UK: White Nokia Lumia 800 available for pre-ordering for 429.95 GBP
That sexy lookin’ white Nokia Lumia 800 is now available for pre-ordering in the UK. The retailer offering it is MobileFun, which lists the device for whopping 429.95 GBP, which translates into $681. Now we know Europeans are used to paying more for unlocked devices (when compared to the U.S.), but that’s still a lot for a device that comes with a single-core processor. Yeah, I know it’s not all about the specs, but the built-in hardware does come with a cost. And when you think about it – the … Read more

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

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

Windows 8 Consumer Preview to debut at Mobile World Congress
Microsoft has sent out invites for a Windows 8 Consumer Preview event Feb. 29 and this will take place during the Mobile World Congress trade show, which indicates we may see multiple ARM-based tablets running this operating system. Microsoft introduced Windows 8 in September of last year as a developer preview and this included a redone Metro-style interface which appears to be built from the ground up for touch interfaces. The Consumer Preview should be the only major beta we see of this before it is fully released to the … 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

Leak: LG Miracle, it’s a run of the mill Windows Phone that supposedly has NFC
Thanks to Microsoft’s insistence on controlling the system specifications of smartphones using their Windows Phone operating system, whenever anyone announces a new Windows Phone it’s kind of … well, boring. LG’s Miracle is a perfect example of this. This unannounced device was just leaked by the folks at Pocketnow, who say it has a 4 inch ultra bright LCD that pushes 800 x 480 pixels, has a 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon, 512 MB of RAM, 5 megapixel camera, and here’s where things get weird, they say it also has suport … 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 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

Nokia Lumia 900 pre-orders start at Microsoft
The highly anticipated Nokia Lumia 900 is now available for pre-order at Microsoft retail stores — all fifteen of them! Microsoft confirmed you can pre-order one of these devices for $25. That’s nice, but there’s still no release date or full price tag. Rumor has it the phone will launch on March 18th for a very aggressive $99 with a two-year contract on AT&T, but there’s no official word just yet. Once consumers realized Nokia made a winner in the Lumia 800 overseas, an imminent American counterpart only made sense … Read more
