Though they were asked to remove their YouTube app for breaking Google’s terms and conditions, it seems Microsoft are going to keep the app by possibly updating it to follow YouTube’s rules. I don’t think the download option is there anymore (not that I used it at the time to recall where it would [...]
For some reason or the other Nokia have always insisted on NOT including “HDR” in pretty much all their phones, the 808 has “bracketing mode” but that’s about it. Of course HDR is kind of useful sometimes, and sometimes people have no idea what it is, but constantly have it set to on, on their [...]
Although it’s been obvious for quite some time, Nokia have officially announced their partnership with WarnerBrothers and the Man of Steel movie. This of course means loads of teaser material, exclusive wallpapers and fun apps. Using the Lumia 925 on the new site will let you see “More than your eyes can see” thanks to [...]
Nokia has a thing for superhero movies (or so it would appear), strongly associating themselves with the Dark Knight franchise and now the new Superman Movie “Man of Steel”. In their latest trailer/teaser they have a snippet of the new Man of Steel trailer playing inside a steel bodied Lumia 925 (I see what you did there). [...]
Well here’s how to show off Windows Phone/Nokia Lumia. Not by hiding it in the corner and ignoring it, but by having a little bit of effort. Nice one, Australia. It’s pretty funky. There’s a multiscreen above and a big interactive WP. Via: Reddit
Early this morning, my Lumia 820 got prompted with an update for HERE Maps. I pressed update, without paying much attention, as I was half asleep still. Doing the rounds on the interwebs, I saw Nokia Conversations had posted about the update. HERE Maps has been updated, and comes with the new LiveSight Augmented Reality [...]
Although at the end of the day the only thing that really matters in the smartphone race is the number of phones you ship/sell, these numbers are of course influenced by a number of factors including customer satisfaction. In the latest poll Nokia have risen to 76% (tying with Samsung), while Apple who still hold first place slipped [...]
In another (actually impressive) video promo by Verizon, they show off the Lumia 928′s abilities to take the perfect low light picture. plain and simple no bashing of the S3 or the iPhone, just showing how much better pictures come out; and I thought it was actually really nice: What do you guys think? Via [...]
With three variants of the Lumia 9XX available it’s just that much more difficult to find the perfect phone for you (unless you’re dictated by your carrier of course). So in a magical world were all devices are available to everyone no matter what your LTE preference which would you choose? The Original most innovative of them all the [...]
One of the things that impressed me about the Lumia 720 back at MWC was the video quality, sure it only captured 720p but it was impressive, especially the front facing camera. The FFC on the 720 has the same 1.3 mp sensor/720p capable as the Lumia 920 (with the same wide angle lens). So I thought [...]
So I’ve been playing around with the Lumia 720 for a couple of days now, and I’m absolutely in love with the design. The way the phone just fits in your hand, and the beautiful screen it is the perfect Lumia in terms of design in my opinion. Here’s a quick gallery comparing it to the Lumia 920; and a [...]
You know the saying “when it rains it pours”? Well it’s pouring Instagram clients right now, as yet another one has joined the tables. #2InstaWithMassiveLove (not to be confused with Nokia’s own #2InstaWithLove) has just hit the marketplace, and it delivers in the simple terms of allowing you to upload photos (after filtering them with the usual tones) directly [...]
It’s always interesting to look at how far technology has progressed, and although with the latest Lumia 925 we can see that obviously in terms of actual performance (blowing away the S4, One and everything else). It’s also nice to see what’s inside the device (which is what counts); the picture above is a side by side of the camera [...]
One of the most irritating things about the Windows Phone marketplace (besides the missing apps) is the fact that your purchase options are VERY limited, Paypal is only supported in a few countries, and I’m not even sure if carrier billing is an option. Even worse is the fact that there *was* no such thing [...]
Instagraph, Windows Phone’s first option to share photos to Instagram has just been updated with a few major updates, most importantly the fact that it now supports Windows Phone 7. Rejoice! Other features include a cheaper price tag (now $.99) and unlimited uploads unlimited uploads + 0.99$ for wp7 version too new crop page (without border limits, [...]
In the latest Nokia Conversations post comparing the Lumia 925 to the competition, they added a final note about the Lumia 920′s imaging performance: We’ll show you what difference the Nokia Lumia Amber Update makes to the photos from the Nokia Lumia 920 in the coming weeks… So hopefully we’re set to get some greater software optimization [...]
The folks at the official Nokia blog have posted a quick simple comparison of the Lumia 925 vs. the competition (Xperia Z, iPhone 5, S4, HTC One). Of course the 925 wins hands down (no surprises there) but check it out at the link below: http://conversations.nokia.com/2013/05/16/so-how-good-is-the-lumia-925-camera/
Google doesn’t want to make a YouTube app for Windows Phone, nor has it allowed access to the necessary APIs for MS to make a complying youtube app. So they went and made their own which Google isn’t happy about because it circumvents ad placement. Google is all about ads – it functions to [...]
Our buddy Sam got a quick video showing off the double tap to wake feature on both the Lumia 920 and the 925, some were skeptical about it coming to the 920 due to needing some “hardware optimization” but it apparently works just fine. The real question is how will an always on screen fair? [...]
With todays announcement of Hipstamatic for WP Lumia users have one more option to share to instagram via. But they might not need it for much longer, in the latest Instagram for WP saga a new twitter account @InstagramWp was opened today; and the first person to follow it was the official @Nokia on twitter. Intriguing…… [...]
There were some videos floating around yesterday, showing off Creative Studio, Nokia’s Lumia Exclusive photo editing suite for Windows Phone. The videos showed a new “Blur” and “Play” mode. I figured these would be “unlocked” in the Amber update. Thankfully, we need not wait. In Blur, you have the option to focus in on an [...]
