Good News: The Back panel on the Lumia 920/820 Really is Scratchproof

| January 22, 2013 | 20 Replies

Advertisements One of my greatest issues with the N9/Lumia 800/Lumia 900 was the silver plating on the back that surrounded the camera lens. The fact was that no matter how careful you were with the phone it would end up being scratched in every possible spot; and it honestly hurt to look at. However with […]

Statcounter: WP crosses 20% in Finland (#Nokia #Lumia)

We’ve been watching Finland, home of Nokia and Lumia, and the progress of WP for a while. Fortunately it’s been a nice positive incline as WP adoption continues to increase in Finland, month after month, no doubt predominantly due to Nokia Lumia.

Multiple Sources Pointing at January 31st For Global WP 7.8 Rollout

Although a lucky few got an early release of Windows Phone 7.8 on what later turned out to be “developer devices”; unfortunately both Nokia and Microsoft haven’t been very forthcoming with the details of the rollout (as usual). Thankfully though other sources have been more helpful in providing a date for the update; which is most probably […]

    The Nokia Lumia 920 and 820 have super sensitive screens. This means that despite the glass capacitive screen being super responsive to light bare finger touches, it will also work with your gloves on. And 5 here to be exact. We’ve tried keys, plant stems, blackberries, iPhones, Galaxies, Banana peel, Orange Peel, pens, […]

My Dream Nokia #81: Nokia Lumia 1080 WP8 Concept

| January 21, 2013 | 31 Replies

This is My Dream Nokia #81, the Nokia Lumia 1080, created by Adrian Jankowiak. So named because of the 1080p screen. It otherwise follows the fabula design, with some slight tweaks.
