This is now the second time this has happened. Marketplace has otherwise been a pleasant experience. Fortunately unlike Nokia/Ovi Stire, there is no download limit. You can download as many times as you like. Over and over. Unfortunately, the phone app, you CANNOT see what you have bought and what you haven’t. Well, not [...]
Dino Parade is like the Bye Bye Brain series except that it’s with Dinosaurs. Whilst the concept is similar, it’s still a nice and refreshing game to play. To defend yourself against dinosaurs, you have to use a range of household appliances. You’ll have to balance out which appliances to get, or which current ones [...]
Wayne Brady (IMDB Link for Y’all)- well known actor and Emmy winner; for me he’s known as Barney’s Gay Brother (HIMYM reference) just picked up a Lumia 900 (in stormtrooper white *please stop torturing me*) and is flaunting it on twitter along with his matching On Ear Purity Headphones. Wayne Brady@waynebrady Sorry about the bad link:( sucks! [...]
Just a quick update- the Global variant of the Lumia 900 (Finland) has showed up on Navifirm running Tango (Mango Refresh); as far as I recall the 900 has yet to be released in Finland (supposed to hit shelves the 25th of May if I recall correctly) so hopefully this means it’ll be coming soon to all. [...]
A while back we posted about a new upcoming Nokia entertainment service called Nokia TV, well know the app is officially available to download on all Lumia devices (people outside Finland are also reportedly able to download the app). So go ahead and check it out. Update: I was even able to get it on my Lumia here in Jordan- [...]
Tiki Towers is a great, addictive little puzzle game. You have to build structures (towers/bridges etc) for your monkeys to climb, get the bananas and reach their destination. Your building material at the start is bamboo but you’ll also get coconut and vines. The amount of material you have is limited so create wisely. It [...]
Here’s a little film from Nokia China for the Nokia Lumia 800, starring Nicholas Tse. There is no subtitles on the video but tipper, Z Z, kindly sent us a translation which reminds me of the strange dialogue that also accompanied the N9 promos in China. He says he’s Chinese but his main language [...]
Getting super busy what with exams and such so I missed this video from Monday. Here’s the advert we heard was coming back in March when John Kruk was reported to be advertising the Nokia Lumia 900. http://mynokiablog.com/2012/03/20/john-kruk-recruited-for-nokia-lumia-900-advert-thom-gruhler-as-corporate-vice-president-wp-marketing/ It’s OK I guess. The angle here is the ESPN app, but they also talk about [...]
Somewhat of an odd shooting game I came across. It’s a mix between classic arcade shooting style with some 3D-esque environment. As noted in the review comments, it’s pretty much Space Harrier from the Sega Mega Drive. #182) Gridrunner Girl Price: £0.79 Link: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-GB/apps/19c6d4f1-ee63-e011-81d2-78e7d1fa76f8 Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_JD7mIfzX0 Developer Blurb: classic arcade space shooter action meets [...]
Just a heads up. There’s now 90,000 Apps for WP marketplace. Rafe has the usual breakdown of the details as always: http://allaboutwindowsphone.com/news/item/14819_Windows_Phone_Marketplace_pass.php This makes it a total of (probably?) over 200,000 apps available collectively for all Nokia devices, were we to measure it like that – I mean, Nokia Store is itself a collection of [...]
So this is Flight Control – it’s what the Airport game that I’ve demoed on the N900 and N9 is based from. The gameplay is thus about getting the planes to the right landing tracks. Big planes go on the longer runway, the little one on the little runway. You’ll also notice a H. That’s [...]
This game needs no introduction. It’s PAC-MAN! The game is controlled by a virtual joystick at the bottom. This has all the effects and sounds of classic PAC-MAN (unlike the clone versions). At £3.99 it’s hard to recommend for a bit of Nostalgia. It is still as ever, fun to play. As usual, there’s a [...]
Just a quick point-out a lot of people where asking why the white Nokia phones are Glossy rather than having a Matte finish like the rest of the set (Cyan, Black, Magenta); well the reason can be seen in the photo above- one Redditor posted the above picture of his HTC OneX (which copies the [...]
Here’s a really good video by Michael from PocketNow comparing the Nokia Lumia 900 vs the HTC OneX. This is presented as the two best alternatives to the iPhone. I found the comparison to be very fair. He’s also got an excellent speaking tone, no? Michael says that even though on paper the Lumia [...]
This is one of the most addicting/frustrating running style games out there. It’s called, quite aptly, ‘The Impossible Game’ because that’s what it feels like. If you can calm yourself enough to keep giving it a go, you might be there for a while. Mistakes mean an instant death and restart at the very beginning. [...]
For a whole month, everyday, Aaron took the Nokia Lumia 900 for a spin, sharing what he liked and didn’t like about the Nokia Lumia 900. Here’s the final concluding piece: The Nokia Lumia 900 Challenge is complete, and all things considered, Windows Phone has a champion on their hands. The Lumia 900 has some [...]
I don’t know why but this campaign is irritating me now. Yet it continues under new names in France as a ‘speed test’ and in South Africa as a ‘Lost to Lumia’. Sure. Go ahead. Keep pushing this and ignoring other neat things about WP Lumia, Nokia. Tell me more about the wireless syncing. No [...]
Lightning quick post here since I just discovered that there’s a complete chapter included in my exam tomorrow that I didn’t know about, here’s a video showing off Tango running on the Lumia 710 (coming soon hopefully to all) Current Changelog: Call forwarding – forward your calls to a designated number for (1) all calls (2) when I don’t answer (3) when I [...]
This is an interesting accelerometer based puzzle game. You have a ball and a wire-maze. The ball can travel along this ‘wire’ by moving your Lumia. You must get it to the end point but avoid falling or hitting an obstacle or you’ll restart. Drop It Out is in 3D and you can pinch zoom/rotate. [...]
This post is beyond hilarious, if you take an iPhone 4S (yeah the one that talks) and ask it “What’s the Best Cell Phone Ever” unsurprisingly the answer you’ll get is “Nokia Lumia 900 4G”. I don’t think there’s much more I can add to that (Siri uses wolfram Alpha for it’s answers- which based the best [...]
![Mother’s Day Competition: Win a Pink Lumia 800 [AU only]](http://mynokiablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Searay_PinkSide-300x200.jpg "Mother’s Day Competition: Win a Pink Lumia 800 [AU only]")
Okay guys, got a competition for the Aussie readers. Nokia Australia is putting up a Pink Nokia Lumia 800, for one lucky winner, for Mother’s Day. Sadly, I only got informed of this today, so she won’t have it for Sunday, but I’m sure your mum won’t mind having a delayed present if it is [...]
