Aliqudsi | September 7, 2014 | Reply

Remember the Lumia 2520? Nokia’s awesome Windows 8.1 RT tablet that we hardly ever hear about anymore. Although it’s been a while since it’s launched, and newer Windows tablets are available on the market (the Surface Pro 3 for example), it’s still a great consumption device; and with the added power-keyboard you can actually get […]

Video: Hands on with cool glowing Nokia Qi Wireless Charging Pad

Nokia (now MS) has been spearheading the Wireless charging front. It’s something I take for granted and use on a daily basis.

Adam Giles demoes Lumia 830 in Microsoft Promo – no mention of Nokia

Jay Montano | September 5, 2014 | 8 Replies

Whilst previous Nokia Lumia demoes by Adam Giles mention Lumia only, the title on the channel still mentioned Nokia. Now as part of the transition away from the Nokia brand, Nokia apps are Lumia apps and now Nokia Lumia phones are just Lumia. Although I miss hearing Nokia name, Lumia 830, Lumia Denim, Lumia Panorama, […]
