Apple’s third generation tablet is set to be announced within a matter of weeks, at least we think it is because March is the month that Apple has used in the past to launch both the first and second generation iPad. For as long we can remember there have been rumors suggesting that it’s going…
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…
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.

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…
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…
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…
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…
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).

HTC Ville smiles for the camera … again [Said to pack a Qualcomm S4 processor inside]
HTC’s Ville is quickly becoming one of the worst kept secrets in the mobile industry. Last week a video surfaced on the internets showing off the unannounced smartphone, and while it was good enough to demonstrate how thin the Ville is, it wasn’t exactly what one would call sharp. Now though, thanks to the Chinese…
