Nokia Windows Phones still on track for 2011 launch
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftNOKIAWindows Phone 7
There's not been too much to write about on the Nokia Windows Phone front lately, which is always a worrying sign that a launch delay is inevitable. But Nokia is adamant that it will still be launching its first range of Windows Phones in 2011.
This is according to the official Nokia Twitter account, which promises that we will see some phones in Q4, with the majority of stock coming in early 2012.
"We cannot confirm local availability but the 1st Nokia w/ WP devices will ship in Q4 and with volumes in 2012," explained the tweet.
Nokia Win!
We've been waiting a rather long time for a Nokia Windows Phone to land - the original announcement was back in February.
It wasn't until June, however, ...

Nokia CEO says Google Motorola deal creates uncertainty for Android ecosystem
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAMotorolaGoogle
Nokia CEO Stephen Elop has come out all guns blazing in defence of Nokia's decision to jump aboard the good ship Windows Phone 7, rather than taking the Android path.
Speaking in China, Elop said that the Google / Motorola deal has caused some big waves in the Andoid arena, saying that "it's only with time that we'll fully understand" the deal.
He said that for other manufacturers such as HTC and Samsung, there will no be concerns as to how the deal will affect their Android allegiances.

Symbian getting Microsoft Apps in Q4, Office coming in 2012
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftNOKIA
We have to admit it, Nokia did well in making us believe that Symbian is a burning platform. That’s why we can totally understand some people’s understanding that the phone maker will turn its back on Symbian as soon as the first Windows Phone devices hit the market. But it seems that those statements have fired back hard at Nokia and it’s going to great lengths trying to convince everyone that Symbian is cool again with major updates like Symbian Belle and new devices.

Nokia 801 (or N8-01) makes its first cameo appearance, comes with an edge-to-edge screen
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIA801
The Nokia 801 seems to be the latest leak in Nokia's pipeline. The device could have been called the Nokia N8-01 in Nokia’s previous naming routine, making it the successor to the company’s current flagship, the Nokia N8. And it’s got the stylish looks to prove it with a different form factor focused around an edge-to-edge qHD screen, if we are to link this model with the rumored about N8-01. How did we find out about it? The Nokia 801 video teaser was in the list of promo videos on a Nokia 700 device left over at a booth at IFA. We wouldn't completely rule out the possibility of this being just a concept, possibly to demo NFC, which somehow made it to the Nokia 700, but there are plenty of ...

Nokia exec says Google-Motorola deal won't end Android lawsuits
Like UnlikeFiled in: NOKIAMotorolaGoogle
Android has been hit hard with patents from all sides and when it announced its decision to acquire Motorola Mobility, it almost seemed like that’s the only thing Google could do to protect Android. The move was officially greeted by phone makers like Samsung, LG and HTC, but a Nokia executive said he doubts that the patent portfolio of Motorola would help Android.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAN9

Intel to throw in the towel on MeeGo, another one bites the dust
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsIntelNOKIAMeeGo
After webOS got on the backburner, now MeeGo is receiving a fatal blow with Intel freezing its development efforts citing lack of partner interest. When Nokia announced it will go the Windows Phone way, Intel vouched to keep MeeGo thriving on its own, but the market obviously had other intentions.
Nokia N9, running MeeGo Harmattan, is actually a quite innovative handset, which proves the potential of MeeGo, but in the cutthroat mobile industry there is just very little space for more operating systems. Android, iOS and Windows Phone are the triad that analysts say will take over, with Samsung's bada OS and RIM having their special places as well.
Intel will focus on what it does best, instea...

Nokia's Tero Ojanperä leaving to work on the Vision+ Windows Phone apps project
Like UnlikeFiled in: NOKIA
Nokia's Tero Ojanperä, who had been with the company more than twenty years, is now leaving to work on a new venture fund. The Vision+ Windows Phone apps project is receiving seed money from Nokia to attract developers who will create apps for "Nokia supported platforms, especially for the Windows Phone platform”.
Vision+ will also dabble in some other hip activities like renewable energy, clean water and a mission to Mars (ok, we made the last one up), but the main purpose of its existence seems to be spearheading Windows Phone 3rd party software development for now, which will undoubtedly help Nokia in the longer term.
Tero Ojanperä will step down at the end of September. "The new respons...

Nokia Investigates SQL Injection Attack, Admits Security Breach "Significantly Larger" than Thought
Like UnlikeFiled in: NOKIA
Nokia is cleaning egg off its face after losing developer records to an SQL Injection attack, prompting the mobile phone maker to shutter its developer discussion forum ahead of its Windows Phone 7 launch. Hackers were able to access a database table filled with email addresses and, in some cases, birthdates and other information included in their public profile.
"Initially we believed that only a small number of these forum member records had been accessed, but further investigation has identified that the number is significantly larger," Nokia said in a statement.

Nokia reveals that its Developer Network forum has been hacked
Like UnlikeFiled in: NOKIA
It has been a while now since we talked about a hack that resulted in private data being stolen Nokia has now announced that data on developers of apps for its mobile phones that use the Nokia developer network forum may have had private data on them stolen. Apparently, a hacker or hackers accessed a database that holds the email addresses of forum members.
The good news is that the worst thing likely to happen here is more spam; unlike the consequences of the theft of other data by hackers this year. The developer forums have been shut down temporarily while the investigation of the breach is underway. So far no person or organization has claimed responsibility.

Nokia taking submissions for the name of their US Windows Phone range
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIA
Nokia’s Head of Developer Marketing – North America, has posted a poll asking for suggestions on the name of their US range of Windows Phone 7 handsets.
The names offered seems to suggest a rather tentative challenge at the US market, but they are also taking alternate suggestions. I would personally go with something like Thor, indicating power while still having Northern European roots.
What do your readers think? Vote in the poll at Polldaddy here.

All Nokia devices to have NFC from now on, will play well with others
Like UnlikeFiled in: NOKIA
Nokia's had NFC handsets for a while now, like with the Nokia 6131 NFC in 2007, when the Near Field Communications tech was still an obscure but promising future path that the industry might take for mobile payments and the like.
Now the world's largest handset maker by volume announced at its Hong Kong presentation that all of Nokia's devices will have an NFC chip inside going forward, which will certainly help to spearhead the adoption of this technology, considering it sells about a 100 million smartphones each year.
Nokia's VP Ilari Nurmi also said that the NFC-enabled devices from Nokia will include its speakers, Bluetooth or regular headsets as well, and, together with phones, they wil...

Nokia's Ovi Store now allows pushing wirelessly content to your phone
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIA
Nokia’s Ovi Store for Symbian apps is now powered by Nokia Drop, allowing you to wirelessly push apps, themes, ringtones and wallpapers to your handset. This basically brings a quick and easy way to install content on your device as you don’t have to deal with SMS confirmations or use any external plug-ins.
Turning auto installation of apps means that you won’t even need to confirm that you want to install new software on your phone. To benefit from it, you need to use Internet Explorer, Firefox or Chrome (sorry, Mac users, no Safari support). Nokia Drop is compatible with S60 5th Edition and Symbian^3 devices.
