I’ve become a little cold to the repetitive nature of the ‘smoked by WP’ then ‘smoked by lumia’ turned ‘The Lumia Challenge’ videos. You may have read several of my posts now expressing my concern about this campaign. But recently I’ve been asked by some non-techy friends about Lumia who heard from other friends [...]
I’m not sure if this is a placeholder, but Tesco Direct has a product page for the Nokia 808 PureView! Could Tesco (UK) sell the Nokia 808 PureView? Tesco is the second largest retailer in the world by profit (after Walmart) http://www.tesco.com/direct/nokia-808-pureview-sim-free-white/623-2958.prd At the moment, the tesco sidebar says: Sorry, there are currently no sellers [...]
A growing standard amongst phones of 2012 are the 720p 1280×720 pixel displays or variations close to that. Such devices have screen sizes of around 4.7-5.4″ displays – or thereabouts. It wasn’t that long ago that it was actually Nokia that was ahead in bringing smartphones with high resolution displays. For some reason, we got [...]
Surprise, surprise! Apple wins the nano-SIM drama. http://mynokiablog.com/2012/03/27/the-nano-sim-fuss-between-apple-and-nokia/ http://mynokiablog.com/2012/03/30/nokia-apple-nano-sim-fuss-episode-2-rim-accuses-apple-of-cheating/ As to the repercussions for everyone else (particularly, Nokia, RIM, Moto who were against the Apple design) I’m not quite sure. Currently in the middle of doing a massive clean for our house as everyone’s moving out. Here are some sources to read: http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/news/mobile-phone/3361531/apple-wins-battle-over-nano-sim-standard/ http://www.slashgear.com/apples-nano-sim-design-chosen-by-etsi-01231195/ [...]
Central location for all notifications seems to be something many people wish they had in their Windows Phone devices. This is a very convenient feature to have, so there is a certain justification for that demand. Notification centres are a great way to show users all the new content that requires user’s attention and to [...]
I wasn’t the most excited about Nokia Reading when it was launched since I already had Amazon Kindle. I also thought it wouldn’t be as good an experience. I was pleasantly surprised to be wrong. Reading is rather pleasant – it has as expected the night/day options to save the AMOLED screens from eating too [...]
Check out this super cool Nokia Evolution infographic. This got tweeted to me by Maksim Elistratov @BST_1, I think N95 (for 2006) is missing. N9 should technically come after 808 in terms of design – that’s my favourite Nokia design out of all of them so far (sleek obsidian monoblock with no buttons and swipe!) Loving the [...]
Last month we heard that the Lumia 900 would be coming to Australia in June. Without further ado, on June 1, the Lumia 900 is out. For now, it has appeared online (updated after the retail stores closed this afternoon) so there is no way of knowing (until tomorrow of course) if the device will [...]
Nokia has apparently responded to Google’s Antitrust complaint Though we have not yet seen the complaint, Google’s suggestion that Nokia and Microsoft are colluding on IPR [Intellectual Property Rights] is wrong. Both companies have their own IPR portfolios and strategies and operate independently… …We agree with Google that Android devices have significant IP infringement issues, [...]
This is a very interesting infographic above that compares the margins between the Nokia Lumia 900 and the Apple iPhone. Nokia are apparently making a margin of $241 per each Nokia Lumia 900 sold $450 whilst iPhone are getting $459 out of each iPhone sold at $649. Were Nokia to charge at the same price, [...]
A site counting down the Nokia 808 PureView in India has appeared. 111 hours away. They start off with a little quiz asking where you think those sunglasses might be and then this appears. You can place your email address at the bottom Are you excited? http://www.pureview.in/ Here’s what you get in the email Cheers [...]
Fairly busy Uni schedule, got this semesters finals over the next 3 weeks, so I am putting all these into one megapost. I frequently scan through TMO and check out, as well as test out, some of the latest N9 Apps and Hacks out there. First up we have a theme. The theme is called [...]
Antti sent us this screenshot showing some more movement by the Nokia 808 PureView at Navifirm. The version number and files are now present. Cheers Antti for the tip!
Google, who purchased Motorola for patents and are being investigated for possibly abusing their patents in the EU are trying to shift the attention to Nokia and Microsoft. Back in September, we heard how Nokia was using MOSAID to monetize Nokia’s intellectual property, asserting Nokia’s rights to their patents. Nokia’s IP helped bring in [...]
Potentially there will be a Nokia tablet running W8. Yesterday, some videos appeared showing the latest iteration of the release preview in action. First up, the promo. Nice song. Note, MS are still being coy about the desktop version of Windows 8 (NON Metro) – and will not look much like what we’re seeing now. [...]
Let’s take a look at this story from Barrons where according to their research, Lumia was a ‘hot phone’ 4-5 weeks after launch but had cooled down after in favour of the newer Droids, apparently taking the consumer mindshare. http://online.barrons.com/article/SB50001424053111904081004577436772435135812.html?mod=BOL_twm_da In terms of the USA and the Nokia Lumia 900 black and cyan frequently shuffle [...]
