PhoneArena puts Nokia Lumia 920 as the hottest smartphone of the year, Ahead of Galaxy S4, HTC One, Xperia Z, and iPhone 5

Advertisements Seems phonearena fixed their poll that showed the Nokia Lumia 920 obscenely ahead of the competition with over half a million votes, pushing it to about 97%. That didn’t matter though as it appears they’ve had to accept that the top votes still go to the Nokia Lumia 920, (as you can see by […]

  Since most people probably can’t come to a Nokia Store or Lumia experience booth, let it come to you in this decked out double decker Lumia bus. At least if you’re in the UK. It’s a pretty swanky and swish set up inside. It reminds me of the little London office with Lumia stuff […]

Microsoft uses Nokia Lumia 920’s OIS PureView Low Light to show off Windows Phone

Remember those smoked by WP videos? Well something akin to that are the new TV ads from MS in their Windows Phone challenge. Oddly though, this isn’t a ‘Windows Phone’ feature. It’s a NOKIA feature. Good on MS for recognising how good the 920 is compared to other WPs (especially from the other competing manufacturers). […]

Cyan Nokia Lumia 920 available to Telstra (Australia)

Cyan Nokia Lumia 920 available to Telstra (Australia)

Early this morning, Justin tipped us on the Nokia Lumia 920 being available to Telstra Australia in the classic Nokia Cyan, something that was previously an exclusive to AT&T. I couldn’t find the story on Teltra’s blog (or any other indication) but just came across a facebook link on reddit. https://www.facebook.com/9322764314/timeline/story?ut=69&hash=-5785698908216331741&wstart=0&wend=1364799599&ustart&refid=17 What is your favourite […]

@WindowsPhone gently reminds all that WP8 is upgradable now it’s on the Windows Core

  Upgradable to what? 🙂 Although we’ve been skeptical ourselves of recent MS activity, @WindowsPhone wants to remind those doubtful (and rightly so) that WP8 is definitely indeed upgradeable. Not simply small updates but major changes. Whilst support may end for a particular ‘version’ of WP8 (8.0) when it updates, (8.1, 8.5, 9.0, blue) that […]

Tip: Using Kids Corner to Get Awesome Panoramic Lock Screens on WP8

We mentioned this before, but those of us without kids might think Kids Corner would be pretty useless, however as we previously mentioned there are some pretty cool uses you can make of it, rather than just a place for your kids to mess around. http://mynokiablog.com/2013/01/29/alternate-uses-for-kids-corner-on-windows-phone-8/ Well here’s another cool idea coming from reddit, the […]

Joe Belfiore Teases New Apps Coming This Week; First to be Announced Tomorrow

Not everyone like Joe Belfiore, but you can’t deny he does know how to keep an audience engaged (sure he seems a *bit* too over the moon about taking screenshots on your phone, but he seems pretty cool). In his latest tease torture he says: https://twitter.com/joebelfiore/status/313895102651183104 Been wondering about some of the apps I’ve been […]
