| NaviFirm+ 2.0 Released – Allows Firmware Downloads Once Again Posted: 14 Aug 2013 04:19 PM PDT
To any Symbian, Maemo or MeeGo-Harmattan user, NaviFirm was the best tool, for being able to install updated firmware for your Nokia device. Lumia owners then got to join in briefly, until the service was pulled earlier this year, when Nokia did some server side encryption and what not. It seems, thanks to some rather persistent folk, the service has been restored, and is available in the form of NaviFirm + 2.0. The download is free, yet to use it, you need to donate a small amount (3 Euros), which will give you an account.

In addition to the YouTube app, I got some other updates:

| Nokia Flagship Store Helsinki Nokia Lumia 925 launch (preparation in Window) Posted: 14 Aug 2013 10:10 AM PDT
So what’s going on at the Nokia Flagship Store in Helsinki? Although we were told that the staff wouldn’t comment, the window displays are filled with the Nokia Lumia 925. What’s Wednesday May 15th supposed to be? I can’t quite make out the other word. Interestingly despite the 925 being available in the US, UK and several other countries, it’s hasn’t been available in Finland (possibly launch tomorrow). Neither apparently is the 501 and of course, not the 1020 (which is not available anywhere except AT&T USA). Cheers rosstek for the tip! More photos from another tipster

| Rumours: Nokia Lumia 825 5.2″ Quadcore ‘budget’ phablet, with Dual SIM and QuickCharge Posted: 14 Aug 2013 06:53 AM PDT
A while back we were treated to some rumours that indicated a whole list of new upcoming Nokia phones with big, big screens. There’s more information now corroborating the existence of the Nokia Lumia 825, a potential new Quadcore Phablet with Adreno 305 GPU from Nokia with 5.2″ screen. It would feature a 720p screen too (less than the 920 unless it’s 1080p and 720 is all that’s showing up)
The ‘budget’ bit is intriguing. Like the 625 and the 520 and the 620, they are providing high end experiences at competitive prices. Another interesting info is dual sim and whatever quick charge 1.0 is meant to be . ETA? If MS ships GDR3 on time possibly October. If not then December.

| Gartner: Microsoft Has Become the No. 3 Smartphone OS Overtaking BlackBerry (WP) Posted: 14 Aug 2013 05:10 AM PDT
Just reiterating the results, WP is the third smartphone OS now after Android and iOS. Gartner’s numbers show 7,407,000 units for WP (versus IDC’s 8.7M) of ‘sales’ to end users. As well as increasing in sales unit volume, to increase in market share, the sales volume increase must be inline with the rest of the market.
WP’s growth, whilst slow, is still showing growth. Nokia’s entry level units are said to be a hit and we may see even more progress for Q3. In contrast, BB are considering several options of which one is to sell the company.

The history of Nokia tablet rumors is long and painful, most notably we’ve recently seen pictures of what is supposed to be a cancelled Nokia tablet, before that we heard detailed rumors of a very surface-like device with a built in keyboard/kickstand. Let’s not forget the recent benchmark appearance of the RX-114 a supposed Quad-core RT tab. Adding strength to an upcoming Nokia launch would be two more patents published earlier this year, one for a Kickstand like “apparatus” and the other for an electo-tactile responsive keyboard, both the perfect accessories to match a tablet. The Electrotactile feedback patent (and more design art) can be found here:
The Apparatus stand here:
It’s a safe bet to assume that Nokia won’t release a tablet on it’s own, it’s sure to have at least a couple accessories or distinguishing hardware features (more Surface-y than iPad-ish), the only question is when will we see Nokia’s first tablet? My money’s on a RT tab this september (the 26th?).

| Official Youtube App is Back! Brings Uploads From Gallery too! Posted: 14 Aug 2013 04:06 AM PDT
Remember the whole controversy regarding Microsoft’s homegrown YouTube ap that got google’s panties in a bunch? Which was resolved by the two deciding to work together for the sake of creating a proper app. Well they’ve finally delivered after almost 4 months the official Youtube app has been updated to fix all that was wrong with the world, including being able to upload previously captured videos from the gallery. Grab the update from the link below:
If the reviews are anything to go by the app is finally a proper app, what do you guys think?
Thanks for the tip Otto! |
| New qi Wireless Charger Dt-601 Shows Up With USB Powering Posted: 14 Aug 2013 03:50 AM PDT
I’m not sure if smaller is better seeing how sometimes I wake up in the morning to find that my 920 hasn’t charged because it wasn’t centered properly on the DT-900 (or perhaps I nudged it in my sleep), but perhaps the coil in the DT-601 will be larger? Thanks for the tip AIKON

We got sent this press release from the Nokia UK comms. We’ve chopped away at the waffle to leave you with the details of where it will be available Since it’s available on EE, does that mean Orange/T-mobile (which is EE)?
