Rumor: AT&T to launch the Nokia Lumia 900 on April 8th?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAAT&TLumia 900
Nokia’s flagship Windows Phone, the Lumia 900, was announced at the Consumer Electronics Show back in January of this year. AT&T said they would offer it, but they failed to mention when it would actually hit store shelves or say how much it’s going to cost. Here we are, two months later, and we still don’t have those details. Earlier rumors suggested it would come out on the 18th of March, which is this coming Sunday, but now there’s word on the street that an April 8th launch date is more likely. This information comes from someone who claims to be an employee at one of AT&T’s retail stores in California.

Nokia granted slide-to-unlock patent as well
Like UnlikeFiled in: NOKIA
Apple and Google aren't the only companies looking to patent and trademark everyone's favorite gesture to unlock a smartphone, as Nokia has recently been granted a patent on its own implementation of slide-to-unlock.
Unlike Apple's patent, which covers a horizontal motion from one side of the screen to another along a pre-defined path, Nokia's patent involves sliding an icon across the screen that will reveal an otherwise hidden app. Slide the icon far enough and the app icon comes into view, and the app will launch once the icon is fully covering it.

Stephen Elop says dual-, quad-core phones just waste battery life
Like UnlikeFiled in: NOKIA
Nokia’s CEO Stephen Elop faces the tough task to break the Android-iOS smartphone duopoly, and if it could be done with words, these would have been the ones: "dual-core, quad-core mobile phones are just a waste of battery, not all are so useful."
The bold statement of Nokia’s head is “proved” by the Smoked by Windows Phone campaign, where random users with iPhones and Androids try to do something with their phones and end up doing it slower than it’s done on Nokia Windows Phones. Nokia offered $160 to people that can beat their Windows Phone devices in the challenge and reportedly it never lost.

Nokia Lumia 900 release date now supposedly set for April 8
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 900
Hope you have those salt shakers nearby as it is time for another dose of rumors. This time, it is the Nokia Lumia 900 release date that is being speculated with. Last time when we heard anything regarding the device's launch was only a day ago when an insider said that the smartphone will be delayed in the U.S. and that it would launch on April 22.
Today, however, we have sources for The Verge claiming that the Nokia Lumia 900 for AT&T will be released on April 8. The tipster presents himself as an assistant manager at an AT&T store somewhere in California. Furthermore, he mentions that a demo unit has already been delivered to the store, and he appears to be very satisfied with it. As far ...

Nokia Lumia 900 sport adventure promo videos appear as release date looms closer
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 900
Nokia has put a lot of hope and effort into the AT&T-bound Lumia 900 - the first high-end Nokia Windows Phone handset to hit American shores with LTE and now we know the release date - April 8th. This coincides with talk about Microsoft Stores getting the handset in the second week of April. The Lumia 900 is expected to come with a tempting price tag of merely $99 on contract.
The Nokia Lumia 900 launch is expected to be big with some promos going on like gift cards for apps offered along with the phone. It’s possible that Microsoft backs it up by in some way bundling the phone with an XBOX 360. Similarly, the Lumia 800 was sold with a free XBOX 360 in the UK.

Sony claims Nokia 808 PureView 41-megapixel sensor is old tech
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSonyNOKIA808 PureView
Sony has called the Nokia 808 PureView phone a "development announcement" rather than a consumer product and claims that its 41-megapixel camera is old technology.
The Japanese manufacturer states that it has used similar pixel zoom technology in its cameras for about a year, but does give Nokia a nod for implementing it inside a mobile phone.

Nokia distributing Lumia 900 to developers, job applicants
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 900
WPCentral reports that developers have started receiving Nokia Lumia 900 handsets in USA. Nokia has earlier said they intend to give away 25,000 handsets to developers, so the company is clearly pretty generous with their hardware.
In fact they are so generous they are even giving away a handset every 30 min to job applicants at their job recruitment day in San Diego on March 15th.
While there is rumours that the handset is delayed, it seems a lucky few will getting their hands-on after all.

Nokia Lumia 610 pours out its insides to the FCC, gets accepted
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 610
The Nokia Lumia 610 hasn't officially found a home in the US, but that doesn't stop it from paying the good 'ol FCC a visit either way. The entry-level Windows Phone sure put on quite the show, too, providing a full set of internal and external pics and a user manual. The device we saw offers 3G connectivity by way of 850 / 1900 radios to allow for AT&T compatibility, which means at the very least you'll be able to import one and get some proper use out of it, even if you don't see the Lumia 610 on a US carrier anytime soon. Take a look below to behold the full visual spread.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIA

New Nokia Lumia 800 firmware "triples" battery life
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 800
Nokia’s first Windows Phone, the Lumia 800, started shipping almost four months ago. A small percentage of those who were the first to pick it up have had some issues with their battery. Either their device was burning through a full charge way too quickly, or worse yet they couldn’t even recharge their phone and had to replace it. In order to rectify the issue Nokia said they would ship two firmware updates, which they did, but some people still experienced issues. Today we’ve just learned that there’s a third firmware update being rolled out in Singapore, version 12070. The folks at WPCentral flashed it on their Lumia 800 and say that battery life “tripled”, but the good news doesn’t stop ...

Nokia's 808 PureView won't come to North America
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIA808 PureView
This doesn't come as a major surprise to us, but Nokia has confirmed that it doesn't plan to bring the 808 PureView to US or any other nearby countries. Buried deep within the device specifications page, there's a note about "global" availabilty — excluding North America. That's just as well, since Nokia stopped selling unlocked devices directly in the US last year, and no US carrier would be wiling to pick up a Symbian phone at this point. That's not even to mention the fact that Nokia confirmed last year that it would not bring any more Symbian phones to the US. Still, this phone's incredibly unique camera design was sure to attract some interest, but those people who want to give it a sho...

Lumia 900 will be $499.99 on Rogers with a Dark Knight surprise
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 900
While those in the U.S. patiently await the Nokia Lumia 900’s debut on AT&T, our neighbors to the north will be able to purchase the Windows Phone handset through Rogers. The question on everybody’s mind is, “How much?”
WPCentral received a picture of Roger’s inventory system revealing the price of the anticipated device. According the photo, it will retail for $499.99. Hopefully signing a 2-year commitment will reduce the consumer’s expense even further. Unfortunately, the release date is not specified in the image, but pre-orders just opened up so, hopefully it will be available really soon.
