Here are a few of the highlights with links to the Nokia site covering each of the items: Nokia advances on its new strategic direction, rolls out range of new mobile devices and services Nokia has extended the range of products with Windows [...]

I Paid Just Over $1800 for My New Car!!! Really!
You read the title right and I meant it. I paid just over $1800 for my new car last November. At least that is the case if you price it out using the “Walt Mossberg Method of Valuation”.
Nokia Gobbles Up Nearly Half of ’2nd Gen’ Windows Phone Market Share!
Over the last week or so we have seen evidence that Windows Phone sales might be picking up … and in no small part thanks to Nokia! Sales of the Lumia 800 and 710 were reported at ~1.3 million for 2011 in spite of only having the phones for part of the fourth quarter. But [...]
Nokia Introduces the AT&T 4G Lumia 900 to the United States
This afternoon I attended a standing room only event in the impossibly small Ballroom A at the Venetian. The purpose was to hear about Nokia’s latest announcement for North America, and what I was hoping for specifically was news that the Lumia 900 (the North American version of the Euro Lumia 800) would soon be [...]
T-Mobile Nokia Lumia 710 Windows Phone Review
Nokia has long been one of my favorite hardware manufacturers because they consistently have devices with a better than usual build quality, their phones typically have strong radios, and they usually throw in a few excellent features not easily found elsewhere – like the built-in FM radio transmitters and Zeiss optics cameras many of their media phones [...]
Windows Phone Advertising – Doing Better By Pretending it Doesn’t Exist?
After a first year that can most generously be called “disappointing”, Microsoft and their key partner Nokia have been working hard to make this second year a success. Microsoft started with an amazing launch of Windows Phone 7.5 ‘Mango’, which rolled out to all phones worldwide within only a few weeks – and that is [...]
Nokia Announces Two New Windows Phones, the Lumia 800 and 710; Will You Be Buying One?
On February 11, Nokia and Microsoft made a major announcement that Nokia would be adopting Windows Phone as its primary smartphone strategy which meant they would be building hardware that would run the Windows Phone Operating System. This was huge news for both Nokia and for Microsoft, and now things are finally starting to happen. [...]
Nokia and Microsoft Get in Bed Together to Produce Prettier and Presumably Smarter Babies
This is so good, it’s almost hard to believe: Microsoft and Nokia have just formally announced their “Broad Strategic Partnership” as they “combine assets and develop innovative mobile products on an unprecedented scale.” The joint press conference occurred at 2:00 a.m. PST/5:00 a.m. EST, and unfortunately (or is it fortunately?) I was still awake trying [...]

Today’s Gear Deal brings us into the world of smart phones. To be more specifics… It brings us into the world of unlocked smart phones with some nice savings on the Nokia N8. The Nokia N8 is an Unlocked GSM phone that sports 3G, a touchscreen, a 12 MP Camera (yes you read the right) [...]
Angry Birds Replace Nokia In Finnish Hearts
Nokia’s falling star is hurting more than just the company’s bottom line. It was once the pride of Finland, and a decent size chunk of the country’s GDP. So it’s been nasty all around to see Nokia get decimated by the iPhone and Android. Surprisingly, Finland has been more than a hotspot for iconic phones; [...]
Samsung Unfriends Symbian
Uh oh…more bad news for Symbian (and Nokia). Boy Genius Report has posted that Samsung is getting out of Symbian entirely, to the point where they’re shutting down any developer support at the end of the year. This move just makes Nokia’s strategy to spin Symbian into a separate foundation even weirder. If you hit [...]
Where Did Nokia Go Wrong?
Kicking Nokia while they’re way, way, down is practically a sport these days. Admittedly, Nokia has become the kid in school with a “Kick Me” sign on them. And like that poor kid, Nokia watches what all the cool kids are wearing, and then seems to show up rocking the cool jeans a year after [...]
Gear Deal Double Deal- Nokia E92 and Lenovo Multimedia Remote
Here’s a double-shot of deals from our GearSponsor LogicBuy… The first deal is on an unlocked Nokia E72 Smartphone. The E72 comes in black and comes bundled Nokia’s Navigation Accessory Kit. It is a great combination thanks to the ability of E72 owners to use Ovi maps and their free voice-guided navigation. The combination usually [...]
The OtterBox Nokia N900 Commuter Series Case Review
When phones with sliding top halves first appeared, they presented unique challenges for accessory manufacturers. I can just imagine that some of them must have been scratching their heads — wondering how they were going to protect both halves of these devices, yet allow the keyboards to remain functional. After years of watching some of [...]
Cellcrypt Now Features Secure Mobile-to-Office Calling
Cellcrypt offers a very unique feature. That feature is completely securing voice calls on GSM networks. We’ve covered Cellcrypt before, highlighting their mobile-to-mobile security. Now there’s another reason to use Cellcrypt’s services: secure Mobile-to-Office calling. While this level of service (encrypting voice calls) could be considered, by some, to be a bit much — and [...]
