Video: Microsoft experts peg March 18th as the Nokia Lumia 900 launch date
When it comes to news about Microsoft, there’s really only two names I trust: Mary-Jo Foley from All About Microsoft and Paul Thurrott from the SuperSite for Windows. Now Paul’s been doing a weekly podcast with Leo Laporte from the TWiT.tv network for what feels like ages called Windows Weekly, and sometime last year Mary-Jo Foley started making regular guest appearances. The feedback from fans of the heavily Microsoft focused podcast was deafening, and Leo invited Mary-Jo to play a permanent role in the show. With that back history in … Read more

Earlier this week we saw Nokia announce not only their first 4G LTE smartphone, but their first smartphone to launch on America’s largest GSM operator. Yes, we’re talking about the Nokia Lumia 900. It’s pretty much the Lumia 800 that’s already out on the market in Europe and Asia, except is has a larger 4.3 inch screen, front facing camera, and of course 4G LTE connectivity. Now the Lumia isn’t the only Windows Phone that was announced at the Consumer Electronics Show this year with 4G LTE connectivity, the other … Read more

Nokia, Microsoft: The U.S. is a ‘green field’ of opportunity for Windows Phone
When we look back at CES 2012, we will be able to see if this was the critical moment where Nokia and Microsoft started to gain some traction in the U.S. smartphone market with the introduction of the Lumia 900. We sat down with Nokia Senior VP Kevin Shields and Microsoft’s Windows Phone head honcho Joe Belfiore to discuss how Windows Phone can resonate with consumers, why the companies aren’t in a rush to get a quad-core phone out there and the “distinct” relationship between the two companies. It’s not … Read more

Video: Nokia posts their CES press conference on YouTube, edits out AT&T’s CEO
Yesterday afternoon, at 15:00 PST to be precise, Nokia held a press conference to unveil the Lumia 900. Now I didn’t get a chance to watch that event because I’m (thankfully) not at CES this year, busting my ass like the rest of the IntoMobile team to bring you up to minute breaking new coverage. That being said, had Nokia opted to live stream the event there’s a strong I wouldn’t have even bothered staying up till 01:00 Helsinki time just to watch a supersized Lumia 800 being announced. Luckily … Read more

Nokia CEO: We won’t fragment Windows Phone
During the CES 2012 introduction of the Lumia 900, Nokia’s CEO Stephen Elop was touting the fact that the company would have exclusive apps from heavy-hitters on its Lumia line before any other Windows Phone got it. While Nokia needs to stand out from the crowd, Elop clearly stated that the company would never do anything to fragment the platform. As Nokia and Elop have said many times, it’s now a battle of ecosystems between iOS, Android and Windows Phone. While Apple controls most of the aspects of iOS (the … Read more

It was a star-studded event with Stephen Elop, Steve Ballmer and Ralph de la Vega on stage at the same time.

Nokia N9 now available for 349.99 GBP in the UK
Good news for die hard MeeGo fans in the UK – the only commercially available MeeGo smartphone, Nokia N9, is now available for 349.99 GBP through Expansys. That money gets you a 16GB model in magenta, while its black counterpart is 15 GBP more expensive. Now I must add that 350 GBP (about $539) still makes N9 pretty expensive, considering its hardware, which includes a single-core processor clocking at 1GHz, HSPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, 8-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, 3.9-inch WVGA touchscreen, GPS, NFC capability and so on.

Nokia buys “Smarterphone”, makers of a feature phone operating system for sub $75 devices
It’s just been revealed that back in November of last year Nokia purchased a Norwegian software company called “Smarterphone”. The details of the transaction aren’t yet available, and there isn’t even a press release on Nokia’s website. The little information we do have comes from Smarterphone’s website. Egil Kvaleberg, CEO of Smarterphone, says: “Globally, there are 4 billion mobile phone users. Despite all the attention given to high end smartphones, the majority of the 4 billion can not afford such a device. With Smarterphone OS, inexpensive phones can be smart, … Read more
