Microsoft to add much needed corporate features with update(s)

| July 10, 2013 | 11 Replies

Advertisements     It isn’t uncommon knowledge that Windows Phone is lacking some much needed features either for consumers or the corporate customers. The latter group appears to be on Microsoft’s radar as they are preparing a business upgrade to the Windows Phone operating system. The update contains things like: S/MIME support for mail encryption […]

Most of you probably already know Shazam and Soundhound, two must have apps (or get just one, that’s sufficient as well) for recognizing that great tune on the TV, in an online ad or in that great GoPro video you just saw. Now there is another great addition to music recognizing apps; Bing Audio. Microsoft’s […]

Quick and dirty camera comparison Lumia 920 and Lumia 925

Quick and dirty camera comparison Lumia 920 and Lumia 925

| July 1, 2013 | 21 Replies

This far from scientific and probably even further from a proper camera comparison, but this is one thing I was personally very interested in. How does the Lumia 925 camera compare to the 920? Unfortunately I don’t have a Lumia 925 on hand, but luckily my fellow writers Ali, Michael and blog owner Jay do […]

Blackberry quarterly results don’t appear to be a big threat to Nokia

Blackberry quarterly results don’t appear to be a big threat to Nokia

| June 28, 2013 | 142 Replies

Today Blackberry announced its quarterly results for the first quarter of the 2014 fiscal year. Normally I’m not that interested in what the competition does in terms of devices shipped, I care far more about the experience they deliver in both the hardware they sell and after sales. Hence I chose Nokia. This time it […]

There is this recurring theme in the world of mobile phones, we live from leak to announcement to review. After that last step there is usually not much more, it almost seems like the life of a certain device ends after it got reviewed and there is nothing left but to look forward to the […]

What’s the logic behind Nokia’s launch schedule? (Rant)

Just a few days ago we saw the sales launch of the Lumia 925 in Germany. There isn’t much more to say about the 925 other than that it is an improved version of the 920. A good one in my eyes, after all it addresses quite a few ‘problems’ some smartphone buyers might have […]

Wireless charging, already phased out or reinvented?

| May 14, 2013 | 46 Replies

Wireless charging, it was pretty much the best thing since sliced bread when it was introduced in the Lumia 820 and 920 late last year. Since then things seem to have changed a bit, wireless charging is still pretty well represented in Nokia products and accessories, yet it seems phones aren’t coming with it built […]

Mango, Tango, Apollo, Portico and now even GDR. You would be forgiven if you lost track of all these code names that are circling around the web. Most of you will probably know that the above names are referring to milestone builds of Windows Phone, but what is that new GDR term mean? And what […]

That not all interesting and great news comes from sunny Spain is proven by Twitter as they pushed out a major overhaul of their app for Windows Phone 8 today. It totally transforms the app and brings it closer to something far more native to Windows Phone than ever before. Installing the update went fast […]
