Lumia 900 owner vents Windows Phone 8 frustrations, Stephen Elop responds

Lumia 900 owner vents Windows Phone 8 frustrations, Stephen Elop responds

Posted on Jun 21, 2012 by MG1

If you've been following our Windows Phone 8 coverage today, you know that anybody who buys a Windows Phone today will not be able to upgrade to WP8 when it ships this fall. If you were an early adopter that's not such a bad deal, but if you bought a Lumia 900 oh, say, three weeks ago you might be upset -- and rightly so. And rightfully angry is Luke, who sent us an email he fired off to Nokia's Stephen Elop and AT&T's Ralph de la Vega in which he asks why he shouldn't, right now, turn around and return his phone.

Nokia Lumia 900 finally available on O2 Germany

Posted on Jun 20, 2012 by MG1

It has been a very long wait, but the Nokia Lumia 900 has finally become available on O2 Germany, weeks after we first expected it to arrive.
There is of course also no evidence of 32 GB of storage, just the usual 16 GB, with the handset available for 514 Euro contract-free.
With the handset arriving on the eve of the Windows Phone 8 announcement, we can only hope Microsoft has some good news for existing owners.
See the phone at O2 here.

Nokia 808 PureView with 41MP camera is headed for America

Nokia 808 PureView with 41MP camera is headed for America

Posted on Jun 19, 2012 by MG1

The Nokia 808 PureView smartphone is coming to the United States. It’s famous for having a 41MP camera sensor that snaps amazingly high quality photos and is sure to make photographers drool.
Later this week, buyers will be able to pre-order the device on Amazon. It won’t be tied with any carrier or contracts so you’ll have to purchase it at full-retail price. Nokia is pricing the PureView at $699, which won’t be an easy sell. It’s loaded with the Symbian OS and you’ll have to make sure you have a compatible AT&T SIM Card. It works with T-Mobile’s network, too, but only at sluggish 2G speeds.
The camera technology in the 808 PureView, which people have been so excited about, is a 41MP lens t...

Nokia Lumia 610 coming to China Unicom, Elop slips details in conference call

Nokia Lumia 610 coming to China Unicom, Elop slips details in conference call

Posted on Jun 18, 2012 by MG1

Chinese residents not willing to fork out for Nokia's flagship just got another option, the Lumia 610. China Unicom will be offering the littlest (and most recent) Lumia device, according to Stephen Elop, who managed to sneak the announcement into an at-times grim conference call held yesterday. While we knew the device was headed to all places Pacific, the device now looks set to join existing smartphone options on 3G (presumably low-price) plans. Interested? Then you may want to revisit our review for our thoughts on Nokia's humbly-priced handset.

Nokia 808 PureView arrives fashionably late in India, 41MP in tow

Nokia 808 PureView arrives fashionably late in India, 41MP in tow

Posted on Jun 14, 2012 by MG1

After initially announcing it would come in May, and then dropping a countdown red herring, the PureView is finally opening its big 808-eye in India today. The 41MP camera (and phone!) lands with a 33,899 Rupee ($600) MSRP, depending on your barter skills. The PureView might not be a spec heavyweight, with its single-core 1.3GHz chip, 512MB RAM and 360 x 640 display, but we still found it hummed along smartly with its nimble Symbian Belle OS. For those of you who've already set the cash aside, might be time to call that Indian friend.

T-Mobile Nokia Lumia 710 now available on Pre-Paid

T-Mobile Nokia Lumia 710 now available on Pre-Paid

Posted on Jun 11, 2012 by MG1

The Nokia Lumia 710 is now available on Pre-Paid on T-Mobile USA where it costs only $249.99 with $50 refill, bringing the actual cost down only to $199. The handset is also available in store on Bestbuy where it is retailing for $299.
The handset appears to be the best specced from the Pre-Paid devices in the price range, with most offering 3 megapixel cameras, WVGA screens and Android 2.3, and some even running 600 Mhz processors, which we all know is buttery smooth on Android.
Nokia has the logistic scale to be able to compete in the low-end and still make money, so hopefully their handsets will get the recognition they deserve for the great value for money they deliver.

Nokia hints something BIG is coming this weekend, possible Nokia 808 PureView launch?

Nokia hints something BIG is coming this weekend, possible Nokia 808 PureView launch?

Posted on May 31, 2012 by MG3

"Something BIG is coming this weekend. What do you think it is, Nokianatics?" This is what Nokia Philippines enigmatically posted on its Facebook page along with a quartet of seemingly random images. No further teasers, no hints, nothing more. However, it is speculated that the Nokia 808 PureView is behind this mystery.
That is so because the Nokia Lumia 900 has already been released in that part of the world, and the 808 PureView is the only big thing that Nokia has left in its arsenal. Furthermore, the aforementioned four images that accompany Nokia's post suggest that whatever is to be unveiled might have superior photographic skills.

Nokia Pureview 808 available for pre-order on Amazon UK

Nokia Pureview 808 available for pre-order on Amazon UK

Posted on May 31, 2012 by MG3

The Nokia Pureview 808 is an average smartphone with a plethora of ordinary features except for one: it has a 41MP Carl Zeiss lens. Photography enthusiasts can rejoice because it’s now available for pre-order on Amazon UK.
Now hold on just a second. Is this thing really capable of snapping photos with a 41 megapixel resolution? If you look closely at Nokia’s advertising, it says that the Pureview 808 has astounding 41MP “image quality.” This means that the photos it does take have quality comparable to a 41MP photo, but in a nutshell, no it does not take 41MP photos.

Analyst suggest Facebook buy Nokia, make a Windows Phone

Posted on May 30, 2012 by MG3

We have heard that Facebook has a new impetus to develop a mobile platform of its own. Now Paris-based Paul Amsellem, managing director of Mobile Network Group, a mobile marketing company, suggests the company could get into the game most easily by buying Nokia and releasing a Windows Phone.
"Facebook needs somebody with an understanding of networking, technology, carrier relationships and logistics," he said. "They can acquire one of these two players for not a lot of money."

Nokia Lumia 800 beats the Apple iPhone 4 in navigation test for official Nokia video

Nokia Lumia 800 beats the Apple iPhone 4 in navigation test for official Nokia video

Posted on May 30, 2012 by MG3

In an official Nokia video reminiscent of #SmokedByWindowsPhone, a Nokia Lumia 800 goes up against the Apple iPhone 4 in order to see which phone comes up with turn-by-turn directions faster to the London Eye. Using Nokia Drive, the Lumia is able to access the turn-by-turn directions in 15.24 seconds while the iPhone 4 user was still trying to access the information. And of course, this is a lopsided contest as without downloading a third party app, there will be no vocal directions or turn-by-turn navigation for the iPhone 4. With Nokia Drive, the Nokia Lumia 800 gives its user the choice between a male or female voice.
