Nokia 808 Pureview bound for US
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIA808 PureView
Nokia's powerful cameraphone, the 808 PureView, launched this month in countries around the world - but not the U.S.
In fact, Nokia previously stated that they had no plans to bring the Symbian-run 808 Pureview (or any other non-Windows Phone smartphones) stateside in the future.
So it comes as a pleasant surprise that Nokia's U.S. president, Chris Weber, said that the company is trying to "figure out a way" to bring the Pureview to North American shelves.
Weber said that the phone won't be picked up by any specific U.S. carrier, but that it will be AT&T-compatible.

Phones4u has an exclusive on the phone until May 27th, and will be offering both black and white versions. Not only that, but the Lumia 900 will reportedly come with the latest version of Windows Phone which includes some Tango features.

Nokia 808 PureView coming to the US, but don’t ask for carrier subsidy
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIA808 PureView
The 41-megapixel Nokia 808 PureView is a device we can imagine people interested in mobile photography would be eager to get, and after Nokia disappointed us by officially stating in the product page that the phone won’t arrive to the US, now it’s backtracked a bit. The 808 PureView will come to the United States, but it won’t be subsidized by carriers. Rather, it will ship unlocked.
“We’ll figure out a way to make that available in the U.S. in the next couple of months,” Nokia US President Chris Weber said.
That’s already reassuring and nice, but we’re pretty certain that even without Nokia’s help unlocked 808 PureViews would have arrived on interested retailers.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungAppleNOKIAGalaxy SiPhone 4Lumia 900
Nokia's Lumia 900 is the best smartphone in the world — in one important usability aspect, anyhow. The DisplayMate labs have been busy collating viewability data on mobile device displays and the results rank the Lumia 900 as the best performer. In particular, the DisplayMate tests were concerned with how devices handle increases in ambient light, a regularly-occurring challenge for anyone wanting to use a phone or a tablet while actually on the move.

Nokia Lumia 610 now on sale in China, unboxed
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 610
The Nokia Lumia 610 is now on sale in China, and is available for 1,699 Chinese Yuan ($269 USD).
WPDang was one of the first customers and posted some unboxing pictures.
They report the 800 Mhz handset is as smooth and fast as all other Windows Phones, and the phone, which is available in black and white, is polished and “very beautiful”.
One interesting point to note is that the packaging is branded Nokia 610 rather than Nokia Lumia 610, similar to the Nokia 800 and 800c in China.

Nokia Lumia 710 coming to WIND Mobile tomorrow, priced to sell
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 710
The long wait is coming to an end soon, with Canada’s WIND Mobile unleashing the Nokia Lumia 710 tomorrow, offering the handset for free on 3 year WINDtab with WIND40 monthly plan (surely still a bad deal) or $99 on the WINDtab with the WIND25 monthly plan or finally $259 outright, which seems a low price to pay for freedom from being locked in for an eternity.

Minor Firmware Update for Nokia Lumia 800 not yet rolled out to end users; repairs audio volume bug
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 800
Nokia has created a minor firmware update for the Nokia Lumia 800. The only problem is that the update, 12072, has not yet been rolled out globally by the Finnish based manufacturer. The update repairs an audio volume bug that came about after the previous update, 12070, fixed a Power Management Issue. Software version 12072 also includes a new camera app with updated camera settings. The audio volume bug is said to make playing video games difficult while at the same time it messes up the ringtone on your Nokia Lumia 800. The bug makes your phone ring super loud, even from the first second that a call hits your device.

Nokia Lumia 900 $100 credit now being delivered
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 900
When Nokia discovered the problem with the LTE feature of Windows Phone 7 they handled the situation pretty well, delivering the fix in less than a week, and also offering buyers who purchased the handset before the 21st April a generous $100 credit towards their mobile phone bill.
In practice this means at least 1-2 months of free service on the carrier, and buyers are now reporting that the credit is being applied to their accounts.
While the bug was of course regrettable, it may very well have been the best PR a few million dollars could buy.

The Lumia 900 Is Getting Even Crazier Looking!

You thought cyan Lumia was rad, man? You haven't seen anything. Cyan is pretty much just bright blue, let's be honest. Blue. Blue is for babies. Blue is for muppets. How about a pink so scorching, people will scream? In pain?

Nokia: No delay for Lumia 900
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 900
Nokia has denied reports that it has had to push back the UK arrival of its Lumia 900. The manufacturer says the Windows Phone device remains on schedule and has told Pocket-lint that customers will be able to buy the phone in store “very soon”.
Nokia went on to add that the Lumia 900 was always down for a Q2 arrival and that the issue lay with dealers giving out pre-order dates online.
Phones 4u had originally said that they would be selling the phone from 27 April, but it would appear it jumped the gun, with its site still taking pre-orders for the handset.

Despite remaining mum on how many Lumia 900s it's moved in the US, Nokia has been raving about how it's trying to keep up with demand for the flagship Windows Phone device. Consider us unsurprised, then, that the company has apparently delayed the phone's previous April 27th release date in the UK to "around May 14th," citing a need to keep the device stocked in the States. The news comes from V3.co.uk, which got the information from a Nokia spokesperson referring specifically to retailer Phones 4u. Hit up the links below if you'd like to catch the full spiel, and why not check out our review of a second time to solidify your decision while you wait.

Lumia 900 data connectivity fix finally available to Rogers customers
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 900
When the Lumia 900 data connectivity fix was released to AT&T customers a full 3 days early, it was presumed that Rogers customers would have access to the fix at the same time. Unfortunately, they were informed that they would have to wait until “around April 20th” to get the update.
It looks like that update is finally available to our friends to the north, albeit a little late. Rogers customers can download and install the update through the Zune software on Windows or the Windows Phone 7 Connector app on OS X.

Nokia Windows Phone 8 handsets showing up on T-Mobile, Verizon
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsMicrosoftNOKIAVerizon WirelessT-MobileWindows 8
Moving away from the hubbub about Windows Phone 8 upgrades, we now also have increasing evidence of actual new Windows Phone 8 hardware being tested in the wild.
The latest is via DSLReport’s mobile speed test, which shows the user agent of two Windows Phone 8 handsets, one named Qualcomm Fluid and the other Nokia Fluid. Both of course have been spotted before, but now the full user agent confirms that these are Windows Phone 8 handsets running IE10.
The Verizon handset also seems pretty snappy, likely indicating LTE on board. The same can unfortunately not be said for the T-Mobile speed test.
