One more test with Steve Litchfield, this time for AAWP, testing the video of the Nokia Lumia 1020 on its own. I haven’t played around with the 1020 long enough, I’m interested in how that manual focus in video works (and if it is manual, can you ‘pull focus’) http://allaboutwindowsphone.com/reviews/item/18083_Nokia_Lumia_1020_camera-video_.php This is going to sound […]

#ThrowbackThursday – My first Nokia was a _____

This was just shared by Nokia’s Facebook page. It’s a topic that crops up here every now and again but I’m always surprised by the answer, some by how early their Nokia phones were, and others, how extremely recent.

Reports from IDC show that Windows Phone’s shipments have increased 77.6% since last year. TheVerge notes that whilst WP’s lead over BlackBerry isn’t huge, WP and BB are clearly going in “different directions”, with WP on the incline.

Amazing Lumia 1020 PureView Promo

Here’s another amazing promo video showing off the technical side of the Lumia 1020’s camera, it’s interesting to watch as someone who knows what the 1020 is all about and how it works; but I don’t think it would be *too* effective to the common folk. Unless of course some sort of on screen text […]
