly working on the Nokia Lumia 610 fine? Installing was prohibited through official channels but once you get it on the device it actually works properly. http://mynokiablog.com/2012/05/24/video-skype-on-the-nokia-lumia-610/ Regardless, Nokia/MS were ‘unhappy’ with the performance and will not yet bring it officially. Angry Birds faces this odd problem too. [...]
