Windows Phone 8 Lumias Launching Soon in Jordan (Rest of Middle East Too?)

Windows Phone 8 Lumias Launching Soon in Jordan (Rest of Middle East Too?)

| January 14, 2013 | 10 Replies

Advertisements Nokia Jordan just posted this picture on their Facebook page accompanied with the caption “they’ll be here soon”….are you ready?”. Assuming the shoelaces represent the amazing everyday Lumias (at least the color scheme does); then they should be talking about the 920, 820 (and hopefully the 620). This is a big step for Nokia seeing how the […]

Video: UI-Concept – Harmattan meets Sailfish

Video: UI-Concept – Harmattan meets Sailfish

Stephen emailed me his UI concept, which blends elements of Harmattan and Sailfish. It looks nice, and makes me want to see more. The more I see Sailfish related things, the more I want to test it out. Hopefully with the SDK launching this quarter, we will see Sailfish ported to N9/50. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4M-J2zODHc&feature=youtu.be What do […]

There’s some variations on tactile feedback (as seen in several of Nokia’s touch screens) […]

Instead of having a nice long sleep prior to exam, the 808 decided to wake me up with its low battery chime (I’m a light sleeper on exam days). But what nicer thing to wake up to than a nice new concept Nokia that makes me reminisce about some older ones. This one takes us […]

  I got included in a tweet convo where these pictures and videos were noted in the original thread. It’s the Nokia N950 prototype with pre-Swipe UI, just MeeGo-Harmattan I think. It’s what we were shown in the early days of MeeGo. http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=88577&page=8

  The Fabula design – it’s simple, yet so wonderfully beautiful. We’ve seen several concepts follow the Fabula theme, and even though they don’t deviate far, it’s enough to look fresh and exciting. This one is particularly delicious. No other details apart from a 4.3″ screen. The hardware buttons are said to be pressure sensitive […]
