Analyst suggest Facebook buy Nokia, make a Windows Phone
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsMicrosoftNOKIAWindows Phone 7
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 not worried about LG’s Windows Phone departure
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsLGMicrosoftNOKIAWindows Phone 7
Speaking to FierceWireless here, Chris Weber, Nokia’s president for the Americas, said he was not concerned with LG dropping out of the Windows Phone game to focus on Android, saying they were not a major player, and their exit will not have a significant impact.
"I see significant commitment from HTC, Samsung," Weber said. "I actually see increased momentum and commitment form a various set of OEMs on the platform."
He cited the recent announcement of the Samsung Focus 2 as an example of such commitment, saying the $50 handset would benefit the whole ecosystem.

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.

Nokia announces 2 million Windows Phone sales in Q1 2012
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftNOKIAWindows Phone 7
Nokia is going to announce their Q1 2012 financial results on April 19th, today though they issued a press release that gives investors and analysts a hint of what sort of numbers they should be expecting. Here are the important figures: 83 million mobile phones were sold during the quarter, of which 71 million were feature phones and 12 million were smartphones. Of those 12 million smartphones, 2 million of them were Windows Phones. Just yesterday we predicted Nokia would sell 2.2 million Windows Phones, so we’re proud to say we were ridiculously close. As for profits … there simply aren’t any. Nokia says their operating margin in Q1 was negative 3%. The bad news doesn’t stop there, the Fin...

Alleged Nokia poster template reveals Windows Phone 8 branding
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsMicrosoftNOKIA
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.

Nokia Lumia 900 on AT&T to support Visual Voicemail, but other Windows Phone users may not get it
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsMicrosoftNOKIAAT&TWindows Phone 7Lumia 900
As we fully expected, the comments on our recent post about AT&T's apparent decision to not push out the lastest bugfix version of Windows Phone, 8107, have expressed a good deal of unhappiness. However, one comment in particular caught our eye, from scrapplejoe, which points out a thread at neogaf suggesting Visual Voicemail is present on the Lumia 900. In fact, there's an even deeper backstory involving a method of forced updating and clever data plan switching first discovered at xda-developers, with which it's possible to get Visual Voicemail working on a Nokia Lumia 800, Focus Flash, or even other devices on AT&T. The trick primarily requires two things: enabling a 4G LTE plan on AT&T (...

Microsoft’s market share in the United States may have been slipping as of late, but what about in the UK? According to market research firm Kantar Worldpanel, Microsoft and Nokia’s gambit may be paying off: Windows Phone 7 has outsold Symbian handsets for the first time, and the Nokia Lumia 800 is proving popular across Europe too.
According to the research, 2.5% of UK consumers bought a Windows Phone handset compared to 2.4% for Symbian over a three month period that ended on February 19th. Not only that, but the Nokia Lumia 800 accounted for 87% of all Windows Phone sales in Europe. Windows Phone apparently does best in Germany, with it accounting for 3.1% of the market.

Nokia grabs well-known webOS, Java developer from Palm
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsHPNOKIAPalmwebOS 3.0
Nokia for the past year or so has been on a crusade to dig the company out of irrelevancy in today’s super competitive mobile business. The Finnish-based phone maker teamed up with Microsoft to jazz things up on the operating system, shifting attention slightly away from its own OS Symbian. Now the company has its sights set on acquiring some talent on the development side.
On his blog this morning, Josh Marinacci, a developer/designer for Palm, announced that he would be leaving the troubled company after two years of service. He went on to explain himself as to why he came to the decision to leave, saying:

Nokia is the largest Windows Phone maker in the world, after one quarter
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftNOKIAWindows Phone 7Windows Phone 7.5
While we can't really say that we're surprised, Nokia has snagged the top spot for Windows Phone devices. Strategy Analytics reports that the Finnish smartphone maker now sits atop the global charts for the Microsoft mobile OS after being in the game for just one quarter. Nokia overtook HTC and Samsung to claim a 33% market share with 0.9 million out of the 2.7 million units shipped in Q4. Aided by the Lumia family's expansion to several new territories and the 36% growth of the platform overall for the quarter, the company has taken "an encouraging baby step forward."
