Whatsapp private beta update for WP shows individual individual backgrounds for different contacts

Whatsapp private beta update for WP shows individual individual backgrounds for different contacts

| March 13, 2014 | 5 Replies

Advertisements WPC reports that the next update of WhatsApp will also include individual backgrounds for different contacts. That’d be nice as it makes that chat experience with that person even more ‘personal’. Other features include custom tone sounds, custom backgrounds, privacy controls (so users can’t randomly add you or to stop folks being able to […]

CNET finds Facebook Messaging app for WP “Nearly Flawless”

| March 13, 2014 | 4 Replies

I’ve only recently started using the newly released Facebook Messenger App. I didn’t think I’d need it what with the Facebook app and then the integrated facebook experience. But it does have some welcome added features. CNet got some play time too (thorough 2 page review for an app!) and finds the design to be […]

Using the Nokia Contacts Transfer app, you can easily fetch over your contacts from other devices to the Nokia X. I wonder, if the Nokia X is meant to be a feeder system for Lumia/WP whether it will  then choose to store those contacts over a Microsoft account, therefore simplifying contact sync should the user […]

Accessories: Throwback Thursday – Nokia DT-22 Camera Grip for N93 on Nokia Lumia 1520 and other phones

Quick heads up on the Nokia DT-22 camera grip that was originally for the N93. As you can see, we’re using it on the Nokia Lumia 1520 but you could just as easily use it for the 925, 1020, and any other camera phones as you’re not placing it to fit the width of the […]

Seen in the video below is Microsoft’s attempt at updating their camera application. Named Microsoft Camera, it takes some influences from Nokia Camera but still appears clunky what with so many settings buried in menus. However…it does give you the option to select what additional settings go in the viewfinder. Note that there are some […]

Another unboxing of the Nokia X, this time a retail unit from India. As pointed out in the last unboxing by you guys, it appears that the entry level units just come with red earphones regardless of the colour. The tab here, instead of the lumia textile colour indicator is card. Some mentioned a hologram […]

Video: Nokia Treasure Tag Promo, compatible with Nokia Lumia, Android and iOS

Here’s a promo for Nokia’s Treasure Tag accessory. From the feedback we’ve read from your comments it seems that you want these to be made smaller and cheaper. Size-wize, they’re not too cumbersome. Perhaps for strength/battery/other required internals, there may be some room for improvement. Price wise, I guess if it were closer to around […]

  Got woken up an hour earlier than I expected by someone else’s alarm so I thought I’d do something productive and record a video of a really useful tip in action that I read from Reddit user soul_justice. One of my favourite shortcuts when browsing a desktop browser is to search a highlighted term. […]
