Rumour: Microsoft making their own Windows Phone?

| October 2, 2012 | 101 Replies

    This has been rumoured plenty of times but it’s picking up steam again. It is believed by some sources that Microsoft might just give Nokia a stab in the back by releasing their own phone. Congrats. What a sure way of making sure Windows Phone dies a slow death. It was bad enough […]

      There were some initial stories that the pre-order price would be around 470GBP for the Nokia Lumia 920.  http://mynokiablog.com/2012/09/27/lumia-820920-confirmed-for-australia-pricing-and-release-date-comes-to-italy/ I hope ThreeUK will get it. They’re really quite good with mobile data and seem to offer better subsidies. A Swedish retailer (with a picture of the 900 instead :/) says it’s going […]

Sometimes, the clips seem so good, it’s unbelievable – even though I know I’ve seen absolutely stunning videos before, it just stuns me sometimes when I realise how far we’ve come in mobile.

  I received a screenshot yesterday saying FP2 was available for Nokia 808 PureView, but the screenshot showed only a calendar/social update (Cheers adib!). Also, for some reason, I thought FP2 was already available but it turns out to be Navifirm early release. Marc tweeted this morning that the 808 has a firmware update, v113.010.1506 http://pureviewclub.com/2012/6548 […]
