WOAH! Nokia Teases Pure View? (possible N8 successor footage?)
Getting straight to the point, Nokia just released this video that teases their ‘Pure View; Pure Detail” the video ends with “Feb 27th” which is the date of Nokias MWC Keynote speech; something tells me this is going to be LEGENDARY Note: the video is in 1080p I get the feeling that this is actual footage shot on the 808 [...]

Newspaper Scanning Coming to Bing Search Soon
Bing search on WP already has a lot more functionality than you’d expect, currently being able to search by voice, scan music, find locations, read QR tag, scan book covers and translate text; However soon it will also support the ability to scan newspaper text and directly link you to that article online (for over 30,000 publications)- which sounds pretty cool.

Nokia Store Updated to 3.22.054
All you have to do is start up your Nokia store (I think on Belle only); and you;ll get a prompt to update to the latest version (with an option to continue using as well- which is a first ever I think?). This update brings the store version to 3.22.054 and if I’m correct the [...]

Save the roundy is another one of those ever so popular physics based games where you clear level after level of difficult puzzles, this one is based on the concept of getting all the roundies (roundii?) down to the metal platform without tipping them off the edge and falling into the dark abyss.

Is This the Lumia 610 (low end WP)??
Not much to go on here, but Nok4Us.com seems to have received the following images in an email; claiming that this is the low end LTE/4G WP device we where told to expect at MWC? From the images it’s obviously a C7 styled device running WP; with colorful backs (like the 710)- the concept of it being C7 shaped [...]

Shoot-out: Sony Xperia S vs. N8-00
Just going to put this out there first thing; ironic how we’re weeks away from the release of the highly rumored N8 successor yet other phone manufacturers are still competing to catch up with the N8; word of advice, don’t bother you’ll always lose when it comes to cameras. So anyways dialaphone.co.uk have pitted the [...]

RM-833 Passes FCC check
Not much to add besides that it was sent into the FCC for testing on Jan 11th (directly after CES?); my hunch is that this is the Lumia 900 which would line up nicely with the March release date onto At&t phone lines; or it’s something we might see at MWC in two weeks, once [...]
Did the Motorola Droid 4 Rip-off the N950s look?
Since we’re living in a time where most companies rely on blocking other competitors sales rather than selling their own (no need to point anyone out) I find it funny that Motorolas latest phones (which could be considered Googles latest phone) almost completely rips off the N950s look; but with a flat hinge rather than an angled one. [...]

“Flo Ridas- Wild Ones” feat. Lumia 710
Sometimes I forget how much product placement goes into music videos, then I watch a music video and it all goes away; honestly some music videos have RIDICULOUS amounts of PP, thankfully Nokias role in this one is a bit less pushy. In “Flo Ridas” (never heard of him before) latest Music vid he calls all his followers to the beach [...]
