More live pics of the giant Nokia Phablet, Lumia 1520

| October 8, 2013 | 35 Replies

Advertisements Here are a couple of photos of the upcoming Nokia Lumia 1520. It looks especially large next to iPhone but anything kinda does nowadays even compared to the latest let alone the 3.5 inch varieties. I’m looking forward to that extra space, physically and tiles wise. Source: WMPU Cheers Alvester for the tip. Apologies on […]

Lumiappdates: YouTube updated, becomes link to web browser version

| October 8, 2013 | 20 Replies

I haven’t updated our Lumiappdate section in a while again. There’s been some useful updates too. I’ll try to get back to making it more routine. Anyway, I was quite excited to find an update for the YouTube app. How log before Google blocks this one I thought. Upon opening it, it’s gone back to […]

Nokia Lumia 1020 wins by longshot in blind shootout against iPhone 5S, SGS4, LG G2 and HTC One (Another test adds Z1)

| October 7, 2013 | 10 Replies

  Blind tests allow people to choose which pictures look best without knowing for certain what phone (or device) shot what. In PhoneArena’s post, the Nokia Lumia 1020 came out so far ahead of the competition. http://www.phonearena.com/news/Lumia-1020-beats-the-iPhone-5s-and-Galaxy-S4-by-a-mile-in-our-blind-camera-comparison_id48050 Whilst we’re here, GSM Arena is also doing a comparison. This one includes Z1. http://blog.gsmarena.com/shootout-teaser-6-best-smartphone-cameras-go-head-to-head/ Cheers all for […]

Finnish town of “Nokia” no more. Renamed “Microsoft”?

| October 7, 2013 | 20 Replies

Not sure if this is a prank in real life or just a photoshop joke but according to tipster Joni, there was a town in Finland called “Nokia” but now is no more “signage wise”. Nokian Uutiset, the local newspaper reports below. The translation doesn’t seem to have worked too well from my end again […]

The relationship of Finland and Nokia

| October 7, 2013 | 18 Replies

  Quick heads up on a couple of interesting articles. The first one is from Ars Technica. It looks through the history of Nokia and how this impacted on Finland. http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/10/finland-and-nokia-an-affair-to-remember/ (via Reddit) The second one is in Finnish. It wouldn’t work directly through a translator and even then, I couldn’t quite make out what was […]

It’s not the first time we’ve heard this but it’s interesting nevertheless to hear it mentioned once more and it what sounds like more certain terms. It may explain why WP development is going so slowly or that might just be MS as usual. Tweeted by MSFTnerd: New #rumor: Myerson has decided to slowly merge […]

Oh dear. Whilst there are no more new Symbian and MeeGo phones, updates and apps were still trickling through Nokia Store. But as of January 2014, no more new apps for Symbian or MeeGo will be allowed. Asha and WP support will remain (with WP going to its own store as usual). After Jan 01 […]
