Lumia 950 XL for $299 and 950 for $249 at Microsoft Store

Advertisements If you were looking to get the 950 XL, there’s a price ‘drop’ at the Microsoft store where you can grab the 950 XL for ‘just’ $299. The 950 for $249. For those that are die-hard Windows fans, this might be worth considering as the hardware there is quite decent. I’d find it difficult […]

Cortana was one of the nicer things about Windows Phone. As a digital voice assistant, it seemed more human than either Siri or Google Now.

Here’s a teaser video for the Nokia C1 Concept device. Made by user, ‘Concept Creator’, they’ve got quite a few impressive fan made concepts that look pretty good considering, like their S8 concept.

Android Nougat 7.1 on Nokia Lumia 520?

Android Nougat 7.1 on Nokia Lumia 520?

| December 14, 2016 | 2 Replies

In the video below, supposedly it’s a Nokia Lumia 520 which somehow has Android Nougat 7.1. Whether it’s real or not, and whether it can be replicated by other users is one thing. It looks good.  The only thing that annoys me is this persistence recently on a ridiculously wasteful ‘card’ system of multitasking when […]

1 month standby time for HMD | Nokia’s first handset, Nokia 150

| December 13, 2016 | 9 Replies

The first Nokia phone from HMD is a mobile phone called the Nokia 150. It’s the first being launched not via MS (Nokia 216 launched in September). Nothing spectacular worth noting specs wise.  The battery is as you’d expect from a Nokia candybar, over a month. This is part of the original Nokia and HMD […]

Video: Full Windows on ARM

| December 9, 2016 | 1 Reply

As you may have heard, Full Windows can now run on ARM. Not the crippled RT version that Nokia had to play with when they attempted a Windows ARM tablet. It’s a full Windows that supports those legacy Windows apps. This could mean a bigger breakthrough for the use of something like Windows Continuum. Where […]
