Breaking news, information, and analysis on the latest mobile phones and mobile technology
Gilles Delfassy, the CEO of ST-Ericsson, is going to have a really short work week; Wednesday will be his last day. Didier Lamouche, who has been with STMicroelectronics for about a year now, and before that was the CEO of a French IT company for half a decade, is going to be the new man…
Similar to the problems that some iPhone owners started experiencing after upgrading to iOS 5, users of Nokia’s first Windows Phone, the Lumia 800, are having trouble getting their smartphone to last for more than a few hours. And again, similar to how Apple released iOS 5.0.1 and then admitted that they’ll need to release…
James Faucette, an analyst at Pacific Crest Securities, thought that Nokia would easily sell over 2 million Windows Phones by the end of this year. After doing some sell-through checks however, he revised his estimates down to just 500,000 units. Not exactly the type of news the Finnish handset maker needs right now. Faucette’s latest…
Call me a sucker, but I love “behind the scenes” type content. It’s one thing to read about the guts of a product, another to read someone’s impressions of using said product, but seeing it being put together … that’s just a totally different level.

Nokia prepared an awesome commercial for the N9 in China. The Unfollow ad looks epic, showing us a young woman as she tries to differentiate herself from the rest of the pack: If others choose to endure, then I choose to resist. If others choose to compromise, then I choose to fight. It doesn’t matter…
Several weeks before Nokia held their anual Nokia World event in London last month, we published a piece outlining the devices we thought would be announced. Now forgetting about the feature phones for a second, we absolutely nailed the Lumia 800 and Lumia 710, but there was one device, the Lumia 900, that never appeared.…
At a Nokia developer event that took place earlier this week in Mexico, one of the presenters had a slide up that revealed the next two versions of Symbian and what makes them standout. Similar to how Google names Android versions by using dessert names in alphabetical order (Donut, Eclair, Froyo, etc.), Nokia is using…

He confirmed that his company is currently talking to Nokia about releasing Windows Phone devices in North America, but that he’s got nothing specific to announce.
