Yesterday we complained that the newest member of Nokia’s Windows Phone family, Lumia 610, will have the built-in tethering capability while its older (and better) cousins, Lumia 710 and Lumia 800, won’t. Nokia acknowledged the problem and promised to fix this by releasing a firmware update in the near future. In a FAQ about the…
According to the official specs page of the Nokia Lumia 610, the newest member of Nokia’s Windows Phone family can create a Wi-Fi hotspot from 3G network, supporting up to 5 devices connected to the network. We like that but what we don’t like is the fact that two other (read: better) Nokia Windows Phones,…
Mobile social messaging service textPlus is going beyond iOS and Android powered devices with a brand new app made for Windows Phone. Still in beta, the Windows Phone app too (just like iPhone and Android versions) provides users with a free phone number to start texting their friends on textPlus at no cost worldwide and…
We’ve just learned that Amazon is now offering the special Nokia Lumia 800 Entertainment Bundle for whopping $899. Before you go “WTF, who in the world would pay such an outrageous amount of money for Lumia 800”, here this – it’s not just a phone, you also get few handy accessories as part of the…
Nokia’s flagship Windows Phone, the Lumia 900, was announced at the Consumer Electronics Show back in January of this year.

Sony Ericsson, the company that’s now known as just plain Sony, can’t keep their prototypes from escaping their labs apparently. A device that’s codenamed “Julie” has not only been snuck out of Sony’s offices, but someone was actually dumb enough to put it on eBay. The auction has already been pulled, of course, but it…
We’ve seen a lot of cool stuff at SXSW 2012 but the Nokia Lab domes deserves some extra credit for being extra cool. The company says that it tried to bring a bit of its research lab from Espoo (I’ve been there!) and transport it to the rainy streets of Austin and I think it’s…
South by Southwest is a little bit of a different conference than we normally go to and the booths aren’t as massive as other shows but Microsoft’s was cool enough to show you a quick photo tour. As you would expect, Windows Phone is a major item being showcased and there’s even a few Lumia…

This in turn, will give you results faster, making you spend less of your precious mobile data. Then there’s Voice Search, which removes the need to type…
