Nokia Planning Something Big… With Your Car Posted: 29 Aug 2013 05:39 AM PDT Nokia Conversations just published a short teaser post, announcing that they will announce something tomorrow at 9AM. It apparently has something to do with cars and HERE maps It has already been a busy news week here on Nokia Conversations and we have more exciting news to share tomorrow. Check back at 9am GMT tomorrow to find out more… Until then, drive safely! http://conversations.nokia.com/2013/08/29/we-know-what-will-be-in-your-car-tomorrow/ I suspect it has something to do with HERE maps becoming a more widely accepted standard for in-car GPS, perhaps brokering a new deal with General Motors? Well we’ll find out tomorrow for sure, but what do you guys think?

Nokia goes to the Gym for Lumia 625 Promo: Bigger. Better. Faster – LOL Posted: 29 Aug 2013 04:19 AM PDT Another funny promo from Nokia that genuinely did make me chuckle. The Nokia Lumia 625′s latest promo is about the bigger screen and that faster LTE connection. To emphasise this, we see a group of guys at the gym. Another, slim guy approaches them but upon picking up the 625, something happens. Check it out. It’s cheesy yes. My mate just said it doesn’t really tell you what the phone does.

AdDuplex spotting Nokia RX Tablets and Surface Pro 2? Posted: 28 Aug 2013 10:31 PM PDT   AdDuplex notes that they’ve come across some interesting sightings in their logs in that slice of over 10,000 ‘other’ devices. Nokia most noticeably as they haven’t released a Windows tablet yet. The sightings named (including those seen previously) include: RX-107 RX-108 RX-113 RX-114 RX-115 RX-116 Nokia’s usual phone models by code are RM. RX usually denotes Nokia’s tablet series, such as the Maemo powered internet tablets. Other things spotted include the Surface Pro 2 and 8.1 powered Surface. I’m not sure how easy it is to spoof names. Source: AdDuplex Cheers Alvester for the tip!
