Advertisements Previously we’ve heard about Nokia’s influence over Microsoft in terms of software; and how they were able to influence some decisions (such as the camera UI features and others). Well now it’s Microsoft’s turn, claiming that they have “some say” over what goes into the device and its hardware: “Our relationship is so close we get hardware […]
In a recent interview with Elop on Finnish TV (check out Jay’s blow by blow commentary in the post below if you haven’t seen it yet), the presenter showed Elop his iPhone and said he wants it to be a Nokia. Through the magical powers of tossing a phone across the room Elop promised to replace it with a Nokia (the presenter was […]

The freshly announced Pandora for Windows Phone has a little presentation video from the WP team. We’re told that whilst it looks the same on other platforms, this one has been built specifically for WP8, and includes ad-free streaming that you’d normally pay $3.99 for for the rest of the year. As well as […]

Check out this video by Viktor Fokeev. He went on a trip to India and recorded his travels on the Nokia 808 PureView, stitching his clips together in this really cool video. The first time I watched it, the sound hadn’t been processed. With the sound it’s a bit like one of Nokia’s more arty […]
