  Seems like someone has been listening to Jays Rants about the lack of Nokia Advertising, sure it’s not on a huge scale but taken on “other opponents” claims is a nice step forward. Nokia Conversations just published this pretty infographic (see above) that details the distribution of the 4605 indoor venues that are currently available on nokia [...]

It’s been nearly 17 months now using Windows Phone and the Marketplace. Whilst I’ve been more than satisfied with the quality and quantity of apps coming to the platform, what annoys me sometimes is the ridiculously awful app search in marketplace.

  If there’s one thing Nokia is supreme at is that it sucks at advertising anything that it is good at. You’ll never really know half the amazing stuff a Nokia is capable of unless you’re in a Nokia blogosphere related bubble. Outside of it, Nokia’s assets fizzle away because why? Nokia won’t advertise it. [...]

IntoMobile says this is a press release from Jolla indicating that Jolla has signed an agreement with D. Phone, the largest smartphone retail chain in China. BTW, does Jolla actually have a website?
