Sam is back with round two (or is it three?) of his Lumia 920 vs HTC 8X comparison, this time he’s taking a look at the camera s of both devices; except that not from the usual sense of high quality photos; but instead what the average user sees/gets. Of course the 920 destroys the 8X but [...]

Any of the Symbian users here are surely familiar with CameraPro, an app that gave the user extended controls over the camera settings in terms of increased zoom, ISO, camera modes, Autofocus etc. (very useful for N8). Well the app has now hit the Windows Phone marketplace (WP8 only :/ ). The included features are: Fast access [...]

Speaking of QWERTY smartphones, let’s take a look back at this slider QWERTY, the Nokia E7. It’s on Amazon for just $199 – not bad after over 2 years from being announced (£123 GBP) though I’d probably be greedy and want it for even lower. http://www.amazon.com/Nokia-Unlocked-Touchscreen-Navigation-Camera–U-S.

Edgar Mkrtchyan’s newest concept is the Nokia Lumia 888 E, a portrait QWERTY powered Windows Phone 8 Nokia. The last high end QWERTY smartphones were the Eseries devices, and so it’s quite fitting it has an E to its name. The 888 moniker fits with the aim of the design to be shaped like an 8. [...]

HTC Uses the JBL PowerUp Speakers To Promote Wireless Charging on Droid DNA; Nokia Logo Missing

Nokia obviously didn’t invent Wireless charging, but in a sense they re-invented it by re-introoducing it to the masses and going all in with it, bring out multiple accessories, docks, plates and even having wireless charging spots installed in coffee shops and lobbies across the globe. And it would seem this time they figured out exactly what the next [...]

Our buddy SamJPullen is doing a series of comparisons between the beloved 920 and the HTC 8X. So here’re a couple awesome videos showing off the boot speeds, app launching; then a second video comparing design and screens.

The luck guys/gals at engadget have gotten a chance to play with Sailfish OS/Jolla mobile on the N950. Take a look at the UI all over again with the hidden menus, gestures and built in apps. (DAMN!!

Ok, I don’t even know where to start; since this “review” by Forbes is beyond ridiculous; I mean I’ve heard of Bias and fanboyism, but to this extent? Every single sentence of this review is a joke; and unfortunately somehow a site with reviews as poorly done as this still has a massive following. This [...]

From Nokia Russia is an interesting video showing how quickly a coffee bar gets transformed to be QI wireless charging (Nokia Lumia 920/820 etc) friendly. Like the video we saw yesterday, this just blends into the furniture. No plugging in, just resting your phone. In this instance, instead of being on the table, there’s a little [...]

The folks at Nokia put together a little comparison, pitting the Lumia 920 vs. the WP HTC 8X and the Samsung Galaxy S3;  then had Billy Duffy from the Cult rock out while they recorded it. The results were pretty obvious as the 920 kills them with its HAAC Rich Recording capable of capturing up [...]
