| Video: A Nokia Lumia 1520 RICH recording moment Posted: 31 Jan 2014 10:44 AM PST
Quick heads up on this short video to demonstrate the audio recording on the Nokia Lumia 1520. You can hear the tense deep breathing so clearly.

| Bloomberg: Microsoft preparing next for CEO Satya Nadella? Gates to be replaced as Chairman? Posted: 31 Jan 2014 08:19 AM PST
According to Bloomberg, MS Cloud computing chief, Satya Nadella may become Microsoft’s next CEO after Ballmer. Either way it’s not Elop. Founder, ex-CEO and Chairman, Bill Gates may also be replaced. Whilst Bill said he’d help out part time, there may be someone else at the Chairman’s seat. Possible replacement includes John Thompson, MS Lead independent director. Gate’s exit may be a bigger shift than Ballmer’s. Source: Bloomberg Cheers Alvester for the tip! |
| Accessories: Nokia Lumia 1520 wallet case/stand Posted: 31 Jan 2014 08:11 AM PST
There are some people that prefer their phones naked. I like mine with accessories. Not least for the protection but also because they can do something. Keeping my cards together (ID/Cash/Cards) or even keys and with this one, having the option to use it as a stand. Also having something against the screen is great of keeping it clean, especially when I’ve left it in my bag. This is just a generic one you can find on eBay. I got this from Amazon in order to get the one day shipping. This just arrived this afternoon :). I wish I ordered it sooner and perhaps I could have avoided that knock, eh? A couple of shots of the cover empty.
With the 1520 in. Covered up . Yes there is added thickness. I’ve seen a lot of these cases around in their various forms and it seems that despite the ambition for slimmer phones, people don’t mind putting them in cases, especially when they have additional functions other than protection. Side view of the stand. Angle is somewhat adjustable. Great for the big screened 1520.
Stand view. Ouch.
When typing I’d usually have the flag around the back. I think it looks quite nice. Like a mini diary.
Here’s the exact one: |

Currently users who actively search using Bing are eligible to redeem their points into gift cards for Xbox, Amazon and others, a nice way to reward your users instead of selling their information; but if only Microsoft would play favorites with their OS…

| Video: How to Recycle Nokias and get gold – filmed on Nokia Lumia 1020 Posted: 31 Jan 2014 04:20 AM PST
Another video from this bonkers looking lady (who previously showed us ‘how’ to make a phone case out of old CDs) on how to recycle gold. Or more correctly, how to recycle Nokia phones and get gold. Digging up natural resources consumes oil. Nokia finds it better to recycle. In their sample, the energy they saved could be used to make 17.5 mobile phones. I like the half there.

| Video: Lumia 1520 Performance Test + Camera Speed Vs Lumia 1020 Posted: 31 Jan 2014 03:54 AM PST
The Lumia 1520 is Nokia’s beefiest phone till date, with massive internals to match the massive screens size, so here’s a video showing how the Snapdragon 800 and the quad core processor perform.
The Lumia 1520 is very fast when it comes to capturing images on the go (and even faster when it comes to comparing it against the Lumia 1020 which is pretty slow in that aspect). |
| Accessories: DIY Wireless Charging wallet case for Nokia Lumia 1020 Posted: 31 Jan 2014 03:47 AM PST
Unlike the 920 and 1520, the 1020 didn’t have Wireless charging built in. Now on my 920, I use a wallet case. Whilst it does add bulk, it means I only carry one thing. Wallet with cards/notes/keys/receipts can all fit in with the phone. Now, that wallet case is pretty much just a 920 snap on cover with the faux leather wallet bit. The wireless charging shells are pretty much just snap on covers. It’s just as easy to exchange the simple snap on cover with the wireless charging shell right? (I think it was something I was contemplating on doing with the 925 too). These are pretty cheap on eBay. This clipped on much more securely than the 920 case.
Anyway, rip that off and exchange it for the wireless charging shell.
This is how the wireless charging shell looks like on its own. Take the 1020 out of course. And add copious amounts of glue. I used gel superglue as it was less runny.
Attach to the case. Leave for at least a day. Do not put the 1020 in as you might end up with some marks when the glue dries.
4 months on.
________ P.S. This post was meant to be published in October 2013 but I just never got around to it. I also had a ton of other accessories to share about the 920 but again, due to the piling Uni schedules it just got forgotten. There are various leather wallet cases to choose from on eBay so feel free to take your pick. |

At the time this post was originally written, we weren’t sure that this was real based on the flurry of fake WP8.1 posts. Tom Warren seems to have confirmed it’s more likely to be real.

| NokConv: How Nokia Connects with its Amazing Community Posted: 31 Jan 2014 03:17 AM PST
Joel Williams details the work that goes on behind the scenes of how Nokia Connects with its AMAZING Community. Nokia’s Social Media teams are awesome. Whether it be direct Nokia, Nokia Connects or the previous WOM World (via 1000Heads), they know how to engage with the community and bring up grass roots support. As you know, MNB started because we had so much more Nokia related content to share, thanks to WOMWorld (now Nokia Connects).
But it isn’t just about connecting with Nokia or even tech bloggers. It’s about those online who make conversation. We hope that even with the D&S sale to Microsoft, they’ll continue this involvement. Our 7 super rules of engagement1. We discover and get involved in relevant conversations.

Oh that crack. Bits of the glass are falling off every day.
I’m still using it on my 1020. Got bank cards, student cards.
