Nokia Lumia 800 Review

Posted by on Nov 28, 2011

Nokia’s first Windows Phone smartphone is certainly elegant; more of a piece of art rather than technology: a single block of polycarbonate that has been sculptured in a seamless...

Posted by on Jan 25, 2012

Now, this is revolutionary, and probably as good news as the Lumia 900 itself. If true, this could shake the U.S smartphone market and turn everything upside down. BGR got...

Nokia, where’s nanotechnology in your strategy?

Nokia, where’s nanotechnology in your strategy?

Jan 16, 2012

Nokia is a huge Research and Development supporter. Nokia’s own Research Center  has brought much of the mobile technology we love today:  the first phone in 1987, the first GSM call, the first phone with an internal antenna, the first SMS service, the first mobile web browser, the first 3G call, and the first phone with Wi-Fi connectivity in 2007 (NC)....

Nokia Lumia 900 Release Date Revealed by Nokia Developer Newsletter

Jan 13, 2012

This morning I received the Nokia Developer newsletter. I always find something interesting in there, and to my surprise, the latest Nokia Developer newsletter confirms that Lumia 900 will be available this March (You can take a look here). Nokia did not specify the release date for the Lumia 900 at the time of announcement, but some rumors coming from trusted...

Elop: The Rumors are Baseless

Elop: The Rumors are Baseless

Jan 12, 2012

Nokia has said it more than one time: they are not selling their smartphone division to Microsoft. These rumors have rised due to a particular Russian blogger who used to have the insight into Nokia’s plans, reviewing and leaking devices well ahead of announcement. However, Nokia put a stop to this Russian blogger two years ago. Since then, he hasn’t...

ESPN App for Nokia Lumia Review

ESPN App for Nokia Lumia Review

Jan 12, 2012

The ESPN application will come pre-installed with every Nokia Lumia smartphone sold here in the U.S. Nokia has also made a big deal out of it by advertising it heavily and generating a hype about this “exclusive” partnership between ESPN and Nokia. But how good is the app really? Here’s a video review followed by some comments. The app is...

Nokia’s Exclusive ESPN App Available Right Now on Lumia Devices

Jan 11, 2012

Nokia has talked about and advertised their exclusive applications for Nokia Lumia devices since Nokia World. However, they were not immediately available and we had to conform with demos. Well, until now! ESPN and the recently announced exclusive Univision app are both available on Lumia devices under the “Nokia collection” tab at the Microsoft...

Where in the U.S will the Lumia 900 Reach LTE Speeds?

Where in the U.S will the Lumia 900 Reach LTE Speeds?

Jan 11, 2012

Seems like CES spun around LTE announcements and devices. The Nokia Lumia 900 was one of those, in fact, one of the most popular devices announced at CES. The Lumia 900 will be available “in the coming months” featuring LTE to surf the web on AT&T’s brand new 4G LTE Network. But where exactly will the Lumia 900 reach LTE speeds?...

Will the Lumia 900 work in Europe?

Will the Lumia 900 work in Europe?

Jan 11, 2012

The Lumia 900 was announced as an U.S exclusive, something that Nokia had never done before with a high-end smartphone. It’s always been the U.S that had to wait longer for a device, and sometimes not even getting full support for the frequencies that carriers use over here. This time the situation has reversed. Will the Lumia 900 work in Europe? Assuming...

Official: Lumia 900 doesn’t use PenTile Technology

Official: Lumia 900 doesn’t use PenTile Technology

Jan 11, 2012

Some confusion raised about the Nokia Lumia 900′s display after it was introduced: it was not clear if like the Lumia 800, the Lumia 900 used a PenTile AMOLED display. The PenTile display technology shares green sub pixels with other RGB pixels, so you get one-third fewer sub-pixels in total due to the new arrangement. In fact, a 4.3″ screen would...

More Lumia 900 Colors will Follow “Later in the Year”

Jan 10, 2012

The Nokia Lumia 900 will initially come in Black and Cyan, but as usual, Nokia will out more colors “later in the year.” (Remember the white Nokia N9 that was silently introduced at Nokia World?) Nokia Conversations confirmed in their interview with Jamie Langford from Nokia Design that “more [Lumia 900] colors will follow later in the...

Unlocked Nokia Lumia 800 with AT&T Bands Available Next Month in the U.S

Jan 10, 2012

Remember the Nokia Lumia 800 with AT&T bands passing through the FCC last week? Turns out it will be available at the Microsoft Store and other online retailers at the beginning of February. The Lumia 800 won’t show up here with any carrier subsidies, so it will be around $500 USD for the unlocked flavor. The most exciting part though, is that the Lumia...

Watch Stephen Elop Unveil the Lumia 900 at CES

Jan 10, 2012

Yesterday Nokia unveiled the amazing Lumia 900 at CES, unfortunately, for those staying at home, the press conference was not live streamed for all to see. Nokia has now made available in their YouTube channel the full press conference, minus the Q&A session that lasted about 15 minutes: you don’t miss anything though, it’s basically journalists...

Lumia 900 has different USB/MicroSIM Tray Mechanism

Lumia 900 has different USB/MicroSIM Tray Mechanism

Jan 10, 2012

The Nokia Lumia 800 and Nokia N9 are two beautiful smartphones, but the way that their MicroSIM Tray and USB ports are designed is not very convenient. It’s hard to open, and the flap often breaks because it’s not very strong. I personally don’t like it because opening the door every night to charge the device gets annoying, not to mention...

Nokia Lumia 900 Price and Release Date, Some Speculation

Nokia Lumia 900 Price and Release Date, Some Speculation

Jan 10, 2012

For an unknown reason, Nokia did not provide an official release date and price for the recently announced Nokia Lumia 900. Whenever asked, Nokia reps, like robots, kept repeating “in the coming months.” Well, the “coming months” isn’t really telling us anything. It makes me feel uneasy that Nokia did not give at least a quarter in...
