Unlocked version of the Nokia Lumia 800 lands on Amazon for $649.99

Posted on Dec 07, 2011 by MG1

Are you still waiting around to pick up the highly regarded Nokia Lumia 800, but don’t feel like importing the Windows Phone Mango device? Well, you can now purchase one directly from Amazon – though, it’s still from a third-party seller.
In any event, the listing is for an unlocked version of the Nokia Lumia 800, which means you can pop in your SIM and start using it right away. Naturally, AT&T customers should take notice of this one seeing that the handset is compatible to work with the carrier’s HSPA network. Meanwhile, T-Mobile customers can still opt to use the handset with the carrier, but considering that it doesn’t support Tmo’s 1700MHz band, you’ll be surfing the web on EDGE speeds...

Filed in: Cell PhonesNOKIAN9

Most people who either already picked up the N9 or are seriously considering buying it this holiday shopping season know full well that it’s the first, last, and only device that the Finnish handset maker will release running MeeGo/Maemo/Harmattan. That means developers don’t really want to support it since there’s no future in the ecosystem, not to mention the fact that Nokia refused the launch N9 in some of the world’s largest markets, instead opting to release it in a limited number of smaller countries. Now that being said, Nokia’s got a track record of keeping their devices up to date. If you’re lucky enough to own a Symbian^3 device then you’ve already experienced the upgrade to Symbia...

Nokia planning two Lumia 800 software updates to address battery issues

Posted on Nov 24, 2011 by MG1

The Lumia 800, much like the Galaxy Nexus, has had a bit of a bumpy ride in its first few days on sale.

Nokia Lumia 800 hits UK stores, preorder demand leaves Orange UK glowing

Posted on Nov 17, 2011 by MG1

As Nokia's first Windows Phone lights up shop fronts across Britain, Orange has informed us that the Lumia 800 has attracted the most attention it's ever seen for a Nokia device. Based on preorders, the smartphone has trumped both the critically acclaimed N95 and the 5800, while we're sure the gratis Xbox 360 for upgraders hasn't hurt demand -- 50 percent of those looking to pick up the polycarbonate phone are already Orange customers. The carrier has told us that an Xbox-based offer for new customers looking to pick up the Nokia-coated Windows Phone is also in the pipeline -- something for UK network hoppers to get excited about.

Nokia N9 for sale in the USA, will cost you $690

Posted on Nov 08, 2011 by MG1

Filed in: Cell PhonesNOKIAN9

The Nokia N9, one of the most controversial devices to ever come out of Finland, is now available in the United States. You can order it for $690 from Expansys, an online retailer we thoroughly recommend for those of you who want to get your hands on the latest handsets coming out in Europe and Asia. Before you do however, realize that it’s going to be the one and only device to run MeeGo, it’s not going to get that much official support since it’s shipped in limited quantities, but on the bright side it supports both AT&T’s and T-Mobile’s 3G networks. Now while we didn’t review the N9, the folks at Engadget and The Verge did and both sites have absolutely fallen in love with it. Myriam Joir...

Posted on Nov 04, 2011 by MG1

The release date of the Nokia Lumia 800 in UK was never in question, with the date emblazoned all over the ads.

The Phone House was able to confirm the delivery date as the 16th November, the same date as UK, and presumably the other 3 countries involved in the launch party also.
The handset has so far scored well with out readers, and has benefitted from an unprecedented marketing campaign, which will hopefully also translate into strong sales.

Goodbye Nokia 600, we hardly knew ye

Goodbye Nokia 600, we hardly knew ye

Posted on Nov 03, 2011 by MG1

Symbian just scored another blow. The Belle-installed Nokia 600 was announced in late August, destined to be a great music-centric phone for anyone trying to stay on a budget. Sadly, it appears its fate has been sealed before its release, as the company's taken down any pages on its websites that are related to the product. Then, if that weren't enough confirmation, it also broke the news of the handset's demise to a disappointed Facebook fan. We haven't been given a reason for the sudden decision to cease and desist, but we're not discounting the coincidence of this happening so shortly after the Lumia series was revealed.

Lumia 800 to hit the UK on November 16th, Nokia confirms

Posted on Nov 02, 2011 by MG1

We knew that the Lumia 800 would be making its way to the UK sometime in November, but today, that timeline has become slightly more specific. We've just received confirmation that Nokia's "first real Windows Phone" will indeed be available within the UK on November 16th, just a day before Samsung unleashes its Galaxy Nexus handset to British users. Last month, the company confirmed that the device would be priced at €420, though there's no word yet on what that price tag may look like in sterling. As always, we'll let you know as soon as we hear more.

Nokia's strategy for America: Target people new to smartphones

Posted on Oct 31, 2011 by MG1

Last week Nokia held their annual Nokia World event in London where they announced 6 new handsets. The last 2 to be unveiled, the Nokia Lumia 710 and the Nokia Lumia 800, were the ones that the entire mobile industry have been eager to see ever since the Finnish mobile phone manufacturer decreed back in February of this year that they’re going to dump Symbian and switch to Windows Phone. To no one’s surprise, Western European countries are going to be the first to get these two devices, while the United States will have to wait until 2012, though no specific details were given. The folks at This is my next spotted a few Verizon Wireless employees at the event, which makes it rather obvious t...

Posted on Oct 28, 2011 by MG1

Filed in: Cell PhonesNOKIAN9

Nokia is currently holding their annual Nokia World event in London right now, and while the important announcements were seen yesterday, things like 4 feature phones and 2 smartphones, both the first Nokias to run Microsoft’s Windows Phone operating system, today the Finnish handset maker has surprised us by talking about the N9. Currently the N9 comes in black, blue, and pink, but later this year there will be a new choice: white. It may seem insignificant, especially since Nokia isn’t launching the N9 in very many countries, but Frank Zillikens, who heads up the product marketing for Nokia N9, says: “The manufacturing process for beautiful white products is quite complex and we wanted to ...
