Tips
Update: This is the new tips page. The old one has been so fortunate with many tips from MNB readers but the page became too bulky and unresponsive. Thank you to all those tippers on that page and apologies for the inconvenience as the tips page had slowed down. Thanks to those who gave us feedback about it.
The older tips are visible at: http://mynokiablog.com/tipsarchive
Got a tip or article suggestion you’d like to share with MNB’s readers?

Emailed tips may be published faster than the comments as that still currently relies of manual checking. We’ll credit the name/username you give us or can leave you anonymous if you wish.

Robert Fleischman’s long term investment recommendation just now on Wealth Track on PBS: Nokia.
Nokia offering free screen replacement for L920s with the dust problem at their care centers.

I don’t know about worldwide availability for this fix , but I’ll try to find out if they offer this in Jordan at least.

Pretty good promo video on Verizon site for the 928.
The longer intro video on youtube is good too:

Nokia earned more than 1 billion from IP royalties from mobile/smartphones, not including NSN OR HERE.
“…..is $1.28 billion which is the exact amount generated by Nokia’s devices and services segment from licensing fees and royalty payments. ………… Nokia expects to pay other companies for using some of their patented technology and it has to spend money on legal costs for fighting to protect its patented technologies. …………… Nokia didn’t report its patent income from Nokia Siemens Networks or its mapping segment called HERE. The figure I mentioned above only includes the company’s mobile phones and smartphones segment.”

“The company says its new capabilities can reduce video stalling by 90 percent while also cutting demand for capacity by 25 percent.”

http://pocketnow.com/2013/05/21/jolla-other-half-phone; The Jolla is a modular phone! You can snap on a hardware qwerty, battery cover, bigger flash cover etc etc. Just imagine the possibilities!
That article just states the possibility of those kind of back covers, not that they are actually available or even planned.
The article also says that Microsoft holds a patent of such a modular device implementation, that might be problematic for Jolla if they are planning such implementations.
Great day for Lumia gamers!
