Nokia Lumia 800 top of TechnoBuffalo’s Sexiest Gadgets list for 2011 (+ramble on N9/Nokia design)

| January 2, 2012 | 56 Replies

Advertisements   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 […]

Mango vs. MeeGo: Transition from N9 to Lumia 800 (and back)

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. […]

Poll: Naming – Symbian Belle, Nokia Belle or something else? (and a little rant)

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. […]

Clarity on Nokia N9 FW versions

| December 8, 2011 | 24 Replies

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 […]

Nokia Smartphone Market Share slumps at home in Finland (though still top)

Nokia Smartphone Market Share slumps at home in Finland (though still top)

| December 2, 2011 | 73 Replies

  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 […]

1 Million Lumia sold for Q4? (Since when is 6 weeks Q4? 1m/6weeks, same as SGS)

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 […]

Here’s an interesting video covering a topic that’s coming up frequently in the discussions here.  The video is titled, “What is life-enhancing? The balance between technology and user experience” Here they talk about focusing now on user experience instead of just pure technology. Nokia has led in Technology before like no other, but along came […]
