One step at a time eh? One of the goals for WP for both Nokia and MS was that it should be a legitimate third option against the duopoly of Android and iOS. TheVerge reports than in terms of smartphone shipments, BlackBerry has been overtaken by WP. Something that some said would never happen. It’s [...]
Google doesn’t want to make a YouTube app for Windows Phone, nor has it allowed access to the necessary APIs for MS to make a complying youtube app. So they went and made their own which Google isn’t happy about because it circumvents ad placement. Google is all about ads – it functions to [...]

Just delving through some of the pictures that we quickly snapped on Tuesday of the new Nokia Lumia 925. You might want to check out NokConv’s post about the screen on the 925 which explains what’s so special about it. http://conversations.nokia.com/2013/05/15/why-the-nokia-lumia-925-is-a-screen-idol/ New laminated AMOLED Saturated, vivid, deep blacks 600 Nit brightness – brighter than any [...]
Here’s a promo for the Nokia Lumia 928 from Nokia US. I’m amazed that there’s no mention of Xenon flash or even a demo of how that works vs LED. Follow a group of friends as they take a road trip for the ages from Santa Monica to the Nokia Theater in downtown LA. [...]
On Tuesday’s announcement, amongst the myriad of things about the Nokia Lumia 925, Nokia also talked about the Nokia Lumia 928. At one point we were greeted to a video recording of Ed Sheeran, filmed on the Nokia Lumia 928 to show off the HAAC microphones developed for Nokia (eh hadtocopyasta?). Ed Sheeran encourages the [...]
The latest high end devices from Samsung, Nokia and HTC are compared by the folks at PocketNow during the 925′s launch in London. It’s nice to see things evening out in terms of the high end Lumias being slimmer, lighter and funnily enough levelling out too in terms of ‘apps’ and we hear it’s now [...]
I saw this post earlier on in the morning whereby Gizmodo really liked the new Nokia Lumia 925, saying it’s the Windows Phone You’ll want. http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2013/05/nokia-lumia-925-hands-on-this-is-the-windows-phone-youll-want/ NokConv have collected some more impressions. http://conversations.nokia.com/2013/05/14/what-the-worlds-saying-about-the-nokia-lumia-925-2/ TheVerge calls the 925 ‘Stunning’. They say it’s the best Lumia yet, but doesn’t feel it’s quite enough. Why? Everyone seems [...]
These are one of the apps that you just never thought would make an appearance on Windows Phone due to us waiting for it for so long, but now it’s finally here. No not the blahblahgram (we’ve got alternatives now anyway), but BBC iPlayer. This first version allows you to watch and listen to TV [...]
Phew, I’m just about to head off to clinic but I’ve got a minute or two to share this video. Since you’ve seen a few hands on before we’ll focus more towards what’s seen on the end of the video which is a short demo of how holding the phone whichever way you like [...]
Whilst the Nokia Lumia 920 was praised for plentiful innovations and beautiful design, the main qualms by some were thickness and weight. The Nokia Lumia 925 addressed this by improving further on certain innovations (like camera, screen) whilst making it slimmer and lighter. Now I didn’t mind the 920′s weight but others obviously did. The [...]
Nokia had a special room to compare the improved low light performance of the Nokia Lumia 925 against its competitors. They had a Samsung Galaxy s4 for testing (not everyone carries a competitor device, e.g. I only had the 920). Now we know the Nokia Lumia 920 was unmatched for extreme low light. Holy heck, [...]
Check Jo Harlow out – demoing smart camera live on stage in her Duke’s Basketball outfit. My DSLR missed the moment, but oddly Nokia Smart camera didn’t
Oop check it out! Name badges are made of metal. We’re at the venue. I’m on a really bad connection. Darn CJ was smart enough to bring an ethernet cable (Ali told me to get one but my mac doesn’t have that port)
Quick heads up on a few updates that just got pushed to my Nokia Lumia 920. Facebook beta Skype Quick Settings Hungry Now Apologies that due to being pressed for time I can’t say specifically what has been updated (they might mention it in the developer blurbs)

We are being drip fed juicy info bit by bit today. Here’s a side view of the Nokia Lumia 925 from @evleaks. You can see the small hump against the slim side profile. Evleaks says the back view will come tomorrow :p.

Mark from TheNokiaBlog has just unboxed the Nokia Lumia 928 in pictures. Head on over to his blog to see them. There’s a big red box for this white 928. I’m on a mobile connection which compresses the images so it wasn’t quite clear why this 928 was so floppy at first :p
