For £149.99 you can get the 4.7″ Nokia Lumia 625. There’s a £20 gift (voucher?) to spend on the high street as well as a free shell.

Lumiappdates: Nokia Camera and Day Counter

Nokia Camera got an updated to v4.3.0.9 though I’m not sure what the changes are. Perhaps bug fixes?

Day Counter, one of the apps always pinned to my homescreen (counting down exams/events etc) is now on v4.0.0.0 but no changelog noted in the update description either.

Update: Note quite sure if it’s just me or the usual subjective expectation of updates. It feels like Nokia Camera starts a little quicker and I had a quick search and some users noted the same.

LeakyLeak: Nokia product codenames II: Goldfinger, Moneypenny, Normandy, Phantom, Spinel (#007)

Last night @evleaks tweeted the product names of some more Nokia devices.  Goldfinger and Moneypenny (perhaps even Phantom, aka Rolls Royce Phantom III owned by Auric Goldfinger).

Normandy…Deauville, located in the lower Normandy region, was said to be the inspiration for the location of Casino Royale. Ian Flemming had apparently played at Deauville.

Spinel? Defined as a hard glassy mineral occurring as octahedral crystals of variable colour and consisting chiefly of magnesium and aluminium oxides…

The images relating to James bond show some cufflinks, but otherwise I’m not sure about the meaning here.

On the smartphone sense, the James Bond movies are recently notorious for their Sony product placement (Sony Pictures and all).
