Am I jealous of this or what. Chris Davies from SlashGear has got an epic kit with him. The Nokia 808 PureView and a whole host of accessories. http://www.slashgear.com/the-nokia-808-pureview-has-landed-21235165/ flexible-legged GorillaPod style tripod phone clamp (the 808 lacks a proper tripod screw of its own), and a rubber skin protector. external battery, slimline DC-16, for [...]
GSM Arena does a test now to see how low light works on the Nokia 808 PureView. It impresses when Xenon is used and outdoes the camera phones in low light no flash. But the likes of the 550D are on another league (though lens dependent too. A 50mm F1.4 on my 60D takes in [...]
I didn’t pay attention to the headline about Audible and WP8 but this is actually super cool. I love voice commands on my Lumia, in particular, having a conversation for text messages with my actual voice. There were so many times when ordinarily I wouldn’t have been able to get to my phone to read [...]
Nectar is a point system in the UK whereby you get points when you purchase things at different shops. These points translate to monetary value which you can redeem. This app makes it easy to keep track of just how many points you have, what offers are available (to acquire more points than normal or [...]
This was written in by Janne who updates us about the rate of Lumia/WP growth in Finland. Finland Lumia growth for June in StatCounter has this week finally exceeded the rate of growth in May, and sits now at around 9% market-share of existing devices (network use). http://gs.statcounter.com/#mobile_os-FI-monthly-201201-201206 This means that that for the first [...]
I got a couple of mails trying to clarify the reasons why there is no clear WP8 upgrade path for current users. The current situation is a sort of two pronged approach. First, current Lumia handsets aren’t completely abandoned – they will get an update in the form of WP7.8 which brings amongst other things [...]
The Nokia 808 PureView is now officially available in Germany. I believe some Nokia fans from Germany may have already got their hands on the 808 through other retailers, such as Amazon, who currently sell the 808 for 509EUR. Here’s the press release: Ratingen, 21. Juni 2012 – Mit dem heutigen Tag beginnt auch hierzulande eine [...]
No this isn’t THE any Symbian user was looking for (Belle FP2) but rather a minor update for the 808 bringing some bug fixes and that sort of stuff: According to AAS, it’s mostly bug fixes but screen rotation is now smoother, there’s also now a scroll bar in Contacts and ‘full’ resolution photos now weight [...]
Piet Mondrian (Pieter Cornelis “Piet” Mondriaan) is an artist famous for his abstract art of simple blocks of colours separated with clean cut lines. http://www.theartstory.org/artist-mondrian-piet.htm What does it resemble? The colourful refreshed start screen for Windows Phone 8. It’s more organised, more dynamic, more customisable, better structured and more functional for the user. It’s a good direction to [...]
SlashGear reports that before the unofficial Meltemi was axed, it was apparently almost ready. We sure love ‘almost ready’ OSes at Nokia. I think pretty much every phone we’ve had has an ‘almost ready’ OS. What is ‘almost’? http://www.slashgear.com/nokia-meltemi-survivors-suggest-axed-os-was-nearly-ready-21235076/ BTW, you may have discussed this topic before so let me remind you of your previous [...]
Here are some videos from the Windows Phone 8 sneak peek for developers yesterday, with a little focus on Kevin Shield’s bit. The 2 hour presentation can be watched at this link: http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Windows-Phone/Summit There’s a 9 minute interview with Myriam and Kevin at Engadget: http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/20/the-engadget-interview-nokias-kevin-shields-talks-windows-phon/ And here’s the video of the Kevin Shields [...]
Here is Nokia’s video to Michael’s earlier post today about the new Camera Extras app for Lumia. http://mynokiablog.com/2012/06/21/new-nokia-apps-announced-release-dates/ You get that cool rewind feature that rewinds someone’s facial expression whilst keeping others intact, sweeping panorama, burst mode and self timer. Really self timer should already be there, but the WP main camera app sucks to [...]
Last night Jay & Michael did an excellent job of updating all the posts as they were announced from the WP8 summit (while I took a nap and woke up halfway through the summit), we saw some really interesting things some slight let downs and have gotten our first look at the new home screen; so here’s [...]
The final post from that same Nokia Conversations article, is to do with Zynga bringing some of their games to the WP platform. Something that has annoyed me is people thinking your phone is inferior because you can’t Words With Friends, or Draw Something with them. Well, that may soon change, as Words With Friends, [...]
Along with Nokia Conversations posting about new apps coming, they have also posted news regarding an update coming. This is more than likely Tango,as the update comes with “tethering, media streaming from your device, and Flip-To-Silence”. We have seen confirmation that the update is floating around, being tested and approved recently by Vodafone Australia. The [...]
I’ll split up the Nokia Conversations post as there are a few key things from the article. We have been waiting for a long time to see that great new camera app come to our Lumia devices. Finally, we have some more info, a release date. Over at NokConv, they have announced that the improved [...]
Nokia USA have tweeted stating that the Nokia Lumia 900 will be receiving the WP 7.8 update in the coming weeks. All that I know is that this update will bring the new WP8 homescreen we saw earlier. However, Nokia USA tweeted again saying the update will bring all the features that are not hardware [...]
This may not mean anything at all, but on Navifirm, UK/Euro variants for the Nokia 808 PureView have been spotted. That’s black, red and white 808 PureViews. Cheers Al Reynolds for the tip
