Advertisements Apparently there’s a surprise update available for the Nokia 808; rolling it up to version 113.010.1508; this update brings “Improved performance and features”. The update although 420MB in size (that’s through the PC suite; possibly much smaller OTA?) doesn’t seem to bring any major changes, or in fact anything noticeable at all; nonetheless updates are always good, so try […]
Any of the Symbian users here are surely familiar with CameraPro, an app that gave the user extended controls over the camera settings in terms of increased zoom, ISO, camera modes, Autofocus etc. (very useful for N8). Well the app has now hit the Windows Phone marketplace (WP8 only :/ ). The included features are: Fast access […]
Speaking of QWERTY smartphones, let’s take a look back at this slider QWERTY, the Nokia E7. It’s on Amazon for just $199 – not bad after over 2 years from being announced (£123 GBP) though I’d probably be greedy and want it for even lower. http://www.amazon.com/Nokia-Unlocked-Touchscreen-Navigation-Camera–U-S. I took a quick look on Amazon UK for comparison […]
The growth of Nokia is tied closely to the growth of Lumia and Asha. Lumia at the high end, which may also to give a halo effect to more budget friendly Asha. Surur over at WMPU recognises the importance of Nokia to WP and has been looking closely at statcounter data over the past […]
Check out these videos by Joseph Periappuram. This is just an everyday, bedroom style recording of him playing his guitar recorded on the Nokia 808 PureView. But it doesn’t sound like a plain old, harsh, tinny, scratchy home video recording (especially not from a phone!). Note how close the camera is to the amp and all. […]
Previously I noted that my 808 had some issues connecting/maintaining a connection to my home WiFi connection, which some of you pointed out has been a constant bug in Symbian since the start. Beta Labs have published a WiFi update for all FP1 device that fixes some “WiFI interoperability issues” which should hopefully settle the matter: It has been […]
For those loving the Nokia 808 PureView in the US but still waiting for the price to drop, James Scott noticed that it has gone slightly under $500 – $495.82 right now. That’s equivalent to around £305GBP. Amazon Link: Nokia 808 PureView Black Factory Unlocked 41MP GPS Just in time for Christmas? 🙂 Cheers […]
If you happened to stop by my post earlier this week about the Asha 308 unboxing; I commented that the new “full touch UI” on the higher end S40 devices bears some striking similarities to Meego and Symbian/Nokia Belle. I now take that back; S40 is like a Meego skin on Symbian on a 1Ghz processor, in […]
The Lumia 920 is an interesting device, not just from the innovation on the outside, but from some of the design choices made in the device itself, the screen for example is .2″ larger than the Lumia 900, yet they’re both the same size. The camera is light years ahead of the N9/800/900 yet the […]
