But that’s what they did with their SWIPE like Word Flow keyboard. 15 year old Guarav Sharma uses the WP8.1 keyboard and breaks the World Record, typing 25 words in […]

According to the video below, the Nokia Lumia 930 can record in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound! Can the 1520 get it too? The settings […]

Woah, woah, woah, hold on there. WP9/8.2? We’ve only just made WP8.1 official. But since it is official, this means, well – we need a new thing to have rumours and snippets about. To be fair, it was already under way by the time WP8.1 was in people’s ears. This news comes by way of […]

First up, the above video says this is just an emulator hence why the lag is there. BUT, WP8.1 now has a simple slide forward/backward gesture when moving within internet explorer. I think maemo5’s browsers had this? Or some other easy way of moving back and forth in a browser outside of the button (who […]

  Here are a couple of hands on videos of the newly launched Nokia MD-12 NFC bluetooth speaker. It’s a lot smaller than I expected from the features. So small in fact that Jessica describes it as a hockey puck. 39EUR, available in Yellow, Orange, White and Green, matching the colour options for the 930. […]

I thought there was something up with Ali’s image, thinking this was a squashed or stretched Nokia JBL Play-up speaker but no, it’s the all new Nokia MD-12. To win one, leave a ‘creative comment’ at NokConv. http://conversations.nokia.com/2014/04/03/nokia-md-12-wireless-speaker/ NokConv says that although it is small, it packs a lot of bass.
