Do capacitive buttons work with super sensitive touch? Why yes.

Advertisements Since we’re highlighting concerns about the Super Sensitive Screen, let’s talk about the capacitive buttons. Whilst the screen works perfectly with either skin or non skin items (glove, cloth, pen, key, banana etc) how on earth will capacitive buttons work? They’re going to be skin only right? How annoying would it be if you […]

The Nokia Lumia 800 and N9 were highly praised for their design, with one of the main characteristics being the seamless curved glass front screen. This was expected in the Nokia Lumia 900 but we were told that Nokia was unable to do this as the integrity/strength of the screen was compromised or words to […]

MS/Nokia – Watch out for BlackBerry/RIM – Thorsten Heins out to get you

Never underestimate the competition. Nokia and MS must be alert and on guard at all times, especially for Nokia who ignored the advancing competition. For Nokia, this resulted in a change from the undisputed king to the perpetual underdog. Someone else in their situation is RIM, also once highly regarded in the smartphone space is […]

Nokia Beta […]

Elementary is a new take on Sherlock Holmes, where the famous sidekick Watson is a female (played by Charlies Angel Lucy Liu).

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 […]
