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

A Bright Spot For Nokia As Lumia And Other Q4 Mobile Sales “Exceeded Expectations”, With 4.4M Lumias Sold
http://techcrunch.com/2013/01/10/a-bright-spot-for-nokia-as-lumia-and-other-mobile-sales-exceeded-expectations-in-q4/?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=pulsenews
Lumia – 4.4 Million
Symbian – 2.2 Million
Asha – 9.3 milion
Feature Phones – 70 Million
Still Lumia sales is low …Thought it would be 6-8 Million
http://wmpoweruser.com/nokia-announces-4-4-million-lumia-sales-in-q4-2012-finally-exceed-symbian-sales/
Keep in mind that the 2.2 Mil = the smartphone Ashas + Symbian so it’s probably largely skewed by the Ashas success, especially since there’s only one new Symbian phone on the market
There are no Symbian Ashas.. Or you mean something else?
I meant that the higher end of the Asha range are counted as smartphones no? so the 2.2 Mil would equal high end ashas + Symbian?
I don’t think so…

buy a lumia now hurry
Not strictly Nokia related, but one should keep an eye on the competition – BlackBerry Z10 full walkthrough: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRw32eVaTlo . I see more N9 elements in it than I’d want to admit so I guess I’ll keep an eye on what BB has to offer.
Looks pretty cool, almost N9 revisited.
here’s the link to the full story: http://www.telekom-presse.at/Testbericht_BlackBerry_Z10_Teil_1_Hardware_Betriebssystem_und_Bedienung_Video.id.23964.htm
I still prefer Harmattan, tho it could take a couple of hints from this as well. Now if it would only have open and tinkerer-friendly internals, I’d buy it in a heart-beat. Sadly, that’s not the case so it could never replace my N9 and especially my N900 for the things I need – still, I wouldn’t mind using it as a daily driver.
Yep, for your need the N9 and N900 are still top of the bill but I think RIM can make a pretty good comeback with BB10, it looks fresh, cool and new, the qwerty phones looks very nice too and there’s still a huge fanbase waiting for such a phone.
I have to admit I didn’t thought there was still live in RIM and I’m surprised they delivered such good work.

Nice (the low light point could have been made more effectively), focused, and good follow up to the previous ad with the same look and feel.
The price of the white 808 hasn’t dropped in a very long time…

really excited about the lumia 620. serious value for money. In Malaysia people are pretty damn interested with it.
Rogers Canada is adding White, Yellow, Red Lumia 920s; this must mean that the 920 is doing well in Canada as historically Rogers only offers 1 colour, at most 2, and doesn’t add additional colours unless the device does well for them to jump up to 3 additional colours is quite a surprise

808 PureView handles it quite well against Samsung Galaxy Camera…

The first review I have seen with a correct assessment of the difference between the original and updated firmware.
Interesting and promising!
