I’m trying out Android on the Samsung Galaxy Note 4; what I’ll miss from Nokia Lumia 1520

I’m trying out Android on the Samsung Galaxy Note 4; what I’ll miss from Nokia Lumia 1520

Advertisements A couple of weeks ago we had a discussion about people’s contract renewal plans (autumn seems to be a popular time due to product cycles) and I discussed some of the reasons why I was considering Android. It isn’t a clear cut “I’m leaving Windows Phone or switching”. mynokiablog.com/2014/11/12/contract-renewal-time-are-you-sticking-with-windowsphone/ Here’s why: 1) My contract […]

The Lumia 535 is the first Lumia to have no Nokia branding. What’s it like inside?  It’s an entry level model but it certainly packs punches where the original 530 should have been in the first place in terms of RAM, LED flash and front facing camera.

GTA NOKIA HERE Maps: VideoGame designer brings immersive real 3D environments to HERE Maps

A cool article over at Nokia’s HERE 360 blogs talks about the construction of 3D maps through the eyes of a video game designer. When we talk about a 3D open world game set in real cities, the first thing that came to my mind was Grand Theft Auto. As it turns out, Michael Limberat […]

Mythbusting Nokia’s Meltemi – Part 1: N9, Elop – Android safest best

Ali, Michael and I have had the pleasure of discussing Nokia’s Meltemi plans with a once Nokia employee on the Meltemi team. They’ve shared a wealth of information with us which we’ll be publishing over a series of posts so the amount of text won’t be too overwhelming. Thank you very much again for taking […]

From low-end to high-end: Customizable Graphics Settings

  Dear MNB Readers! 512MB RAM!!! That combination of numbers and letters is usually enough to turn away the most die-hard Windows Phone supporter as that is usually the death sentence to any hope of a high quality gaming experience or even 100% app compatibility. The end result of having a 512MB device is that you […]

TIP: Slower charger makes the WP red low-battery indicator flash more slowly

TIP: Slower charger makes the WP red low-battery indicator flash more slowly

| November 24, 2014 | 4 Replies

I didn’t know this feature existed. I knew that when the phone was on, I’d get notifications that my Lumia would charge more slowly because of a slightly incompatible microsUSB charger (a non Nokia – usually the Apple/iPhone or Palm charger – yes I said Palm). By using a Nokia charger or the equivalent MicroUSB […]

Where would WindowsPhone be right now if Microsoft-Nokia and/or buyout deal didn’t happen?

There’s always a lot of talk about what would happen to Nokia if X/Y/Z did or didn’t happen. But what about the other party involved: Microsoft. What would happen to WindowsPhone if: a) The Nokia-Microsoft deal on February 11th DIDN’T happen b) if post Nokia-Microsoft deal, Nokia decided to go it alone and MS didn’t […]

  When the N1 launched, we did a quick specs comparison here. The N1 competes with the iPad Mini in terms of size, very similar design and specs (with the N1 being significantly less expensive). Below are some comparison photos of rendered images (presumably as the brief hands on at launch did not allow enough […]

Microsoft at Barcelona MWC, March 2-5, 2015 – Could we finally see a new Lumia flagship? 1020/1520 successors?

Microsoft’s got a presence at MWC 2015. Pin the dates in your diary: March 2-5, 2015. We didn’t get any Lumia flagships this year and it’s unlikely we’ll get any announcements with December looming. However, it could mean that the 1020 successor as well as the 1520 successor will be unveiled, and all with Windows […]
