We mentioned before that Mugen was going to make a battery extension jacket for the Nokia Lumia 920. Well it appears Brando’s doing the same too, and actually has a product ready. The case with the Nokia Lumia 920 doesn’t look that bad actually. I was expecting some hideous monstrosity but as some readers [...]
James Burland tweeted the above picture of the Emirates Airline Private Suite. What a sweet way to travel (pun intended…oh dear…) The first thing I noticed however was the device next to the coffee. What does it look like to you? I thought it had an uncanny resemblance to the Nokia 6600, albeit, now hulk-like/morbidly [...]
As Ali just posted, Portico is being rolled out to users in UK, Germany and Italy. I just assumed I didn’t have it yet as I was accustomed to a notification message telling me to update. I didn’t get that at all. After Ali messaged me about the update, I checked Settings>Phone update [...]

I’ll be honest I don’t know much about graphene, in fact the first time I heard of it was on this blog last year when people were suggesting what new innovations could come with the N8′s successor, where the word “graphene sensor” was thrown around a lot. Well it seems Nokia have been working with graphene in [...]

One of the cooler accessories announced alongside the Lumia 920 and 820 (in fact slightly before them at IFA) is the refreshed line of Nokia Purity Headsets.
