Nokia World 2012 event starting! nokia.com/webcast (LiveBlog)
Nokia.com/webcast. You can see the time stamp on the image name. Oldest post at the top.
Currently flickering on and off. It says SwitchtoLumia
There’s faint images behind this green thing.
Well stream on my mac died. Elop on stage. I can’t hear anything.
Ah seems to have stabilised now. Blogging and screenshots from my PC. Urgh. Why mac. why.
Elop talking about innovation in Asha.
Elop says Nokia deliberately does not speak a lot about future disruptions.
Nokia design, Nokia Photography, Nokia Location. In location, we are unmatched.
Excited to share next important step in our smart devices. Jo Harlow on stage.
omg. Really cool intro.
Nokia Lumia 920 with PureView and PureMotion.
Better pictures than any competitor smartphone. Even 808?
No specs mentioned. Just talking about taking low light picture. Talking about blurry pictures from minute hand movements in longer shutter times. PureView captures between 5-10 times the amount of light of ANY competitor smartphone camera.
FLOATING LENS TECHNOLOGY SURPASSES STABILISATION OF MOST SLRS!
Real deal offline maps that work whether you’re offline or not. Not just caching.
Nokia City lens -___-
Automatic augmented reality maps for Nokia maps.
Best viewing experience of any smartphone display. PureMotion HD+ Better than HD display. Clarity so incredible it pops out of the screen!
Screen so immerser you never want to put it down
2000mAh battery. Largest in a Nokia phone. Enough to get almost anyone through an average day. But average is not enough.
Qualcom S4 processor and WP8 combine to give the fastest and most responsive smartphone user experience. 30% more efficient than quadcore alternatives. What else can be done? Look at it from a different angle. Nokia Lumia 920 comes with built in wireless charging.
Fatboy recharge pillow.
Wireless charging with Virgin Atlantic and Cofee Bean & Tea Leaf.
Belfiore demoes WP8
PLEASE. Let’s rewind a bit and talk about floating lens again. Here we are again, like with PureView, NOT talking about something groundbreaking. Well done Nokia.
Screenshot feature demoed. Coincidentally stream on mac working so I can screenshot back here.
Camera demoed. With pinch zoom. Has lenses button to engage other software.
I’m sorry, but no. Your camera UI still sucks.
Pictures in gallery automatically tagged with the app/lens that took it.
Blink camera – where it takes multiple pictures, one is saved. But that one saved picture can still be engaged to bring up the other pics. Not sure how.
Kevin Shields on screen
Proudly stands above the crowd in design. Return of the 2.5D curve display. Terrific antenna performance from polycarbonate.
Spectacular yellow, lipstick red and seductive grey. Something different from uninspiring monochromatic glass.
Ceramic side keys. Oh I love how Kevin talks about this phone. Much better than the first iteration.
Super proud. Fastest LCD display on a smartphone. WXGA. High refresh rate.
Super sensitive touch.
WORKS WITH GLOVES!
Wireless charging demo. I didn’t like how he was unsure of whether it would work. Unless he was joking cos he just said it just works.
JBL Powerup. Integrated wireless charging with NFC.
Oh dear. I’m cringing at the city lens demo. Almost as cringy as the JBL NFC demo. I completely understand it happening as NFC has to be precisely touched. Not simply placing on top..
Smartgroup seems to be smartshoot but a bit better.
wow. Cinemagraph is pretty cool.
PureView time! Yay 
Largest aperture for 16:9 at F2.0. Can keep shutter for longer but stabilise with floating lens!
59% more effective than high end DSLRs. Seriously guys, one of the things I love most about my DSLR is the stabilisation. If I use a lens without stabilisation, I get bad images/video.
I am seriously impressed by this implementation of PureView. Imagine having this aspect of stabilisation AND oversampling. Camera overkill. Hahaha.
Kevin has just announced the Nokia Lumia 820. One cover is for wireless charging.
Exchangeable covers.
Elop back on stage. On stage with Ballmer.
