Rumors: Tango Update to Bring Folder Tiles and Better Playback?
Now that most Windows Phone devices are running Mango the floodgates on Tango rumors have started, Tango was previously rumored to be released sometime Q2 of 2012, which isn’t too far off now. The latest batch of rumors claim that Tango will enable users to add ‘Folder Tiles’ to your own live homescreen; making it [...]
12MP Lumia 900 to Come to Carriers in May???
Allow me to start off by saying I have no idea how reliable these rumors are; according to a ‘source’ the exclusivity of the 900 to At&t is only a temporary matter; in fact only 45 days (starting on March 18th). According to the source once the exclucivity period is over Nokia will release a modified 900 to all carriers packing [...]
How Did HTC Pull-off a 16MP Camera? (Eldars thoughts)
Ok so I’m supposed to be studying but all the buzz around CES is making it extremely difficult, regardless for those of you who haven’t heard HTC have just announced during At&ts CES conference that they will be releasing the ’HTC Titan II’ accompanied with a 16MP camera. Which by the way makes the original HTC Titan which was released less than [...]
Are Nokia and Facebook up to Something? (Crazy Thoughts)
So a link from Nokia promoting Facebooks CES event… Interesting? There have been multiple rumors and reports of a “Facebook phone” which FB have continuously shot down FBs official response to the rumors: Facebook is not building a phone. Our approach has always been to make phones and apps more social There have also been [...]
Nokia Respond to Eldars Rumors (Also reminds Engadget that they’ll be at CES)
“We’ve put these rumours to rest a long time ago. The focus for Nokia is on executing on our partnership around Windows Phone and growing the ecosystem, and each company has the tools they need to do so” Basically Eldar knows nothing please focus on the awesomeness of our phones, seriously though; Nokia UK responded to slashgears post about [...]
Rumors: Chevron Discontinues WP7 $9.99 Unlock; The Real Story
Ok for those of us coming from Symbian no OS would be complete without the ability to sideload apps onto a device, recently Chevron Unlocker tool has been the answer to that on WP7.5 (allowing you to purchase a semi-developers licence for a penny under $10; enabling you to sideload up to ten non-marketplace apps). Now according to chevron their [...]
Microsoft and Nokia were in talks to jointly bid on RIM?
Did you hear the hubbub about Amazon supposedly being interested in buying RIM? What’s that got to do with a Nokia blog? Well it’s quite big news but something closer to home is that apparently Microsoft AND Nokia were going to make a JOINT bid on BlackBerry makers RIM. According to WSJ, Nokia and Microsoft [...]
Rumours: Nokia Tango for CES/MWC, Nokia Apollo for Nokia Connection (June) as well as Windows 8 tablets
We had a few tips on this yesterday but I didn’t have much to go on other than trusting ‘an industry insider’. That post was later updated to show that the source is someone who works at Nokia. Exactly what, we’re not sure. Could be the cleaner. Joke. Point, take with pinches of salt. [...]
Nokia 803, Nokia 820, 830, Symbian and WP Lumia Nokia N8 12MP successors? Pic?
The PocketNow guys have apparently received a manual about the Nokia N8′s successor. Clear in the image is a large hump. That’s apparently a Nokia 803 with Symbian Belle. However, it’s not squircle like the N9 shaped case we saw before and is not in keeping with the Nokia N9′s design. If the screen is [...]
Nokia’s high end WP offering on it’s way, WIndows 8 tablet as well?
The current crop of Windows Phone 7 devices from Nokia is not even widely available yet, but the rumours for the next generation devices are already surfacing. Nokia France’s head might have spoken a little too soon about upcoming products. In a recent interview with the French newspaper Les Echos he said that the current [...]
Upcoming Symbian Updates: Carla & Donna!??
I usually hate blurrycam images, but when its about two symbian updates that haven’t even been announced I make exceptions. Big exceptions in this case as an image that popped up on Symbianlatino.com appears to show the future road map for Symbian displaying to upcoming updates named “Carla & Donna” The image source claims that [...]
