Successor to the graphics intensive MC4, Modern Combat 5: Blackout is available in store ($6.99/£4.49). Kudos on Gameloft for getting this available on WP along with iOS and Android. http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/modern-combat-5-blackout/21ed995b-239d-4ffe-b352-76fc11cd940c?signin=true   Supposedly ‘only’ 776 MB. The WP store says around that too (777 MB). I thought it would be larger. We’re having final assessments today […]

Adam Giles demoes the new Nokia Lumia 530, 4″ Polycarbonate, quad core and fixed focus camera

Is this the first fixed focus Lumia from Nokia? Feels like edof again without the benefits. But hey, it’s an entry level handset. Though having said that, the 520 has AF (well the 620 has a flash, camera button and front camera which 630 misses out on). The experience should be nice and smooth since […]

We’ve seen screenshots before. I don’t know if this is an actual preview of things to come or spamware apps. It’s quite dynamic, very animated. WPC says this is the new lockscreen app using the new APIs. Others say it’s a layer on top of the lockscreen. Not sure. Either way, the point is, with the […]

More very realistic renders by PhoneDesigner, featuring the Nokia Lumia 330. It has a small 3″ screen fit for the Asha days. It looks like a little classic Nokia brick with a touch screen. I like the call UI at the top. Making the now ‘tiny’ iPhone 5S look huge. 540×240 pixels… The main issue […]
