Nokia concentrating on smartphones and not producing tablets is somewhat understandable given the current conditions for Nokia. But in the world of mobile phones (which includes smartphones) trends within this category are not too be missed. It isn’t the first time Nokians got left behind. In clamshell and touch, Nokia was much too arrogant [...]
What am I looking at above? It’s a concept Instagram for WP8. What am I looking at below? It’s Instagram. On BB10. And apparently, it’s NOT an Android emulation. It’s rumoured to be native. If that’s the case then there’s some tables flipping this Sunday :p. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ No, we aren’t the only ones beginning [...]
Before I start allow me to make one thing absolutely clear; I HATE regional restrictions with a passion that burns hotter than the sun. I understand that in some instances it’s a must (such as Music streaming apps due to licensing issues, i.e. Nokia Music or Video streaming such as Netflix etc.), but it still gets on my nerves [...]
I know this is a pointless post, but I am fairly worked up over this. Over the last week, I had seen ads for an Aussie Drama, House Husbands. My Nokia eye caught glimpses of the side of an N8. I made it my mission to watch the latest episode, as I had been told [...]
Got tipped this the other day from Syed ( @spunkybloke ), about the Lumia 900 arriving in stores in KSA. I pushed the post back until I could get more information from him, and now we have it, as well as official confirmation, so I thought it was an appropriate time to post. So as [...]
I posted this over at MobilePhoneInnovation, so I figured I should post it here as well, since it is something a few readers may be interested in taking a look at. I’ve been doing some digging and have come across an interesting quote by somebody that was a part of getting MeeGo-Harmattan to where it [...]
Here’s a video showing “A day in London with Nokia’s location based apps”. Pinning locations to homescreen is really useful for me. Saves having to open up the app and search. You know what, it’s great to go around London on foot, travelling the underground to zip from one exciting place to another. [...]
Ok I might be slightly exaggerating right now, but it’s because I’m pissed; with yesterdays release of Outlook.com and a whole field of untapped email accounts going live I jumped at the chance to grab a nice one for myself; after all this looks to be the future of Hotmail/Live = Future of WP. Playing [...]
It’s been nearly 17 months now using Windows Phone and the Marketplace. Whilst I’ve been more than satisfied with the quality and quantity of apps coming to the platform, what annoys me sometimes is the ridiculously awful app search in marketplace. This post is not so much about the equally important topic of ‘App Discovery’ [...]
If there’s one thing Nokia is supreme at is that it sucks at advertising anything that it is good at. You’ll never really know half the amazing stuff a Nokia is capable of unless you’re in a Nokia blogosphere related bubble. Outside of it, Nokia’s assets fizzle away because why? Nokia won’t advertise it. [...]
With all the rumors and speculations about Windows Phone 8; most importantly what phone (if any) will be upgradeable the internet has become a mess of contradicting articles and quotes each claiming something different, and usually each one is the complete opposite of the previous; so here’s in hopes of getting some things cleared up [...]
This is now the second time this has happened. Marketplace has otherwise been a pleasant experience. Fortunately unlike Nokia/Ovi Stire, there is no download limit. You can download as many times as you like. Over and over. Unfortunately, the phone app, you CANNOT see what you have bought and what you haven’t. Well, not [...]
Just a quick suggestion before I go to bed. Nokia, why not bring the Nokia 808 PureView everywhere? I completely understand your direction to go with Lumia. PureView is groundbreaking mobile imaging. Right now it’s on the Nokia 808. Based on current information, there is no possibility of PureView or anything remotely close reaching [...]
I read the following stories on several other sites; but wasn’t sure it warranted a mention due to the fact that not a single solid name/source was mentioned in them- all that’s listed is “un-named source, Mobile executive, Carrier company…) so of course it could be a load of bull.. I’ll start with the obviously [...]
In the last few weeks, you may have noticed that I have been referring back to an old blogpost where Stephen Fry talked about Nokia, in particular the N97. Stephen Fry is a celebrity particularly famous in the UK for his acting, comedy, presenting, and an all around likeable, intellectual Brit that loves a [...]
Just a quick heads up. AAWP has been tracking the app numbers for Marketplace and it has apparently reached the 80,000 mark. 82,234 published in total to marketplace. As is common place, the numbers available to each country varies. Marketplace availability has increased, doubling from last year though still not fully global yet. Rafe predicts [...]
Something bad went down today regarding the Smoked by Windows Phone campaign. If you’re not familiar with that campaign, that was where a Windows Phone would challenge another phone to do a certain task. If that was completed faster than the Windows Phone, you win money/prize. If not, you can get your phone [...]
Last year we heard that Nokia would reduce the delay between the times phones are announced to the times they are available. [Image from http://mynokiablog.com/2011/04/27/nokias-windows-phone-coming-q4-oct-dec-2011-accenture-staff-to-be-retrained-for-windows-phone-after-symbian/ ] With the Nokia Lumia 800, they announced that they were shipping already on the day of announcement, with availability when they reach the shelves. Amazing stuff, Nokia turning things [...]
You probably don’t read the Daily Mail unless you’re in the UK and watch Jeremy Kyle. Clearly however this is a mainstream newspaper for the general non techy public. It’s here in NEWS not just a special section for gadgets and tech. For a phone to be noticed on this level is somewhat amazing for [...]
Mike Perlman is a photography expert. I don’t know if you remember his video reviews of cameras for infosyncworld? Mike is now over at TechnoBuffalo. http://www.technobuffalo.com/mobile-devices/phones/why-the-nokia-808-pureview-is-the-first-real-threat-to-the-digital-camera/ Basically, it seems that those that respect the Nokia 808 PureView are those that well, understand what’s going on underneath beyond 41mp. http://mynokiablog.com/2012/02/28/nokia-808-pureview-sensor-a-look-by-dpreview-mp-war-is-over/ Those that knock it are those [...]
The tech newbie knows not what mega pixels are The slightly aware thinks more megapixels the better The more tech familiar might be aware that more MP doesn’t mean better pictures. It’s a common comment of the self proclaimed photography enthusiast – the MP myth. They might even suggest it might be bad. Those [...]
