After Nokia World 2011 closed its doors, and Nokians were dismantling everything, the @Nokia_Connects team took us to record a podcast with @Ew4n from mobileindustryreview, @rafeblandford from allaboutsymbian, and @bensmithuk from wirelessworker. I had the opportunity to contribute to the podcast as the only U.S-based blogger in the panel. I argue that it is...

The guys from Nokia took us Thursday night for a tour on a classic double-decker bus around London. Since I had a Nokia Lumia 800 in my pocket, I thought this scenario would be a great one to test that 8 Megapixel Camera with dual-led flash and Carl-Zeiss optics in the Lumia 800. Keep in mind this is a very tough test; you have a moving bus and almost no...

When someone told me at Nokia World that the Nokia Research center had a flexible Nokia prototype, I thought it was some kind of non-working mockup. To my surprise, the Nokia Research center did have a fully functional prototype of what it seems is the real version of the Nokia Morph concept revealed some years ago. The Nokia Kinetic device is a 5″ slab...

Yesterday I brought you a really short video of the just announced Nokia 800 Lumia. This time Lloyd from Nokia was very kind and demonstrated the Nokia Lumia 800 in depth; the video includes everything from the design, to the camera, the web browser, Nokia Drive, and Nokia Music. He also used my favorite Lumia, the cyan or blue version. The phone is just...

Some of you guys asked to see a video about the Monster’s and Nokia’s Purity HD headset. This headset was recently announced in partnership with Monster, so it’s not an entirely Nokia product, although it definitely has screams Nokia design. Riku from Nokia briefly presented the Purity HD in video,...

I was completely stunned as Nokia unveiled the 800 earlier today at Nokia World 2011; they really thought this one out and the outcome was a very successful product launch. When they started to list the countries in which the 800 Lumia would be available, I was crossing my fingers for the U.S.A to be mentioned somewhere in the list; it didn’t happen, I...

Nokia Lumia 800 or Nokia N9? So similar yet so different. In reality, if the Lumia 800 didn’t have the three Windows Phone buttons, there would be no way to distinguish the Lumia from the N9: they are identical. They even come in the same colors, well, without counting the just announced white Nokia N9. The Lumia, however, has a smaller display at...
