Nokia: charging cellphones using a solar panel is possible but challenging
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIA
The results are in from Nokia's solar charging experiment, and it doesn't look good for those hoping to charge up their cellphones from sun rays in future. The Finnish handset maker has been using prototype solar panels for the past six months, across a variety of countries, to test the viability of sun driven cellphone charging. Nokia's tests involved a customized C1-02 device (dumbphone), and five participants with different lifestyles and local weather conditions.

Nokia Lumia 800 takes off...and lands
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 800
We have seen very creative ways to advertise a smartphone, but in India, Nokia might have started something that we could see spreading around the globe. To promote the Nokia Lumia 800 in India, the manufacturer painted the name and colors of the device on the side of an Indian Airlines Jet Airways plane. Of course, we don't expect too many people to view the ad while the plane is in flight. However, with the trend lately to leave passengers sitting on the tarmac for hours without Air Conditioning, food or a usable bathroom, this captive audience will get to look at the ad while waiting to take off.
Even better for Nokia, they can honestly say that the Nokia Lumia 800 is taking off. And even...

Nokia Ace may get 'halo' status on AT&T, $100m marketing
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAAT&TLumia 900
The Nokia Ace will get top-tier treatment when it arrives on AT&T in March, according to rumors on Tuesday. AT&T would give the phone hero-level treatment, BetaNews heard, both advertising and pushing it at every level. The carrier is considered the main partner for Windows Phone, but until now purportedly wasn't giving Microsoft's OS full attention.

Nokia Lumia 710 for T-Mobile pops up on eBay
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAT-MobileLumia 710
One way to get your hands on the Nokia Lumia 710 for T-Mobile is to sit tight and wait until January 11 when the smartphone is scheduled to be released. The handset will be priced at $50 after rebate should you sign a 2-year service agreement with the carrier. However, if you are not of the patient kind, or if the contract part of the deal you are not too fond of, what might interest you is the T-Mobile Lumia 710, which is currently for sale on eBay.
Currently, the highest bid stands at $355, which is a reasonable price for a mid-range Windows Phone handset. Besides, you don't need to put your signature under 2-year contracts or anything. Judging by the item's description and the attached im...

Nokia begins Belle roll-out; Updates from Feb 2012
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsNOKIA
Nokia has begun shipping updated versions of the N8, C7 and C6-01 with Nokia Belle, aka Symbian Belle with a newly fettled UI, while an upgrade program for existing owners will begin in February 2012. China will be the first to get the updated new phones, the company says, with the rest of the world following suit.
Those who have already bought a Nokia N8, Nokia E7, Nokia E6, Nokia X7, Nokia C6-01, Nokia C7 or Nokia Oro will have a couple of months at least to wait, however. This isn’t likely to go down well with Nokia fans, who saw similar delays in updates when Symbian Anna was released earlier in the year. Several complained that Nokia was prioritizing availability for new owners and leav...

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 800
Nokia has announced that the forthcoming software update for the Lumia 800 that is due to arrive early next year will include a fix for recent battery life issues cited by users. This is the second software update issued for the Lumia 800, with the first one being distributed earlier this month. Users have reported that the Lumia 800 is reporting less battery life than it should be, and Nokia confirms that this is indeed the case. Nokia does note that there is nothing wrong with the battery itself, and the problem can be addressed with a software update. Also coming with the update are more performance enhancements for the Lumia 800. Nokia says the update is on track for an early 2012 releas...

Nokia Lumia 800 may get DLNA support
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 800
It's been done by other manufacturers and it seems likely that Nokia will be doing it too: bringing DLNA support to the Nokia Lumia 800 via an app from the Windows Phone Marketplace. This is still a rumor at this point, and possibly not even a very well sourced rumor, but still one that seems pretty believable.
DLNA is one of the top notch features for electronics these days. It is really just a compatibility standard set forth by the Digital Living Network Alliance, so all of your media-filled devices can play well together on your home network. This means being able to share music or video across your computer, mobile devices, TV and stereo. Luckily, even if a device doesn't come with the...

Nokia Lumia 900 looking like a slim LTE device
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 900
More info has come out about the upcoming Nokia Lumia 900 (formerly the Nokia Ace), which will be the super-sized version of the Lumia 800 for the US market, and it looks like the device will be packing LTE, although as yet it is unclear what networks the phone will run on.
It is assumed that the device will be on AT&T, because AT&T has been the biggest supporter of Windows Phone devices among US carriers, and AT&T needs more flagship devices to push its newly forming LTE network. However, it is also possible that there will be a Verizon variant of the Lumia 900, because Verzion has said that it wanted to see more LTE devices from Windows Phone in order to support the platform. This may be ...

Nokia Lumia 800 also a Vodafone Netherlands best seller
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 800
We know the Nokia Lumia 800 is one of the best sellers on KPN, the largest Dutch network, but MyNokiaBlog reports the same is true at Vodafone Netherlands also, where it shares the lime light with such luminaries as the Samsung Galaxy S 2, HTC Sensation and iPhone 4.
An IDC analyst recently predicted only 380,000 Nokia Lumia 800’s would be sold over the 6 weeks it has been available. Considering the millions of handsets sold each quarter in Europe that seems a pretty low estimate for a best selling handset.

Nokia Lumia 900 and Champagne pop up in dev records, possible Tango build makes appearance
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 900
Nokia's field testers must be avid fans of the Times of India Windows Phone app, because unannounced phones like the Lumia 900 and Champagne are beginning to show up in its stats. This tells us nothing of specs, but here's what we learned: both phones are real, and they're not the same exact device. The app also discovered a new build of Windows Phone called 7.10.8725 in its system, a hint that one of these two handsets -- likely the Champagne -- may be running on the next OS update known as Tango. Does this mean the Champagne is destined for emerging markets? We're hoping to find out in Vegas at CES, just a month from now.

Nokia Lumia 800 is starting to get its very first firmware update
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 800
Following through on a promise made back towards the end of last month, the first firmware update for the Nokia Lumia 800 is starting to roll out as we speak – bringing along some much needed fixes and tweaks to improve the high status Windows Phone.
So far, the update is being pushed out in countries where the handset is made available, and carries along quite a few performance and usability enhancements. However, it’s not clearly known if it directly addresses the handset’s power efficiency, which has plagued some owners with erratic battery life. Instead, the changelog for the firmware update mentions it offering the following:

Nokia Lumia 800 blowing past other Windows Phones, bringing new users to Windows Phone in France
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 800
According to data released by Arnaud Michelet, developer of the France Trafic use of the Nokia Lumia 800 shot up over a 5 week period, overtaking all of the current Windows Phone 7 handsets, both first and second generation.
There is no corresponding dip in the use of current handsets, showing the Lumia 800 is drawing new users to the platform, expanding the installed base by about 1/3 in our quick estimate.
Unless Nokia has been promoting the app, the data clearly shows Nokia’s media blitz is having a good effect. Another data point to add to the many others which show Nokia sales are pretty good after all, despite some misinformed analysts.
