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 [...]
While watching the latest episode of ABC’s “Revenge” I noticed that both a black Lumia (900 probably) and the HTC 8X showed up back to back in the same episode. I’m not sure if the Lumia was a paid placement, but the 8X was definitely a paid placement seeing how it got about 5 minutes [...]
When it comes to Windows Phone OEMs Nokia have a clear advantage in terms of software (crazy amount of exclusive apps, Nokia Drive, Cinemagraph etc.) and some of the coolest hardware innovations out there (Pureview, Puremotion, Super sensitive touch etc.); it always seemed like a done deal to me that anyone who considered Windows Phone would instinctively go for [...]
Nokia obviously didn’t invent Wireless charging, but in a sense they re-invented it by re-introoducing it to the masses and going all in with it, bring out multiple accessories, docks, plates and even having wireless charging spots installed in coffee shops and lobbies across the globe. And it would seem this time they figured out exactly what the next [...]
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 [...]
Back in September both Nokia and HTC announced two new WP* devices, one High end device (920/8X) and one low end device (820/8S); Nokia also doubled down on all the big carriers providing multiple variants of the 820 to T-Mobile and Verizon with the 810 and 822. However it seems that dominating the medium-range WP8 market is [...]
The folks over at the PureView club have posted a mini gallery featuring the beautiful red Lumia 920 vs. the HTC 8x (in Blue), hardware wise up close it is a bit easier to differentiate between the two. The Lumia with its instantly recognizable Lumia curves and gloss, while the HTC has a ruberrized back making it [...]
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 [...]
Here’s another video comparison, this time pitting the Lumia 920 against the HTC Titan II whose claim to fame is a 16MP camera, although in all honesty it’s not even worth comparing, the winner is obviously the 920. The Titan II’s colors look washed out, and seems to have difficulty focusing on the passing objects, while the 920 just breezes past; also [...]
Nokia have been pretty active on the “toying front” with other phone manufactures, taking shots at Samsung, Motorola, Apple and many others; of course it’s only natural for other to retaliate, which is exactly what HTC have done. @HTC tweeted “The 8X is 20 pennies lighter than the “other” Windows Phone”; of course it says a lot when your only advantage against “the [...]
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 – [...]
With all the rumors and speculations about Windows Phone 8; most importantly what phone (if any) will be upgradeable the internet has become a mess of contradicting articles and quotes each claiming something different, and usually each one is the complete opposite of the previous; so here’s in hopes of getting some things cleared up [...]
Two things that have gone up recently at Nokia Press relate to patent infringements, and also the Carl Zeiss-Nokia partnership. First up, let’s look at the patent infringements. Nokia are claiming that HTC and Viewsonic have infringed on their patents in the US, and that HTC and RIM have infringed patents in Dusseldorf, Germany, with [...]
Ok so I’m supposed to be studying but all the buzz around CES is making it extremely difficult, regardless for those of you who haven’t heard HTC have just announced during At&ts CES conference that they will be releasing the ’HTC Titan II’ accompanied with a 16MP camera. Which by the way makes the original HTC Titan which was released less than [...]
So a link from Nokia promoting Facebooks CES event… Interesting? There have been multiple rumors and reports of a “Facebook phone” which FB have continuously shot down FBs official response to the rumors: Facebook is not building a phone. Our approach has always been to make phones and apps more social There have also been [...]
GSMarenas Battery test for the Lumia 800 are in; and the results are bittersweet. Just to keep things in perspective for everyone; the main comparison should be between the Lumia 800 and the N9, considering that they both have the same battery, same type of screen and almost the same screen size (Lumia 800 is .2 inches smaller screen-wise). [...]
So a lot has been made about this ‘alliance” (I hate that word) a lot of negative comments mainly from the Nokia enthusiasts side and also employees and developers that work on Symbian. Nokia and Microsoft make this sound like the best thing since sliced bread but the markets don’t seem to agree, because of [...]
The gigantic Windows Mobile HTC HD2 has been spotted with MeeGo 1.1. There were some initial problems, but recent tweets from Steve Smith says he has got the touch screen working. The screen, as with the Android ports look a little stretched. BTW, non-Nokia blogs are reporting the UI to be interesting. And those big, [...]
