Did Nokia really only sell 640,000 Windows Phones in Q4?
Nokia pulled a little trick when reporting their Q4 2011 financial results this afternoon. They said Lumia sales topped 1 million units “to date”. Now what does “to date” mean to you? To me it includes everything until today, which in this case happens to be the 26th of January. Chris Davies, from SlashGear, saw my tweets asking a question about the language Nokia was using, so he did the smart thing and contacted Nokia’s press people to get some clarification. They confirmed that the 1 million “to date” figure … Read more

Nokia Q4 2011 financial results: Over 1 million Lumia Windows Phones sold to date
Nokia has just posted their Q4 2011 financial results and the numbers aren’t exactly what one would call pretty. Regarding sales of the Nokia Lumia lineup, they topped 1 million units, but that number is deceptive since it includes devices sold after the end of the quarter. In other words, 1 million Lumias were moved between the launch in mid November to today. As for smartphone sales in general, they hit 19.6 million units, down 31% compared to the same quarter a year ago, but up 17% from Q3 2011. … Read more

Rumor: Europe to get the Nokia Lumia 910 in May; it’s the Lumia 900, but with a 12 MP camera
Earlier this month at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas we saw Nokia unveil their first “real Windows Phone” for the U.S. market, the Lumia 900. It’s basically the Lumia 800, but with a larger 4.3 inch screen, front facing camera, and AT&T 4G LTE connectivity. Those of us living on the other side of the pond began wondering, would this thing ever be sold in Europe? Yesterday we filed a report that said yes, Carphone Warehouse would sell the Lumia 900 in the UK starting in June, but … Read more

Nokia fined $57,000 for spam texting Aussies
Nokia just got slapped with a $57,000 fine for spam texting Australian customers. The world’s largest maker of mobile phones agreed to the payment after being investigated by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), according to a statement on the government entity’s website. The ACMA is responsible for regulating Australia’s Spam Act, which makes it illegal to send unsolicited commercial electronic messages, including mobile texts. The way this whole thing began was from customer complaints, stating that the Finnish-company sent unwanted “tips” messages that didn’t explain how to unsubscribe from them. … Read more

White Nokia Lumia 800 spotted in firmware update, coming to Switzerland first
Late last month we reported on a rumor that said Nokia was going to introduce two new color variants of the Lumia 800. The French website MonWindowsPhone said that white and yellow will soon join the existing color choices: black, cyan (blue), and magenta (pink). What they failed to say was when those color variants would launch and in which markets. Now thanks to XDA Developer forum member “fshqbizfs”, who was “playing with my app that browses nokia firmwares”, we now know that Nokia plans on brining a white Lumia … Read more

Unconfirmed: Nokia Lumia 900 coming to Europe in June, sans 4G LTE?
Earlier this month at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas we saw Nokia unveil their first high end Windows Phone device for the U.S. market, the Lumia 900. On the surface it’s pretty much exactly what we were expecting it to be, nothing more than a blown up Lumia 800. Under the hood there’s the same 1.4 GHz single core Qualcomm processor, the same 512 MB of RAM, and the same 8 megapixel rear camera. What’s new is the front facing camera, 4.3 inch screen, and support for AT&T’s … Read more

When Nokia first struct its partnership with Microsoft, the plan was to be the dominate provider for the Windows Phone platform. Well, that wish has come true as the Finnish-company is said to have taken up 50 percent market share of second-generation Windows Phone handsets, according to a new report from Occasional Gamer. While this isn’t a full representation of the entire market, this does give us some interesting insight into the usage of Windows Phone handsets in the real world. The company snatched 45 percent of the second generation … Read more

Musician joins in with ringing Nokia phone during performance
Musician Lukáš Kmit was in front of a crowd at an Orthodox Jewish synagogue in Presov, Slovakia playing his viola. In the middle of his performance, a Nokia phone ringer went off and Kmit paused. Rather than berate the embarrassed audience member like the conductor of the New York Philharmonic, Kmit decided to have some fun by playing the ringtone back for his audience. Some believe it was staged because Kmit pauses before the ringer goes off and he plays the ringtone almost flawlessly. I don’t know the behind-the-scenes details, but I do think this happening spontaneously is … Read more
