Earlier this week, Wednesday to be precise, Nokia’s first Windows Phone, the Lumia 800, went on sale in England. It’s a device that was leaked as far back as June, and one that’s been eagerly awaited since Nokia’s February 11th announcement where they said they’re going to kill Symbian, throw MeeGo under the bus, and…
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.…
The enterprise market, where BlackBerry has traditionally reigned supreme, is now ruled by the iPhone according to recent reseach. A survey by iPass questioned 2,300 employees across 1,100 businesses around the world, and showed that 32.2% owned a BlackBerry (compared to 34.5% last year), while 45.0% claimed to use an iPhone for work, compared to…
Glenn Lurie (pictured right), Head of AT&T’s Tablet Unit, spoke today at a conference in Barcelona organized by Morgan Stanley.

A few are even free. You won’t be able to pay these prices up front, though. To get the big discount…
ZTE is a Chinese company that’s in the exact same boat Huawei was in just a few short years ago, and that HTC was in going as far back as the late 1990s. All three of these Asian companies make mobile phones, but their first customers weren’t people, they were the corporations we so lovingly…
Samsung Omnia W, which we know as the Korean company’s first Windows Phone Mango smartphone, is now available in the UK. Unlocked, with no strings attached, you can get it from Play.com for 339.99 GBP, which translates into about 398 EUR or $540; and which is more than what Italians will be paying for the…
French website Mon Windows Phone, which translates to My Windows Phone, recently posted snippets from an article in a local newspaper that they failed to name Les Echos. Said article has several quotes from Paul Amsellem, Head of Nokia France, that confirm what many of us have been feeling ever since we saw Nokia unveil…
Microsoft’s next version of Windows Phone is going to be called Tango. Calling it a whole new version isn’t really fair though, because it’s really just a service pack.