Windows Phone, Windows 8
Ballmer thanks Elop and Nokia for the phenomenal work on the Nokia Lumia 920.
Rest of WP8 to be seen later. Later?
Closing statement.
Live stream done.
I thought it was over but something spontaneously appeared on my window.
Updating this post.

agree, the camera UI still sucks… where are those settings?
The Camera UI on 808 is much more reasonable and efficient for a photographer / user
Nice Skydrive integration of images accross to W8
ceramic keys! nice!
higher than 720p reso?? did i hear correctly???
wxga, 1280×768. me thinks…
confirmed
Nice!
wow, even Michel Jackson could have operated the phone!!
great idea to have charging built into the JBL speaker
Dual core, is the sweet spot… Quad cores, mwaa hahaha doh? Hey lets create software that relies heavily on inefficient operations so that it justifies stuffing in more cores just for it to then run as smoothly as my Windows 7.5 does with a single CPU…
Having said that, got an old Iphone 3gs that still runs butter smooth, on latest update…
Guess that kinda proves my theory really.
It takes a certain crowd to get sucked into the arms race like it really matters… So in the end I guess, maybe it’s for the best after all!
NOKIA – You have found near perfection in industrial design, I think the original N9 design team should all get knighted…. Who cares if they’re not British…
They are design royalty IMO!
Sooorry…
Got a little excited
Read everything you type. Too excited here too… way passed my bed time here in Asia zzzz but I caaan’t sleeepppp
wow, those photoapps are pretty sweet looking to me
and coming to my L900 too, yey! lol
haha, love the iPhone comparison pics!
Well, maybe there is not much clap about.
I dont know if I have ever seen worse presentation that was given by Kevin Shields.
I lost hope for nokia so long MNB. I will support Jolla from now on.
‘I dont know if I have ever seen worse presentation that was given by Kevin Shields’ – most probably not…
At the end of his ‘presentation’, ‘Steve come and save me!’ – that was a, that was a – I can’t find words…
The redundancy of the content of different presentation – have they meet each other beforehand?
This is the moment of ‘words don’t come easy’… :-9
I agree a 1000%. For such a critical presentation for all parties there is no excuse for poor organization – illustrated by duplicate content, the lack of practice in Kevin’s demos, and his lack of poise. If Nokia is nervous about their own product, how is the rest of the world that still has not yet warmed to these great products supposed to react?
Oh Nokia.. Iam over excited Launch the phone soon..
come on aholes, its ok to clap even in a Nokia event!!!
I need to see picture samples!
Did they not mention rich recording? Or did I miss it?
they did not…
I think this event is an epic fail for Nokia. The content, the presenters – OMG…
Look at the share price – it tells everything.
Ouch.
The only thing that I didn’t want to see… Ballmer… Now I am disgusted! Thanks for ruining the show!
What show, man?! It was like a funeral – the predenters. Better not comment it…
Lost me when Belfiore came on.
Nice camera.
The real question is will One X, GIII or iPhone users switch to the L920.
Investors do not think so. Share price down 13%.
This could be a very short comeback.
no tablets or phablets
when are these new lumias available ?
watching the stock now… seems to be climbing back up… hopefully it turns out good.
oops presed the wrong reply button… argh better go to sleep.
I find WP 7.5 with better processor = WP8 – . – where the hell is the innovation of new software ?
Heheh, L920 – “the most innovative smartphone ever” – awarded this title for what? For resizeable live tiles?
Maybe the camera is good – but c’mon! Pureview and 8,7Mpixel?
They successfully built up a new brand (PureView) and eroded it at the very first moment they can!?
What a disappointment…
I’m more disappointed I didn’t hear “rich recording” from them. It would make a great video capture phone if they have that…
Come on Nokia, that’s all?? 2 new phones? Both that boring?
I was hoping for a real update for my N8.. but now?? Cant stand the comparison.
show is over??any told me pls whether show is over or begin after some interval
Pics samples… Comparisons agains the 808… For what I red in the pics department the 808 wins easily, onto the video the new Lumias has the avantage… But still, comparisons, comparisons!!!!!!
