| Video: Instagram for Windows Phone; Via Metrogram Posted: 23 Dec 2012 09:09 AM PST
One of the major obstacles blocking Windows Phone’s success is the lack of the uber-popular photo sharing social network, Instagram. Love it or hate it, people use it; and I know several people who were interested in the Lumia but stopped the moment they heard there is no Instagram for it. So until Instagram get their act together (and accept the ridiculous amount of money Microsoft have probably offered them) then it’s up to 3rd party developers to make semi-working apps for Instagram (just like Meego with Instago). The solution for Windows Phone (both 7 & 8) comes in the form of Metrogram, a 3rd party reader and semi-publisher client for Instagram, that can view, like, comment, follow, unfollow and do jus tabout everything Instagram on iOS and android can; except for uploading new pictures :/ . But it is a start.

| Asha 308 Camera Test (Hint: It’s Not Good) Posted: 23 Dec 2012 08:14 AM PST
You amy recall that a couple months abck we took a look at the Asha 302 in SmartPhoneLiteWeek (A week where I only used the 302 as my primary phone); which included a camera test- the bottom line of which was that the Asha 302 was a superb chooter in terms of money to quality; as wella s in general being a great feature phone camera. Unfortunately this isn’t the case with the Asha 308, in fact it’s the total opposite, where as the Asha 302 was fun to use in terms of a camera (since it was constantly surprisingly); with the 308 I could barely wait to get done of snapping images and getting back inside… that bad. Although honestly the picture quality isn’t too bad the video is a complete failure (it would have been better off not being able to capture video- honestly). The Asha 302 has a 3.2 MP camera that filmed video in 480p (very impressive for feature phone standards) along with some great audio capture. The 308 has some acceptable audio recording in video mode but a stomach hurling video capture of 240p- check out the video below; but you have been warned:
Compare that quality to the Asha 302′s video, I can’t see why they couldn’t replicate the same abilities, quite disappointing really:
Photo’s are pretty decent and look good on anything less than your average 13″ screen (Check out the 302′s photo gallery here: http://mynokiablog.com/2012/05/22/camera-test-asha-302-surprisingly-good-smartphoneliteweek/

| Massive queues for Nokia Lumia 920 in China Posted: 23 Dec 2012 05:17 AM PST
It’s always a pleasant sight to see people queueing up for Nokia. Or even just showing interest to Nokia products (such as hovering over a Lumia on display at a phone shop). Below we can see one of the few Nokia shops in China packed with people interested in the Nokia Lumia 920. Now whilst this isn’t indicative of any sales in China, it’s still always nice to see, especially since the Nokia Lumia 920 is totally worth all this attention. The Nokia Lumia 920 sold out in 2 hours apparently. Well, that would be easy if stock was low, no? :p
Cheers viktor von d. for the tip.

| Jolla Ringtone available for download Posted: 23 Dec 2012 04:52 AM PST
Labelled “Jolla Music Ringtone”, this appears to be one of the Ringtones for Jolla ( which may sound familiar as it was in one of their promo videos). You can listen to it below: It sounds like one of those cheesy Samsung ringtones to me. Source: JollaUsers Cheers MeeDroid for the tip!
