Nokia admits that they don’t have a “Plan B”, if Windows Phone fails then so shall they
Victor Saeijs (pictured above, center), Senior Vice President at Nokia Europe, told Swedish newspaper Dagens Industri that Nokia doesn’t have a backup plan should their marriage with Microsoft fall to produce any meaningful results. His exact quote: “Plan B is for Plan A is to succeed.” Victor goes on to say that the recently launched Lumia 800 is the second best selling smartphone in Denmark, and the third best selling smartphone in Sweden, but even he admits that “we must succeed in the U.S. if we are to succeed in … Read more

Outrageous: T-Mobile USA will not upgrade the Nokia Astound (rebranded C7) to Symbian Belle
Back in September 2010 Nokia announced a Symbian^3 smartphone called the C7. It can best be thought of as a Nokia N8, but without the fancy high end camera, and in a body that’s much more fashionable. Half a year later (April 2011) it hit American shores courtesy of T-Mobile for just $80 with a two year contract; they rebranded it as the Nokia Astound (see video below). When Nokia started pushing out Symbian Anna, an update to Symbian^3, many people rightly assumed that the Astound would also get the … Read more

Concept design shows us what a Nokia Lumia tablet could be
Some enthusiastic Nokia fan out there put together a pretty incredible concept design of what a Lumia tablet would look like. The mock-up incorporates elements from both the Lumia 800 and N8, as the camera isn’t in the middle but in the top left corner which is a unique place to put a camera on a slate. If you think about it, maybe all tablet cameras should be in the left corner, as it wouldn’t just use video playback for portrait mode only. What you also see in the concept … Read more

Microsoft to bring the Nokia Lumia 800 to the US for $900 this Valentine’s Day
Nokia’s Lumia 800, which was announced in late October of last year, then hit the market a few weeks later in mid November, is finally coming to the United States. It’ll be available from Microsoft’s retail stores starting next Tuesday, otherwise known as Valentine’s Day, for $900. Now that price tag might seem a bit absurd, but you get a lot more than just the phone. You also get a Nokia Play 360 speaker, Purity HD stereo headset (read: Monster Headphones), and an unnamed Bluetooth headset. To give you an … Read more

Nokia 803 to land in May, said to pack the largest camera sensor the mobile world has ever seen
Rumor has it that Nokia is going to announce just one more Symbian device before finally kicking the platform to the curb. That device is said to be the long awaited successor to the Nokia N8, which launched in October 2010 with a 12 megapixel camera and Xenon flash. During the 15 months that thing has been on the market, nothing has come close to touching it in terms of image quality. Samsung’s Galaxy S II, Apple’s iPhone 4S, they both have fantastic cameras, but they don’t hold a candle … Read more

Mobile devices now responsible for 8.5% of all web traffic, Nokia phones dominate
One could argue that you don’t need a personal computer to function in today’s world. You can do pretty much everything anyone would ever want to do on the internet with just a mobile phone. That was Nokia’s message back in 2007 when they launched the N95 and told people to refer to it as a “multimedia computer” instead of a smartphone. Now back in 2007 that message was a little hard to swallow, even with the release of the iPhone during the summer. Technology being what it is though, … Read more

End of an Era: Nokia to stop making phones in Finland, factories to be moved to China
Half a decade ago when I first started covering Nokia’s every single move, there were debates in many online forums about whether or not someone’s new Nokia smartphone was better just because it was “Made in Finland” instead of “Made by Nokia”. The former signaled to people that what they were using was not only designed and developed in Finland, but also made in the same country where standards were assumed to be higher. Devices in the latter category were shunned by Nokia enthusiasts for illogical reasons. Today the Finnish … Read more

Nokia starts rolling out Symbian Belle, Mac users left out in the cold
Yesterday evening Nokia announced that users of Symbian Anna devices can now update to the newest version of the operating system, Symbian Nokia Belle (see video below). Seeing as how I got my girlfriend a pink Nokia N8 for her birthday last autumn, I told her to rush over to my place with her smartphone and a microUSB cable so we could begin the update process. It’s not that I didn’t trust her to do it herself, I just wanted to see first hand what Nokia Belle looks like on … Read more

Microsoft stores supposedly taking pre-orders for the white Nokia Lumia 900
We don’t have an official launch date for the Nokia Lumia 900, but that hasn’t stopped Microsoft from accepting pre-orders for the Windows Phone handset. According to recent reports from SlashGear and wmpoweruser, it’ll cost you $25 to secure yourself a Lumia 900, which is available in black, cyan and, surprisingly, white. The original press release for the 900 says the handset will be available in cyan and black only. Though Nokia announced the white Lumia 800, there’s been no mention of a white Lumia 900 until now. Regardless of color, the Lumia 900 is a gem of a phone. It has a … Read more

Nokia 801: Are they seriously going to release a Symbian device that looks like the Lumia 800?
It’s bad enough that the Nokia Lumia 800 looks exactly like the Nokia N9, now rumors suggest that Nokia is going to release a Symbian running device called the Nokia 801. Said smartphone is a picture perfect image of the N9 and Lumia 800, except that it has a 4 inch screen that does 640 x 360 pixels, 12 megapixel camera, and will be the first Symbian device that can record 1080p video. Under the hood there’s a 1.4 GHz processor paired up with 512 MB of RAM, though we … Read more

Nokia unveils the white Lumia 800
Nokia used its Conversations blog to unveil the new white Lumia 800. Under the hood, the handset is identical to the cyan, magenta and black version which launched late last year. On the surface, you will get a snowy white casing that nicely accents the curved black display. According to Nokia, this isn’t some cheap spray-on job either. Instead, the phone’s unibody polycarbonate shell is dyed all the way through. Judging from the images release by Nokia, those who prefer blanc to black will be wowed by this handset. Nokia didn’t … Read more