New Social Applications for Belle & Updates for X7, E6, 500 before the rest? + Minor Rant
Random screenshot of Belle I found on Nokias official Belle website :http://www.nokia.com/sg-en/products/featured-phones/belle/ as you can see there seems to be two new widgets dedicated to Facebook & Twitter. The Facebook applications seems to have notification support FINALLY!!! how does anyone make a Facebook app that doesn’t even support notifications??? Groups or Pages and Events I might understand but notifications are the core [...]
Nokia Champagne/900/Ace update-
One of my favorite tweeps @marvelprash pointed me to an updated page about the Nokia Champagne/Ace/900 which Jay had posted about yesterday. It is now confirmed that Nokia Champagne runs OS version 7.10.8711 which is a build of Tango Since this phone was tested on AT&T networks to test LTE, it might just be a Lumia 800 running under a different code name (since [...]
Nokia Champage with Windows Phone Tango – Nokia 900/Ace?
WPCentral reports that something called Nokia Champagne has been spotted running Windows Phone Tango on the “I’m a WP7 app!” which has been accurate so far in finding out names of upcoming Nokia Windows Phones. The date noted here is October 25th, just before Nokia World. Is it the 900 – the only one of [...]
Rumours resurface: Nokia N8 Camera successor, Symbian, WVGA, Spring 2012.
We’ve been following news of the supposed N8 successor for a long while. Already around April fools, we heard of some 14mp qHD N8-01 that of course never surfaced. An N8 successor though is completely out of the question. We know Nokia is working on something called True-Zoom (something they had mentioned) and earlier in [...]
Rumours: Nokia Windows Phone, Nokia Ace to have 4.3″ AMOLED, 1800mAh and LTE 4G – AT&t Q1 2012. SeaRay+Sabre specifications inside.
We got sent this by “anonymous tipster” so take this with massive pinches of salt. If any of this is true, you may be quite pleased. Apparently, they will ALL be announced on October 26th at Nokia World. Just 25 days away. You can see that SeaRay is indeed not the high end Nokia Windows [...]
Rumours: Picture of Nokia 703 Windows Phone Mango (Looks like Nokia N9/Sea Ray). Available November
Yesterday we heard about a possibly Nokia 703 Windows Phone handset. Whilst there were some concerns by our readers that the 703 in this instance could just be a modified device UID, WMPU was sent an image of possibly that same device, which looks like the Sea-Ray with camera and front buttons (that in turn [...]
Nokia 801 – Possible 16mp Belle or make believe?
Get that bag of salt and throw it over your shoulder. The same person who claimed to have info on upcoming Nokia Windows Phones – Nokia 900 – has said their source has divulged some more information. Ignore the actual MS paint design job there. That is probably just to give an idea of [...]
Rumours: Possible Nokia Windows Phone Specs? #Wishfulthinking #Hydra #Nokia #900
Daily Mobile forum has an image of supposedly from a ‘reliable source’. This is the person’s first post on the forum and looks more like something that belongs in our dream-nokia sessions rather than actual upcoming devices. The specifications aren’t actually anything extra-ordinary, what is expected from 2011 actually, but would be a surprise [...]
Rumour: Super-Nokia Camera Phone next year, Nokia 700 Belle in September.
We received an email sent in by long time reader and super Symbian-Fan Ninja, who’s friends apparently with one of the senior staff at one of the UK’s mobile networks . No revealing details mentioned of course for anonymity’s sake. So take this all as rumours, actually not too far out if you take a read. He’s [...]
Rumour: Nokia N9 possibly releasing for UK?
I spoke to my mate at Vodafone AU and he said he saw that there are rumours of that the UK will offer the handset from the 16th of August. (Apparently, Russia has a pre-order date the same as this). As we mentioned earlier, Australia has been suggested as the first market to launch [...]
