| Confirmed! Lumia 920 has Rich Recording! + Rant Posted: 07 Sep 2012 12:44 PM PDT
Rich-Recording is an amazing piece of software/Hardware that was introduced alongside the 808′s Pureview imaging, yet it’s sadly overlooked most of the time in favor of the Perfect Pixel. According to slashgear the Lumia 920 Does indeed carry the triple microphones that with a bit of magic form the Nokia guys make the amazing sound capture possible, however for some reason nokia decided not to mention this in the keynote or on their spec sheets.
<Rant> Once again I wonder what on earth was going through Nokia mind when they decided NOT to mention this, not even in passing! It’s not that hard try it: “Oh BTW our amazing new phone can record up to 140 Decibels, that’s the sound of a jet engine during take0ff.. just thought you should know”. Why are they not advertising the hell out of this? But then again that might be too much to ask from the people who mentioned Pureview in the device release and didn’t bother explaining the technology till after 20 agonizing minutes of listening to resizable tiles. While we’re on the subject it’s rumored that Apple is releasing a music streaming service alongside it’s iPhone 5; if they do people will flock to it as if nothing else exists, especially not Nokia Music (at this point Pandora radio gets more news coverage); but then again I can’t blame them seeing how Nokia don’t ever bother announcing this stuff (in the keynote they cut off mid sentence while talking about the New Nokia music release!!). Knowing apple they’ll come out guns blazing calling ”iStream” a new revolution in the music industry never seen before, and will spend millions advertising it while Nokia sits back and watches its stock value tank. In all honesty the amount of innovation in a single device by Nokia (any device) could be spread out into 10 generations of iPhones, making each iteration look like a godsend; yet Nokia fail at selling a single device carrying all these amazing technologies since they don’t know how to market it. Let’s look at what the Lumia 920 Alone carries:
There were a couple more but my mind is blocked right now.. anyways look how much any other company would advertise ANY of the above features, and look at what Nokia are doing… seriosuly get it together, I don’t want to have to defend Nokia; it should speak for itself. </Rant>

| Nokia Re- Takes Central Park Photoshoot, Lumia 920 Blows Competitors (and Friends) Away! Posted: 07 Sep 2012 12:08 PM PDT
With all the ridiculous controversy about whether or not Nokia faked the photoshoot and videos, Nokia very kindly offered the Verge an exclusive change to reshoot the photos we saw and compare them against the rest. The results truly prove how amazing the 920 is, not only did it blow the iPhone 4s, GS3, HTC One X out of the water but it also very clearly bested even the king of phones; the 808. Lumia 900: (no surprises that it captured almost absolutely Nothing)
Nokia 808 Pureview: (not bad but as is the case with Xenon flash it lights up whatever’s close to you and darkens up the rest)
Lumia 920: (Simply amazing!- look at the background details)
-True the 920 didn’t manage to capture much details when it came to the girls face, but we never expected perfect quality, just amazing night-time photos (and it delivers)! Head over to the verge to see the rest of the competitors and how badly they failed.
Thanks for the tip APrasad

| Video & Gallery: Nokia Belle Feature Pack 2 Running on Nokia 808. Posted: 07 Sep 2012 11:18 AM PDT
Earlier today the files for Nokia Belle FP2 (previously known as Donna) were prematurely released on NaviFirm, this usually means that the real deal is coming soon. Until then check out my hands on with FP2 and share your thoughts/questions below: (Apologies in advance for not demoing the Browser on video, but I hardly ever use it so it never occurred to me to check it until later)

| Possible price and date for Nokia Lumia 920 release? Posted: 07 Sep 2012 02:47 AM PDT
Rumours have it that the Nokia Lumia 920 may be available from Mid October. Nokia haven’t said anything regarding price or dates, though at the Nokia event, we did hear a slip of seeing more WP features ‘in a couple of months time’ – thus setting a November scale. Perhaps Nokia are trying to get it out earlier. The expected price is said to be 600EUR/758USD/476GBP. The Nokia Lumia 820 would then follow two weeks later, priced at 450EUR. Edit: Michael: From what I know, WP8 won’t be launched until late October (iirc, Oct 29), and I strongly doubt MS will let anyone release a WP8 phone before they officially launch their OS. My guess is, it will either be announced at WP8 release as “now shipping, or shipping next week”, so nothing earlier than November is my guess. MS had Nokia locked down, that those who had hands-on were monitored by staff so they didn’t venture past Home Screen or demoed apps. I don’t expect they will let Nokia push devices out before the OS. Source: Winfuture.de. via WMPU Cheers viipottaja for the tip!

| Another brother to the Nokia Lumia 920 with PureMotion HD? Posted: 06 Sep 2012 11:52 PM PDT
Above is the Nokia Lumia 920. Notice how long it is and how for some reason, there’s a fat massive bezel at the bottom. Incredible given that this is the larger 4.5″ device. There must be just lots of stuff crammed at the bottom (inside the device). This is likely just a CGI/Render fault/just for illustration purposes, but there’s a small chance this is another device with PureMotion HD. This was in the Promo for PureMotion.
Quite nicely, the bezel at the bottom is much smaller. This means either the screen could be bigger or the phone is not so tall. I do wish that the bezel at the sizes is slimmer but there must be constraints regarding that deliciously beautiful curved glass. Edit: Michael: Just want to add, look at the placement of the Nokia logo and the top of the device. Logo is centralised, with the earpiece being separate from the screen, much like the Lumia 800. Cheers x3nom0rph for the tip!

Apparently, Belle FP2 or v113.10.1506 has been spotted on Navifirm for the Nokia 808 PureView. Flashing your own firmware is not recommended and will void your warranty. Source: ST Cheers Jonni Li for the tip
