My SGS6 can barely last half a working day sometimes (random updates here and there either kill it or make it last about a day). Poor battery life is just something we’re accepting. Reddit’s reminiscing about the good old days when […]

My Dream Nokia: Nokia Hayden Edge Concept

Edge screen phones. Samsung made them popular but Nokia has in the past toyed with the idea with their own concepts such as Nokia GEM. They might have lost the initial practicality of having an edge bit actually perform something and are instead, more of a design statement. But I love those flowing curves, ever […]

A facebook group was set up so that Nokians could stay in touch, in anticipation for the results of further ‘restructuring’. The closed group initially had around 900 members in the first 5 […]
