For those of you who have been keeping away from twitter and the rest of the internet, Apple are announcing their latest version of iOS as we speak. Included in this latest iteration of grid icons is a new multitasking layout, as seen above; remind you of anything? Also is it just me or does that [...]
We got our hands on the quirky little Lumia 520 to test out (gracias Nokia Jordan), so check out our unboxing video & gallery below + some of our first thoughts on the device: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eb0QrxjqtxA And here’s the customary Flickr gallery/Set either in the slideshow below, or the at the Flickr link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/23218958@N05/sets/72157634049089130/ My first [...]

In a blog post today At&t announced that the new upgrade cycle for phones bought on contract will now become 24 months instead of the current 20; adding an extra 4 months of contract lock down. At&t was one of the first carriers to welcome Nokia back to the US with the lumia 900, 920 [...]
Here are some design concepts for WP8 brought over from W8. After hearing about the WP8.1 leaks, seeing various notification styles, mdtauk on TheVerge forums decided to put his own spin onto the WP designs. Note above, like Peter’s concept, the notifications are brought up by opening the task switcher. Though there’s no panel to tap, the [...]
The excitement yesterday over the leaked WP8 new firmware with such things the new notification centre and improved calendar view has been recovered by Microsoft. http://mynokiablog.com/2013/06/08/chinese-lumia-920-ships-with-new-firmware-brings-notifications-daily-calendar-view-close-background-tasks-and-much-more/ The temporary owner of the new WP8-Blue 920 from eBay will be reimbursed AND a new phone. TheVerge’s sources say that what we saw was WP8 Blue. Questions: When [...]
A user on reddit posts that he ordered a Lumia 920 on Ebay, and got a bit extra with it. I believe we might be looking at the first images of GDR2 or possibly even 3 that brings a slew of new features that have been requested by many. Up first is the ability [...]
There’s a microsite over at MS showing the design history, in particular for their mobile devices. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/news/stories/design/ Love it or loathe it, it really has stamped out its own design principles to be consistent and Pure with the ethos they’re going for. Cheers Viipottaja for the tip
Today we got a nice serving of Windows Phone stats, thanks to AdDuplex; up first WP8 devices now outnumber WP7 devices (meaning in less than one year they’ve outsold 3 years of WP7) : #AdDuplexWPStats teaser 4: probably the most important news is that there are now more WP8 devices in use in the world [...]
With the latest series of leaks we’ve learnt a lot more about the upcoming EOS (yet we still don’t have an exact Megapixel count); the latest of these leaks showed off a video of the EOS’s mechanical shutter in action. So I thought I’d take a plunge into the world of imaging and see why [...]
Temple Run Brave, the Pixar/Disney twist on the original Temple Run has just hit the Windows Phone marketplace, and although it’s priced at $.99 unlike the free vanilla version (which pretty much sucks), it’s worth the buy apparently: Okay Temple Run Brave is a fantastic port on WP. Delete the original TR shit on WP [...]
Quick heads up, marketvisio.fi reports that Windows Phone is now the top OS in Finland unless the translation is wrong: http://www.marketvisio.fi/fi/ajankohtaista/uutiset-marketvisio/1703-windows-phone-noussut-suomen-johtavaksi-lypuhelinalustaksi Windows Phone has now passed narrowly two main rival, and lead to new sales of Finnish smartphone platform battle 35% of the market. “Finnish smartphone platforms in the market differs from other markets. most [...]
Not what I expected, I thought it was a sample but you can see the mechanical shutter opening up. Note also that the title says it’s a 40mp sensor though that could still be wrong. vizi leaks
Instagram. The only reason it was craved so much was for the ability to POST pictures to that social network from our Nokia Lumia/WP devices and connect through photos in a way that YouTube might be for videos, twitter for short thoughts and facebook – well, for whatever. It was never really about the filters [...]
In case you didn’t have grasp on exactly how large the hole in the back of the EOS was here’s another leak to help you get your mind around it. This time the pictures appear to be from inside a factory assembly, which means that the phone is probably already in production phase *OMG*. This [...]
Taking a break from all those tasty EOS leaks, here’s a pretty sweet for you folks; the Lumia 920 is showing up on Amazon for $388 UNLOCKED! Which is a pretty sweet deal all things considered.Grab them while they last (in black only) over on Amazon (fulfilled by Amazon too so no worries): Nokia Lumia [...]
The folks over at the Windows Phone Facebook page shared the images above taken with the Lumia 928/iPhone 5/S4; of course the 928 killed it (I assume it was taken without the xenon flash?). I know the Lumia 928 captures some great light images, but is it wrong that I prefer the black sky of [...]
Vizileaks is really making a name for him/her-self; posting a third picture of the EOS, this time against the Blackberry (torch I think?) which looks absolutely dwarfed besides it. In this picture it does appear as if the screen is slightly curved (bottom corners?) but perhaps I’m imagining things? Slim, premium, solid, #somethingsthatcometomindwhenholingthenewnokia #nokia #lumia #EOS [...]
Although upon launch the Lumia 925 was promised to land on T-mobile’s network in the US, some evidence has appeared proving that it might be slotted for an At&t release as well. Of course At&t are no strangers to Nokia, being the first to embrace their return to the United States, with the 900, then [...]
A new contender into the leaking arena “Vizileaks” has just posted an image of a closeup of the Nokia EOS’s camera lens/module. It certainly looks nicer than the previous images we saw, and matches up to them nicely (perhaps a bit too much? Possible Fake?). Either way the image carries the same large round camer [...]
Announced last September alongside the wireless charging enabled Lumia 920 and 820 was an agreement with the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf franchise to place qi chargers in the stores. The first of these seem to have landed in a store in San Francisco as seen above, with hopefully multiple other stores to follow. [...]
