We’ve heard plenty of rumors about a Nokia tablet coming soon; with most mouths pointing to this month at MWC. Without beating around the bush, I DON’T think Nokia should release a tablet just yet. Not that I wouldn’t absolutely love one (heck I’m dying for one!) but looking at it from a marketshare/profit point of view I can’t see it [...]
At first when I saw this picture I thought “who on earth tried photoshopping MacOS onto one of our DreamNokia designs , turns out this is one designers concept of what the iPhone 6 should look like (stress on the fact that it’s a fan made design and probably not official). Still this design above looks WAY [...]
Occasionally we need to take a break from Nokia dedicated news and take a look at what else is happening in the mobile world; after all ignoring the competition is partially what got Nokia in the hole it’s been in for the past few years. So hears a mini-roundup of related news to both Nokia [...]
The Lumia 920 is an interesting device, not just from the innovation on the outside, but from some of the design choices made in the device itself, the screen for example is .2″ larger than the Lumia 900, yet they’re both the same size. The camera is light years ahead of the N9/800/900 yet the [...]
One of Nokia’s largest victories this month has been the fact that it beat out the iPhone for the number one spot on China Mobile, which is the largest carrier IN THE WORLD (say that in Jeremy Clarkson’s Voice). Now that both the iPhone 5 and the Lumia 920 are on sale through Amazon China [...]
In a recent patent ruling that Nokia & Sony held jointly against Apple; the court has ruled that Apple has infringed on all 3 patents that went to court (of an original 14 said violations). The patents include camera phones and call handling/rejections. There is no official word on a settlement price yet, but it’s possible to [...]
You can count on Apple to try and patent everything that moves, which apparently also includes electricity. Apple’s latest claim to court is that it has improved on Wireless charging and should therefore be awarded a patent for its new charging method. Apple’s charging technique claims to use magnetic resonance to be able to charge devices [...]
Here’s a brief look at Here/Nokia maps on iOS vs. the “optimal Mapping experience” on WP: As a quick recap the main advantages of a WP/Lumia device (WP8) are: Maps are loaded on the devices themselves, accessible by all apps; leading to smoother loadings and data savings iOS/Android only have turn by turn navigation for [...]
Quick post. Nokia (or should I say HERE) have release HERE Maps for iOS. The iTunes store description is as follows: HERE Maps helps you feel like a local anywhere you go. See where you are, search and discover nearby places, and get a feel for the place. Collect places to remember or for later [...]
Earlier today we had a chance to chat with Nokia’s Mapping team regarding yesterday’s launch of the newly branded location service “here”; check out what they had to say down below, but most importantly a small note to anyone who was wondering about bringing Nokia’s services to its competitors: One very important note, a lot [...]
.jpg "Nokia Taking HTC to Court With 32 Alleged Infringements")
It’s no secret that Nokia have a very large wealth of patents under their belt, in fact some say that Nokias patent portfolios worth more than the actual Smartphone business. Regardless Nokia have never been overly aggressive with their patents, usually preferring to settle with who-ever chooses to infringe on them, rather than risk long and expensive court trials. The [...]
Earlier today a mini debate was sparked on twitter when I tweeted that Microsoft Stores were probably more effective at selling the new Lumia devices than the At&t stores: MSFT stores will be the real factor in selling 920s, At&t employees are kind of clueless. — Ali Al-Qudsi (@AliQudsi) November 11, 2012 The reasoning [...]
It would seem the Meego community doesn’t like being left out of anything; either that or when they hear an app developer say “No, we don’t have any plans at the moment” that translates into “I dare you to do it yourself”. Either way we should all be thankful for the skilled guys out the who are clever and savvy enough [...]
It was less than a year ago that Samsung outsold Nokia and became the world’s largest MOBILE PHONE (Not only smartphone) manufacturer; after which Nokia slowly started sliding further and further down the line. as of this week Nokia are no longer part of the top 5 Smartphone manufacturers (but are still 2nd place to Samsung in total phone [...]
The following post doesn’t have any solid “official” numbers to support it, but it does a few to “guide” it towards the point I’m making; in other words this is a HUNCH; don’t prosecute me…please Earlier today At&t launched their quarterly profits announcing total sales of 6.1 Million Smartphones; 4.7 Million of which were iPhones: 6.1 – [...]
I’m in the middle of some Uni work, BBC iPlayer on the side for background noise when I hear on Russell Howard’s Good News programme, a very familiar voice. GeneralTheDestroyer?! Did a youtube video spontaneously load? Nope, GeneralTheDestroyer was on the BBC programme (3rd October) being quoted contrasted against some die hard iPhone fans, with [...]
Last week we saw an interesting inphographic detailing how Nokia Maps matches up to it’s competitors (Google and Apple Maps); unsurprisingly it held it’s own and beat them in most stats (funny how that’s happening more and more now with the “new” Nokia, specs and graphs were always their downfall- where as a Nokia fan I would have to constantly [...]
After the recent fiasco with iOS maps and the ditching of google maps on iOS6 and going with their own half-baked version of the maps, alot of people have been demanding they fix it. Earlier today Apple’s CEO made a statement regarding the maps: While we’re improving Maps, you can try alternatives by downloading map [...]
Here’s a really nice infographic showing a comparison between Nokia maps, Apple’s new maps and Google Maps. It’s obvious that Nokia have the advantage in Most fields only losing to Google maps when it comes to traffic updates; but the one thing I really enjoyed about this infographic was that it didn’t try to spin [...]
Nokia UK just posted the graph above on FB along with the caption “Good things come to those who wait”, hinting for people to hold off the iPhone 5 and “wait” for the super amazing Lumia 920 (if only we knew when it was coming). Notice that this graph doesn’t take any cheap shots at [...]
@Panhead93/Keith Francis tweeted this picture to us above (not sure where it’s from) but it compares the Nokia Lumia 920 against the new iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, One X, SGS III and the ridiculously named Droid RAZR MAXX HD. It’s interesting to note that Nokia could mention in future that their 920 has a higher [...]
