Nokia Lumia 910 Surfaces
The Nokia Lumia 910 has recently shown up on the website of Dutch retailer named Typhone and it seems to be a slightly tweaked version of the Nokia Lumia 900 that was demonstrated at CES. Where the Lumia 910 apparently differs from its American Lumia 900 cousin is in the camera and connectivity departments. It seems that for this new Lumia 910 version that 4G LTE support has been dropped and supplemented with a 12MP camera instead of the Lumia 900’s 8MP option.
Nokia Acquires Smarterphone OS
It appears that even that the recent success of the Nokia Windows Phone debut with the Lumia 800 and 710 handsets just isn’t enough for the Finnish giant. Nokia has acquired a new operating system (OS) by the name of Smarterphone, despite seeing reasonable success with the MeeGo OS with the Nokia N9 just a short while ago.
Nokia Lumia 710 Finally Rolling Out
…in Taiwan. The Lumia 710 should start seeing some more widespread releases very soon, most likely starting in the UK and Europe. Though we have heard tell that Singapore, Hong Kong, India and Russia are next on this phone’s agenda. The Lumia 710 is the partner phone of the much talked about Nokia Lumia 800 that was revealed in the UK a short while back. Also running on Windows Phone 7.5 Mango, the Lumia 710 is the more budget option of Nokia’s new Windows Phone line. Its 3.7 inch 480 x 800 LCD display is reminiscent of much of last year’s top-end smartphone market, but at a noticeably reduced cost.
Nokia N9 Review
The Nokia N9 is certainly an interesting device. Not only was it was Nokia’s first and only foray with the Meego operating system (OS), but also ended up being the physical template upon which the Nokia Lumia 800 – Nokia’s first Windows Phone handset – was based. The result is a definitely unique user experience that combines a new OS with a singular approach to manufacturing style.
Nokia Lumia Win Phones Announced
Nokia has finally announced and demonstrated its two first Windows Phone Mango releases: The Nokia Lumia 710 and Nokia Lumia 800. The Lumia 800 appears to be the higher end of the two, sporting a single-score 1.4GHz processor, 3.8 inch AMOLED display with Clear Black support and a convexly curved screen which is supposed to not only add to aesthetic value, but also improve the swiping experience when moving your fingers around the display.
The Mobile World After Aug 2011
The mobile device industry is a fast moving place. With a new device either rumoured or announced every week, constant operating system (OS) updates and giant companies vying for dominance in what is quickly becoming the world’s most profitable business it can sometimes be difficult to sit back and see the big picture.
America Not Getting the Nokia N9
Nokia’s first and final handset to run on the Meego operating system – the Nokia N9 – sparked worldwide interest when it was discovered that, despite low expectations, it was actually a responsive and intuitive device with a range of innovative functionality. Sadly, it will apparently not be coming to America.
Microsoft Does Well, Nokia Not Great
It seems that Microsoft’s new deal with Nokia was a much more needed move by the Finish telco than by the computing giant that brought us the Windows platform. While Microsoft is now boasting record full-year profits, Nokia has experienced “clearly disappointing’ results for Q2 of 2011.
Nokia Drops Prices on Smartphones
Nokia’s been having a tough time of it lately. First there was Stephen Elop’s Burning Platform letter that was leaked to the press. Next was their woefully received Symbian Anna update and more recently the Finnish giant announced that it would be pulling out of the Japanese market completely. Now it seems that Nokia is taking things one step further and slashing the prices of the Nokia N8, the E6 and the C7 by 15% in Europe and possibly other countries.
Nokia N9 Preview
The N9 has spent enough time running through the tech world now for opinions to have finally settled and the almost unanimous verdict is that Nokia has done something right. Although the Meego operating system has been described as a dead platform by more than on tech industry guru, it appears that both Nokia and Meego have managed to come together to create a fluid, interesting and overall useful device.
