My Dream Nokia #56: Nokia 8 WP8 Concept

My Dream Nokia #56: Nokia 8 WP8 Concept

| August 3, 2012 | 16 Replies

Here’s MDN #56 is a very sharp, rectangular slab of straight lines. I think the designer of this phone concept, Tobiaz Pankraz, said, “Big, thin, elegant”.  Being thin certainly helps when you have a large screened device.

Goodbye Metro, Hello…?

Goodbye Metro, Hello…?

  It would probably be fairer to have FP1 (with 808’s beefier hardware) vs ICS but this is what’s shared right now, Belle on the N8 vs ICS on Xperia Arc S. I was surprised to see gallery loading faster on the N8 even though the person in the video pressed the Arc first. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9e8_G3J3xKo&feature=player_embedded […]

So last month I got Ali to post about getting an interview with Jolla, and asked you, the readers, if there were things you wanted to know. Well now we have the answers, and reading through them, I am bloody excited about what may come out of the ex-Nokia staff start-up. Their answers remind me […]
