According to Mary Jo Foley, Microsoft is going to solve the issue of wasted space on bigger displays, but essentially, filling them up – with more tiles that is. The rumour is that there will be support for a third column of medium sized tiles. Windows Phone Daily made the mockup you see [...]
We’ve received the following tip from a source we’ll refer to as anonymous. Take this information with a pinch of salt. You may have heard the mentions of a Mini N9 every now and again, perhaps either when the news of Meltemi arose or later perhaps as you saw the new Asha’s with a very [...]
UPDATE: TheVerge confirms that there is a Nokia Lumia EOS that has a similar sensor to the Nokia 808 PureView. Nokia EOS will be the higher range of Lumia, built in aluminium. The edges will be square. AT&T will have the handset later this year. Tablet due 2013, presented Q1, contrary to source below. [...]
Occasionally we need to take a break from Nokia dedicated news and take a look at what else is happening in the mobile world; after all ignoring the competition is partially what got Nokia in the hole it’s been in for the past few years. So hears a mini-roundup of related news to both Nokia [...]
Also in last night’s email, I was tipped that we may be seeing a Nokia Tablet, coming early 2013, running Windows 8 RT. It is supposedly using the design of the “Senna” tablet, that was initially designed to run MeeGo-Harmattan. Spec wise, all I was told was it will have an 8MP rear camera, and [...]
I got an email overnight about the Lumia 9xx launching on Verizon. We have already seen a super blurry photo of what is apparently the camera module, with some speculating it is a 41MP Lumia. The email I got said that the Lumia 9xx will have the same module as the Lumia 920, but with [...]
Tipped in by @NokiaPureView on twitter, was a link to a video, supposedly recording from the Nokia Asha 312. Hang on? The Asha 312 doesn’t exist! According to the video’s description, the 312 is the 311, but a dual sim variant. It is not a lot to go on, so definitely take this with lots [...]
I wouldn’t put too much into this. I got a tweet from Antero saying: Antero @Antsaantero @jaymontano Have you seen this? Any thoughts?pic.twitter.com/FyfaJEqP#nokia#wp8#rumour That leads to the image below on what looks like a very interesting, blocky looking almost Bang and Olufsen like phone. The tweet is said very matter-of-factly, with no other tweets mentioning anything [...]
There’s no doubt that the Microsoft Surface is one heck of a tablet, it has got all it needs to succeed, great design (the likes of what we’ve grown accustomed to from Nokia), intuitive features and that little something different; however for a while now the big question has been pricing. According to Microsoft the point of [...]
T Treat this with bags of salt. Rumour has it that new WP8 Nokia Lumia devices are coming September 5th. Translation didn’t specify how this information came about. The date would tie up nicely to Nokia World which got moved early to September 5-6th (btw, we still have not heard any more details about [...]
I was surprised to hear about Meltemi being axed so soon after hearing some conflicting information about Qt and Linux at Nokia. One thing that was never really made clear is what was happening to the Linux based Smarterphone OS that Nokia purchased. Let’s say I had a feeling that Nokia would still be doing [...]
There’s been plenty of rumours flying around that I haven’t got to yet. First up http://www.insideris.com/nokia-windows-phone-8-handsets-launching-on-september-5th-verizon-exclusive/ Anywhoo, insideris reckons that Nokia may be launching their WP8 device as soon as September. They say that back in March they were tipped off anonymously about the Verizon Lumia WP8 handset appearing September 5th. But how could 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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
The MS Nerd has been tweeting some Nokia related tweets regarding some future devices. These are just rumours (the most recent thing we have posted about was that FreeTimeMachine thing First: A PureView Lumia Clear Black HD display with Qualcomm’s super fast S4 chip. Now you might think this was merely based on the render [...]
Androsym have posted “leaked slides” showing off an upcoming WP handset from Nokia, boasting the impressive 41mp PureView technology. To me, it’s quite an ugly design, but some people have said they like the 808′s design so I guess, it is all in the eye of the beholder. Based on the leaked slides, the specs [...]
Phone Arena is reporting on a little poster for possible upcoming Nokia phones powered by Windows Phone 8. Perhaps, a little too late for April Fools? The images could easily be faked. It is apparently just a template. I thought Nokia was sticking to just Nokia (without the connecting people bit?). I can’t tell what [...]
The Verge reports that Nokia may be preparing a couple more Lumias for AT&T. (Not clear on Verizon or T-mobile.) http://www.theverge.com/2012/3/6/2846127/nokia-prodigy-ac-dc-windows-phone-8 First up, supposedly a superphone called the Nokia Prodigy. This is followed by a mid-range AC/DC. Nokia World dates just got announced for September 25-26. The above two handsets are expected to appear [...]
I haven’t had much time to blog lately but, today is no ordinary day. I woke up in the morning with a feeling that something great was about to happen at MWC. I’m so glad I wasn’t wrong The announcement of Nokia 808 Pureview is pretty much a dream come true to all of us Symbian/Nokia [...]
There is an excellent PDF on how the PureView technology works, put together by Damian Dining and other members of the imaging team. It is quite extensive so I wont bore anyone with the details too much. If you’re interested, you can get it here. http://t.co/J0VcK9OQ All I will say, is Nokia, welcome back! Michael
