We haven’t covered these new fangled Nokia names before but we thought you might as well hear about them in case you’ve missed it. These have appeared in a few benchmark apps and now on occasional gamer where a phone’s identity appears in their stats. First up: >>The Juggernaut Alpha, second time this device is [...]

This is Janne’s latest heads up, following the progress of Lumia in Finland with statcounter. Just to repeat again, statcounter is an estimate of market share through browser usage on a particular OS of all current handsets in use not just those sold in a particular time frame. As we’ve been wondering what the Windows [...]
I found this quirky app that lets you listen in to live emergency radio communications from all over the world. You choose a country, possibly a state/city and then whatever stations are available. Given the name 911, you might think it’s US only. There are so much more US based ones but as mentioned, you [...]
Ok, I’m starting to feel really bad for Microsoft right now, with the leak of the SDK people are picking up every little change that’s set to come with the new WP; there will be nothing to talk about at the launch. Anyways here’s a video by the verge demoing the SDK Emulator on a touchscreen and [...]
One of the reasons WP has been taking its sweet time to get to new markets is poor language support. Here’s a look at Arabic in Windows Phone 8. Also notice the presence of the app list but instead of coming from the right, it comes from the left (but that’s due to the right [...]

I saw this last night on twitter but dismissed it as random ramblings that got pushed through the translator the wrong way. But we keep getting tips about this so I thought it might be worth sharing, even if just for a consideration of the tiniest possibility it could happen. It makes the [...]
I remember watching some tech show that presented the potential negatives of NFC wallets as easy targets for e-thiefs. They’ll simply pass you and upon NFC contact, you’ll get charged. Ars Technica highlights this issue on Android and Nokia handsets with NFC based on 6 months of research by Charlie Miller. Regarding Nokia NFC, they [...]
It appears we missed this post when it appeared last Wednesday at WSJ. It’s an interview with Stephen Elop. Many things common knowledge though a few interesting snippets too. http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2012/07/18/nokia-ceo-reflects-on-phone-makers-challenges/ Here are some key points: Nokia a landscape of unpolished gems (too true. So many good things) Many great R&D efforts not landing into products [...]

First off I didn’t know WordPress could support Gifs in the post (this is awesome!), anyways earlier we mentioned that the WP8 SDK was leaked online, after some snooping from the more tech savvy of the internet community some information about WP8 has been acquired: New Camera capabilities/apps (PureView support??) In Windows Phone SDK 8.0 Developer [...]
It appears somebody over at Microsoft is a bit over-excited about the upcoming WP8 release as the WP8 SDK was published on Microsoft’s own site earlier today under version number is 50522.01. requiring both Windows 8 Release Preview and will also require Visual Studio 11 to run. Was this accidental or Microsoft trying to give Devs a head-start on cooking [...]

This is a video that is supposedly showing Symbian/Nokia Belle FP2. I am not sure if there are any additional third party effects going on here or if this is pure Belle FP2 stuff. I’m liking that swipey homescreen. by alsiladka Source: UnleashThePhones
I saw a draft by Ali an hour ago about a mysterious update for his Nokia Lumia 900. Mine popped up with a notification for an update too and is currently in the middle of an install. All it tells me right now is NOKIA update for Windows Phone. Not sure what else is there. [...]
So, Nokia in Brazil took the time to advertise the Nokia 808 PureView. Yay! 808 needs (more) quality, effective advertising. But this effort could be all for nothing, and even be detrimental as Nokia could be facing a R$6.5 Million fine (equivalent to just about 3.2M USD). This is because Nokia had apparently created a [...]
