eeePC! I haven’t heard that name in ages. The netbook king before tablet killed off netbooks. Anyway, check it out here booting WP8.1.  It’s interesting to see both panels (start screen, app menu) on the same screen.  That’s more an artefact. Only the ‘left’ side behaves as you’d expect. The right menu list sort of […]

BBM on Nokia Asha as well as Nokia Lumia and Nokia X

At MWC, Nokia announced BBM would be coming to Nokia Lumia (amongst other apps). Well, Nokia X is a given since that’s Android. But it may be coming to Nokia Asha too. NokConv asked the folks of BBM about getting it on Asha. Normally we wouldn’t see Nokia answering let alone asking about future things […]

More worlds colliding; Here’s Sailfish os on Jolla with the Nokia X Android Store. Although Nokia went with Android, they flooded the handset with their own services as well as that from Microsoft. XDA developers (previously an enthusiast community mainly for the Windows side, hence XDA, are now mainly those tinkering with Android) have the […]

  This is an interesting implementation of the background wallpaper. Unlike what is seen in W8, WP8 has minimal background wallpaper to expose thus if you did have some wallpaper there you wouldn’t see it (unless the tiles were all slightly translucent). Over at TheVerge, Tom Warren confirms the appearance of the ‘background’ wallpaper wherein […]

Finns Love Lumia! 1 million Nokia Lumia in Finland, population 5 million Finns!

| March 1, 2014 | 27 Replies

Considering that there are only 5 million Finnish people in the whole of Finland, it’s quite remarkable to consider that there are now 1 million Nokia Lumia handsets in the country. It shouldn’t be a surprise anymore to see them so frequently on the streets. Finland maybe the home of Nokia, or at least the […]
