Can the Nokia Lumia 900 reinvent the Nokia brand to what it once was?

Can the Nokia Lumia 900 reinvent the Nokia brand to what it once was?

Posted on Apr 20, 2012 by MG1

We've been Nokia fans for a long time, but it has been a rough few years for the Finnish company. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Nokia dominated the US and global market share. We all remember the Nokia 5100 and 6100 series, one of the company's most popular phones ever. And who could forget the Nokia 8110, featured in the hit film The Matrix?
In 2002, Research In Motion, the maker of BlackBerry, began to get more aggressive with their smartphone marketing, and had the insight to attack the business and government sectors. This strategy paid off for them as RIM began to erode Nokia's stronghold in the industry.

New Nokia 808 PureView promo video filmed with the phone itself

Posted on Apr 20, 2012 by MG1

Nokia has a new promo video for its upcoming 41MP cameraphone, the 808 Pureview, and it says the PR footage was shot entirely with the phone itself.
The video details all photographic capabilities of the monster sensor inside the Nokia 808 PureView, and the photo samples used are once taken with the handset also. The silent lossless zoom, fine details and the rapid focusing speeds are being showcased in preparation for the phone's launch.
It is expected to arrive some time next month, so we can't wait to take it out for a spin, and dream about the times this mindboggling hardware will be stuffed into a Nokia Windows Phone handset heading for Verizon.

Some Nokia Lumia 900 units are having network connection issues

Posted on Apr 10, 2012 by MG1

So, the Nokia Lumia 900 has landed to much fanfare, and many of the AT&T customers who ordered the smartphone in advance should have already received it. However, a percentage of these pre-ordered units appear to be plagued by a glitch that prevents them from connecting to a data network, be it 2G, 3G, or 4G LTE.
The issue is already being discussed on multiple online communities, including the Nokia Support Discussions and XDA-Developers, and a tipster of ours, who claims to be an AT&T employee, has confirmed that the problem is real indeed. "These devices were mass produced in a plant in mexico and there is a defect with the imei's registering to the data network on 2g, 3g and 4g data", sa...

Posted on Apr 10, 2012 by MG1

Its pretty annoying when you pre-order a phone and it arrives after it becomes available in stores. While AT&T buyers did not have this problem, and in fact had their handsets 2 days before general availability Amazon handsets only shipped today, suggesting arrival tomorrow.
Good news for buyers at WalMart, where the handset was also selling at extremely low prices, is that their phones are now also on the way, shipping from Texas. Hopefully they will also show up on your doorstep early tomorrow.

Alleged Nokia poster template reveals Windows Phone 8 branding

Alleged Nokia poster template reveals Windows Phone 8 branding

Posted on Apr 04, 2012 by MG3

Make of that what you will, but a tipster just sent us a picture, which is claimed to be originating from the confines of Nokia, and allegedly is some sort of a non-final poster template.
Whether real or fake we'll let you decide, we don't know what the pro-printing jargon is for such a seemingly transparent plastic poster sheet, if that's it at all, but what we found most interesting in case this has some merits, is the Windows Phone 8 signage.
