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 [...]
On the news that Nokia swiftly had become the top WP Manufacturer (6 weeks), TechCrunch surprisingly has reacted surprisingly quite positive to both the news and to the Nokia Lumia products. “Welcome Back, Nokia If my Mom asked me what smartphone to buy right this second, I’d tell her to wait — wait until the Nokia Lumia [...]
Possibly the hottest news Nokia fans are waiting for is the much awaited N8 successor. I’ve grouped together our related posts on it so far (hopefully picked up most but feel free to link ones I’ve missed) N8 Successor Here’s another snippet of juicy gossip from none-other than our resident Nokia insider, dsmobile. Thanks dsmobile! [...]
Saw this link in one of our reader’s (Mike) comment yesterday. TheVerge reported that Apple CEO, Tim Cook, acknowledged Windows Phone as a legitimate competitor and the third horse in this race. Recently we heard a few Apple fans sharing their praises for Nokia Lumia for focusing on user experience first, in both hardware design [...]
In the past, Nokia has always been known for head turning design, either by being bold and distinct or just being utterly beautiful. Nokia’s touch phones have looked nice but nothing to light the world on fire. Then came of course the Nokia N9 which gave a glimpse as to what the Lumia 800 [...]
If you follow me on Twitter you would know that Nokia Connects shipped me out a Lumia 800 to trial. (Yes, Nokia Connects. Shipped to Australia from the UK ) As you also know, Nokia Australia sent me an N9 to keep, so I can constantly bring new updates on the device and reviews. I [...]
Yesterday the discussion was mostly about Nokia’s delivery times for updates. Now let’s look at that oh so subtle change of the legend of a name that was Symbian – the first to bring smartphone to the masses which now has been quietly dropped in line for the Nokia brand, Nokia Belle. It’s been almost [...]
We already saw a quick initial review of the latest cross-messaging app for Nokia phones yesterday, from the perspective of a Symbian User. This is a post I have quickly drawn up, as a way to provide some extensive feedback to the developers, as well as gauge the opinion of the readers here at MyNokiaBlog. [...]
It seems after we posted about a new N9 FW being available on Navifirm, many claimed it to be Pr 1.2, others a bug fix for PR 1.1. This post is to settle the dispute. Sorry for an image that looks sketchy, it is all I can reveal without sharing the developer’s details, but the [...]
It was something I’ve been fearing and has been reported through a lot of sources now (from IDC numbers). Nokia’s home market share is less than half what it was this time last year. What are the new competition beating phones in the Nokia portfolio? E7? X7? C7? Hello? What did we have against [...]
I don’t have the actual translation so just going on google translate which might skew some details. Apparently: “RBS estimates that Lumioita sold during the fourth quarter, a total of 850 000 to million pieces.” RBS arvioi, että Lumioita myytäisiin vuoden viimeisellä neljänneksellä yhteensä 850 000:sta miljoonaan kappaletta. Update: Thanks for the translation guys, it [...]
Dear MNB readers, the Nokia N8 impresses once again. Say what you may about Symbian^3/Anna/Belle and even Nokia, but we cannot truthfully deny the craftmanship that went into designing and developing the N8′s 12 Megapixel 720p Carl Zeiss camera module. From GSMArena: The rapid progress that cameraphone have been making over the past few years is no secret [...]
