Rolling with the Nokia Lumia 800
Ari Partinen, our resident expert photographer, has taken the Nokia Lumia 800 on a special photo tour, and brings us not only his snaps, but his thoughts on the camera too.
Hello my fellow imaging enthusiasts and mobile snappers. It’s been a while since my latest post and lots has happened since. 'The biggest thing in my Nokia life, naturally, was the announcement of the new Nokia with windows phone, Lumia 800.' Despite my undeniable love of the Nokia N8 I decided to leave it in my drawer when I flew off to Asia a few weeks ago. Instead I packed a fresh out of the box Lumia 800 with me in order to test it in the field and of course to share my highly unscientific test results with you guys. [...]

Thinner glass could lead to slimmer phones
Just when you thought the mighty Gorilla Glass couldn’t get any better, it has.

The (Nokia) Belle of the Ball
I’m looking at Nokia Belle today, and what better way to have a look at an OS than to take a look at some of the phones it is available on?
Samir Makwana has been taking a look at the phone for The Mobile Indian. I'll skip to the page on which he discusses the interface (page 3, for reference) and where he states that Nokia Belle: delivers a fresh user experience with intuitive navigation and edge-less icons He discusses the aesthetics of how screens look with Belle, and mentions the 'spiffy' multi-tasking menu. More importantly, he talks about how: [for] Nokia loyalists who would be jumping from Symbian S60v3 or S60v5, this experience would be really welcoming. [...]
First thoughts: Nokia Lumia 900
The biggest announcement at CES this week was that of the Lumia 900, the latest Nokia phone to join the upper echelons of our portfolio.
Like the announcement itself the phone is big, bold and said to be setting a new standard. We caught up with a couple of guys in Las Vegas to find out their first impressions and gain an insight of what this phone will mean to mobile users in the US. Here we join Juan Carlos from YourTechReport and Richard Campbell, the man behind .NET Rocks! If you happened to be hiding under a rock whilst the tech juggernaut of CES passed by, you can fill your boots with the full details of the Lumia 900 that we covered earlier in the week. [...]
