Earlier today Nokia published their Quarterly earnings for Q4 2012; announcing that they’re back in black with $585 Million dollars in profit. Q42012 is the first time in almost 2 years (7 Quarters exactly) that Nokia has netted a profit; Nokia’s choice to not pay dividend to investors is a strategy to assure people they know they still have [...]
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 the [...]
Sure the latest rage in the smartphone world is wireless charging, but what about those of us without the Qi awesomeness, or maybe we don’t have a wireless charger…. yet. Well fear not, for I present to you what is possibly the coolest way to charge your phone without ditching the wires…The Bobine! The bobine does [...]
I got included in a tweet convo where these pictures and videos were noted in the original thread. It’s the Nokia N950 prototype with pre-Swipe UI, just MeeGo-Harmattan I think. It’s what we were shown in the early days of MeeGo. http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=88577&page=8
Nokia seem to be quite happy with their latest sales figures, seeing how they released some figures before their quarterly earning report. Nokia claims to have delivered ”underlying profitability and that sales unit delivered better-than-expected results, We are pleased that Q4 2012 was a solid quarter where we exceeded expectations and delivered underlying profitability in Devices & Services and record underlying [...]
Earlier today Indian authorties “raided” the Nokia factory in Chennai India with claims of 30 billion Ruppes/ 543 Million dollars; worth of tax evasion charges. Although the factory was not shut down it’s unclear how this will affect the productivity of the factory. In response to the raid Nokia replied: Earlier today, tax officials visited Nokia’s [...]
At first when I saw this picture I thought “who on earth tried photoshopping MacOS onto one of our DreamNokia designs , turns out this is one designers concept of what the iPhone 6 should look like (stress on the fact that it’s a fan made design and probably not official). Still this design above looks WAY [...]
We previously read an interesting article about the future/past of Meego and what happened behind the scenes before it was scrapped; titled as the In depth story of Meego/Maemo. Well part two has been published (in Finnish) and covers a wide range of topics, mostly the transition phase from Meego to WP and the production [...]
The luck guys/gals at engadget have gotten a chance to play with Sailfish OS/Jolla mobile on the N950. Take a look at the UI all over again with the hidden menus, gestures and built in apps. (DAMN!! It looks so smooth! Although the font/theme does look very Androidish :/ ) [viddler id=8eae5613 w=545 h=307] http://www.viddler.com/v/8eae5613?secret=94294795 [...]
We’ve seen some brilliant MyDreamNokia concepts in the past, many by our very own reader Edgar Mkrtchyan; well Edgar has created a sort of mashup of all his dream Nokias and fit them into one image, along with one simple question; which do YOU prefer? Perhaps the Lumia 1002 Phablet phone? Which comes with a monster [...]
If you happened to stop by my post earlier this week about the Asha 308 unboxing; I commented that the new “full touch UI” on the higher end S40 devices bears some striking similarities to Meego and Symbian/Nokia Belle. I now take that back; S40 is like a Meego skin on Symbian on a 1Ghz processor, in [...]
The Lumia 920 is an interesting device, not just from the innovation on the outside, but from some of the design choices made in the device itself, the screen for example is .2″ larger than the Lumia 900, yet they’re both the same size. The camera is light years ahead of the N9/800/900 yet the [...]
THP never ceases to amaze me. Just when I thought he had out done himself with apkenv, he has brought the Harmattan community Cyclotron. The app (well mod really) takes the swipe to a new level, by allowing the user to swipe diagonally from the status bar to switch between apps. I can’t really do [...]
After publishing my unboxing gallery of the Lumia 920 I received quite a few comments in the reply section and on twitter noting that very few true images of the Lumia 920 in red exist; so happy to help out here are a couple more images of my beautiful new phone. (Images are not scaled down, full images are [...]

Stay awesome, without you my favorite company wouldn’t exist Speaking of which Nokia’s stock has doubled its value over the past month finally moving from the $2 mark reaching almost $4 today; while apple has lost $35 [...]
Whastsapp is having some server issues leading to all contact statuses being set as “Error: Status Unavailable”. However they are aware of the issue and are working on a fix, so no need to fall for the cahin whatsapps stating that it’s shutting down or becoming paid or whatever other BS some troll comes up with. WhatsApp status [...]
Nokia Levant just published a series of video spoofs/Ads where they have a (hopefully mock) reality show looking for Nokia’s Next Hand Model. the videos seem to be quite old as they show off the N9 rather than the Lumias, but that doesn’t stop them from being hilarious (and borderline inappropriate like the “balls” joke in the [...]
This one has been a long time coming, but Nokia have finally revamped Nokia.com, giving it a fresh new look that beats the old stale “select Region page”. The new site is colorful, vibrant and attractive, showing off the latest headlines and releases; and somehow manages to be professional yet informal at the same time; [...]
Here’s a look at the Sailfish UI for Jolla, as demoed on the Nokia N950. by puhelinvertailu Cheers Sefriol for the tip!
Jolla just revealed the UI for their Sailfish OS. To me, it is a Harmattan-Playbook OS hybrid. The UI brings with it a double tap to wake feature (based on the demo we saw on stage), swipe to exit apps, swipe up on homescreen for the launcher, swipe down for the status info (battery, carrier [...]
