Apparently something interesting has been spotted. I don’t know how legit this is but this has appeared on wpbench. These pics were kindly sent to us by Stipan who was using wpbench on his Nokia Lumia 800. On that he found listed, the Nokia PureLambda, Nokia Phi, Nokia Pure Phi and Nokia Alpha – with the [...]
Now this explains why Engadget’s Nokia 808 PureView sample post consisted of merely 2 lines. They just wanted to share the images first and then discuss it later in a separate post. http://mynokiablog.com/2012/05/24/slashgear-and-engadgets-nokia-808-pureview-galleries/ Mat Smith from Engadget takes a look at the Nokia 808 PureView’s capabilities, comparing it even with the iPhone 4S and the [...]

Quick heads up on the Nokia 808 PureView again, this time concerning the NFC feature. Namely image sharing and mobile payment. NFC image transfers have been seen before on Nokia Belle devices. Nokia has apparently already applied for Mastercard and Visa accreditation. Source: Engadget Cheers steelicon and prashant for the tip!
Quick heads up before my next assessment. This one isn’t too bad, it’s a nice medical poster presentation Anywhoo, here’s a TV advert from Nokia Philippines for the Dual SIM Nokia Ashas. You also get Jollibee treats and a chance to win 100,000PHP. Man, I miss Jollibee – their chicken is the best bar none [...]
Engadget have brought together, what seems to be, their own sample pictures from the Nokia 808 PureView. I’m not quite sure who was tasked with taking the photos but they did decently enough. Going through the whole gallery, you can even see some of the 808 PureView team (though I don’t know how to look [...]
Another day, another appearance at Reddit for a Nokia. Yes it’s the old 3310 but yes too in that there’s a Nokia Lumia 900. http://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/u0z97/nokia_successor/ I sadly browse reddit too often when I take a study break so I can say that I rarely ever see any other phone making it to the front page [...]
We demoed the original PAC-MAN game in #180 and here is the Championship Edition DX. http://mynokiablog.com/2012/05/13/lumiappaday-180-pac-man-demoed-on-the-nokia-lumia-800-xboxlive/ As you’ll see in the video, it’s an interesting twist to the original. First the controls are much improved for touch – no more virtual joystick, just flick the direction you want. There’s also multitouch gestures to activate the [...]
Filing this under ouch. The Nokia 808 PureView is priced at Nokia Italy, SIM Free at 599 EUROS. Approx 480GBP. http://www.nokia.com/it-it/prodotti/telefoni-cellulari/808/acquista/ That’s a little more expensive than what we’ve heard for UAE. The price is listed at the same retailer we saw back in April. We had expected the price to come down a bit, [...]
The following bit of information comes from NokiaLino.it- An Italian blogger who recently attended a Lumia 610/900 launch event in Italy; he got some very interesting pieces of information regarding practically all the current Handsets that were announced last February. The most interesting of which is the fact that “Nokia Carla” Which was supposed to be the successor to Nokia Belle is no [...]
Nokia World 2012, originally scheduled to take place in Finland, September 25-26 is taking place ahead of schedule! http://mynokiablog.com/2012/03/06/nokia-world-2012-is-coming-home-to-finland-september-25-26/ The Helsinki Nokia World is taking place September 5th-6th instead! Also there’s a change in format. It won’t be the big single Nokia World event that it usually is, but various small ones. Hopefully this means [...]
Maybe I’m just not a fashionista to understand but these are looking rather tacky to me. This is the Vertu Constellation that now comes in tangarine, raspberry and mint green. Hmmm. http://www.vertu.com/en/collections/constellation.aspx#product-range-purchase?=asMNBFS Well, I guess it might be bought for wives of very rich gentlemen. Cheers Prashant for the tip
The above image shows a firmware update for the Nokia N8 seen in Spain at Navifirm. Looking closer, you can see it says 111.30.610. An unfamiliar firmware. (Cheers Antti for the screenshot). Well more updates are apparently on the way to the Nokia N8 in the shape of, not only Nokia Belle FP1, but also Nokia [...]
The post came up on my twitter feed this morning thanks to @Joaoluisc. It didn’t take too long and I’m not surprised at all. The first custom ROM for the Nokia Lumia 800 has been released, and apparently, the developer known as RainbowMod had released one for the 710 earlier. The ROM is a [...]
Let me start by saying this is a great game that you’re going to need to try out! If you liked Dalton that we demoed on the N9, this is like that. http://mynokiablog.com/2012/01/27/n9apps-dalton-the-awesome-demoed-on-the-nokia-n9/ This is quite simply, a running game called Running Dude. The principle is simple – just run and jump. But it’s really [...]
Here’s a nice long Render of either a fan-made concept of what WindowsPhone 8 will include or hopefully this is a Leaked UI guideline interface, there are some really interesting changes that are hopefully coming, most improtantly to me is the inclusion of the notification bar alongisde the media/volume popup bringing multiple toggles (Battery, Wifi, 3G, Lock [...]
To be honest I wasn’t expecting much at all from this little feature phone, I was completely dismissive of it’s camera and even cheated on my No Lumia week by taking a couple pictures of a document with the 800 to avoid having to use the Ashas camera. So you can imagine that I was [...]
Wahey! Got a short break after today’s exam and my next appointment and noticed something you guys will enjoy. Some of our readers have been requesting a detailed disassembly of the Nokia N9. Many were hoping it would be conducted by by LE55ONS as we’ve seen plenty of his very helpful tear downs and rebuilds. Check it out [...]
Neutral Density filters are sometimes used sometimes used to prevent over exposure by reducing the amount of light that enters the lens. Useful outdoors in bright sunlight. Often, it would be seen on big DSLRs to achieve motion blur on slow shutter speeds/longer exposure times. I believe the key Nokia phones have had ND [...]
