Breaking news, information, and analysis on the latest mobile phones and mobile technology
These days we all have at least one email account, one Twitter account, we’re also on Facebook, and a myriad of other online services, so wouldn’t it be nice if we could go to just one place on our phone, a universal inbox, to interact with all the flood of notifications we receive? The answer…
Nokia is looking to seriously get back in the game after a few execs announced their departure this year. Stephen Elop, the company’s new CEO, announced the hiring of Jerri DeVard as the company’s new Chief Marketing Officer. DeVard’s job, basically, is to make Nokia a reputable or cool brand again. Right now, we all…
The smartphone market is terribly small compared to the total mobile industry, with roughly 1 out of every 5 handsets sold having some sort of advanced mobile operating system running inside. That figure was provided by Gartner earlier this month; they also said that 33% of those smartphones were using Symbian and 25% used Google’s…
And I thought the Nokia E7 will hit the market (or at least select markets) by the end of this year. That still may be true, but it seems not all retailers (and I guess not all carriers) will get it at the same time. Take Expansys for instance – one would think they will…
Nokia launched two devices today, the C2-01 and the X2-01, and they’re both aimed at the low end of the market. Look away now if you’re the kind of person who blows 600 EUR on a new smartphone every 6 months. The first device pictured above, the C2-01, is what the Finnish firm is calling…

People all over the world are reporting that their Nokia N8 has randomly just stopped working, and that it no longer powers on or even charges according to The Next Web. It started with technology site Hexus, who while in the process of reviewing the N8 said that: “At the start of this week we…
You MeeGo fans out there will be happy to know that the 1.2 version will have minimum requirements of 600 MHz CPU and 512 MB of RAM. This means your new MeeGo device should have some decent horsepower but do these requirements go far enough? If you don’t know, MeeGo is a smartphone operating system…
Nokia announced today that they’ve hit a milestone in their mobile app marketplace, the Ovi Store. Every day, three million downloads are made through the on-device and browser-based channel. Just to put that figure into perspective, GetJar hit that number over the summer, though they sell across a bunch of platforms. The Ovi Store hit…
Nokia’s N8, regardless of what you think about the Symbian^3 operating system, is hands down the best camera phone money can buy. With a 12 megapixel sensor that’s larger than many of the sensors found in today’s point and shoot cameras, plus the ability to capture 720p video, if you’re an avid mobile photographer then…
