Nokia Lumia 900 getting its Batman limited edition, too
We’ve already told you about the special Batman edition of Nokia Lumia 800; the Lumia 900 will get the same treatment, with such device soon hitting retailers in few European countries, including the UK, Germany and France. While we don’t know the price and the exact date when you’ll be able to get the new phone, we (think we) know what to expect. Basically, it’s a black Lumia 900 with an engraved Batman logo on the back. Moreover, I would assume the phone’s packaging will also get the Dark Knight … Read more

Nokia World will now take places three weeks earlier than originally planned
Nokia World, an annual event that the Finnish handset maker holds to promote their latest and greatest devices, was supposed to take place between September 25th and September 26th this year. That’s now been changed according to the company’s official corporate blog. The new dates are September 5th and September 6th, and thankfully the venue hasn’t changed, it’s still in Helsinki, Finland. So why move the date? Here’s the email we got: “We have made some changes to the format and date of Nokia World 2012: Instead of a single … Read more

Nokia Italy: Symbian Carla was cancelled, Symbian Belle FP2 to be the last version
Nokia’s 41 megapixel monster, the PureView 808, is going to hit the market at the end of this month. How do you launch a product and get the attention of the press? By holding a party with an open bar! The guys at Nokialino, an Italian Nokia fan site, were at such a party, and besides getting to fondle the 808, they also got some information about the future of Symbian. First, the 808′s predecessor, the Nokia N8, will get updated to Symbian Belle FP1. It’s not going to be … Read more

Thinking about getting the Nokia Lumia 900? Watch this video first!
People give me a lot of shit for saying that Windows Phone, in its current incarnation, is not a smartphone platform I’d recommend to others. In fact, every time I write about a Nokia Lumia device I get pelted with comments from mentally ill fanbois who say things like “you should never write about phones again” or “you’re saying all these bad things because you want Nokia to fail”. So with that in mind, let me present you with a video review of the Lumia 900 done by Steve Litchfield, … Read more

Skype removed from the Windows Phone Marketplace for Lumia 610 owners
Remember when Skype for Windows Phone launched and we told you that the Lumia 610 wouldn’t be able to run it properly because it has just 256 MB of RAM? Hours after we said that, Nokia issued a statement that said we were wrong and that Skype has no problems running on “low-end” Windows Phones. Well guess what, Skype is no longer available for Lumia 610 owners in the Windows Phone Marketplace. Why? Here’s the official statement from Nokia Hong Kong: “Nokia attaches great importance to the launch of products … Read more

Nokia Lumia 900 a top buy from Consumer Reports
When it comes to Windows Phone devices, the Lumia 900 is king. Our own Marin Perez gave the device an overall score of 8 out of 10 when he reviewed the Lumia 900 back in April, and those of us fortunate enough to have gotten our hands on the device came away very impressed. Nokia has managed to impress more than just us with its flagship Lumia Windows Phone device, however. In addition to Siri thinking it’s the best thing since sliced bread, the Lumia 900 has earned a top … Read more

Video: Half a decade in the making, the Nokia 808 PureView
Nokia’s 41 megapixel cameraphone, the 808 PureView, will start shipping later this month in a handful of countries. It’s going to cost well over 600 Euros, which is ridiculous for a Symbian smartphone, but Nokia hopes that once you know a little something about how the camera works that it will be impossible to say no to this thing. The Finnish handset maker recently released a video that’s dedicated to the roughly 400 people who worked on the PureView over the past five years to do just that. They detail … Read more

Nokia Lumia 900 doubles as a hammer
Nokia quality engineers Mike Myers and Chris Ruble took a page from the book of Sonim and created a torture test video with the Lumia 900. After the necessary disclaimer to not try this at home, the pair start by hammering a nail into the Lumia display. If that wasn’t enough make you cringe, then you should check out the next segment in which they use the phone as a hammer. It’s impressive. The video shows the strength of the materials that make up the phone. If you wondering what … Read more

Reuters: Nokia is burning money too fast and they might even default
Nokia had more than 10 billion Euros in their piggy bank in 2007, the year that the iPhone came out. Today that figure stands at less than half that. What’s most troubling is that Nokia lost 2.1 billion Euros during the past five quarters alone. If this rate of erosion continues, then things could get ugly. According to analysts who have spoken to Reuters, Nokia is at risk of running out of money in just two years. On average, the analysts that were polled say that Nokia will burn through … Read more

Nokia sells their New York office for $12 million
Nokia has had an office in White Plains, New York since 2005. Roughly 300 people worked there, and their job was to make the Finnish handset vendor relevant in the United States. They obviously failed to do that, so now the office is being sold to the tune of $12 million. That sounds like a lot, but Nokia invested $30 million into that building to make it look very … Scandinavian. Michael Rao, the guy who helped, Histogenetics, a biotechnology company, buy Nokia’s former offices says: “It’s a great deal … Read more

Apple’s Siri declares iPhone as best phone, Nokia gets pissed
Last week, as you’re probably aware, news vastly spread about how Siri on the iPhone 4S not-so-secretly recommended the Nokia Lumia 900 as the best phone using data from Wolfram Alpha. As of yesterday, it appears Siri has flip flopped worse than presidential candidates at GOP debates and now informs users upon request that the best smartphone is the iPhone. Well Nokia isn’t very happy that Apple modified Siri to its own advantage. Think about it though. A company modifying its own product to its advantage? I, for one, am … Read more
