| Cyan Lumia 900 Case Out of Stock; Sign of 900s Still Selling Strong? Posted: 30 May 2012 08:16 PM PDT Since Nokia refuses to release any exact number of how many 900s have been sold (cross fingers and think multi-millions?) we sort of end up reading a bit more into every “out of stock” notification; the latest item to go out of stock is the Cyan Bumper for the Lumia 900 (of course the Cyan 900 is the most popular and faces the most demand). I’m not sure what type of back-stock the online At&t store would have; but I would assume it’s huge considering that the device has been on the market for almost two months now (keep in mind the accessories were available before the actual device even). Follow up question, wasn’t there a Black BUMPER case (no back cover) for the 900 available online as well? I can’t seem to find it anymore and I was hoping to grab one to protect the stormtrooper once it arrives without hiding it’s beauty, (the only other bumpers are Green & Cyan- neither of which match well with White); the black bumper would have made a perfect combo giving contrast between the two extremes.

| Nokia Store under maintenance – 808 to be added? Posted: 30 May 2012 04:32 PM PDT If you check out Nokia store’s page (oddly still with http://store.ovi.com/ and not redirecting to store.nokia.com) you’ll get the message:
Aymen who tipped this in speculates it might mean that Nokia is adding the 808 Pureview to the roster. Perhaps or it might just be the usual maintenance. Cheers Aymen for the tip!

| Update: O2 confirms- No 32GB Stormtrooper 900 :/ Posted: 30 May 2012 04:00 PM PDT  Well that was disappointing, after everyone got excited about the 32gb Lumia 900 that for sale by O2 Germany they went ahead and changed it back to 16gb; along with the tweet below denying they ever knew of it. Oh well…

| Lumiappaday #197: Photosynth demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800 Posted: 30 May 2012 03:10 PM PDT
Now this will work without a gyroscope (e.g. would work best on 900) but I demoed this on the 800 and it did a good enough job.

| Video: PhotoSynth Panorama app for WP (Seriously Awesome App) Posted: 30 May 2012 11:08 AM PDT As we just posted Phot0Synth was just released for WP bringing awesome 360 panorama capture to all WPs; here’s a quick Hands-On preview of the app I filmed a few minutes ago:
Anyone else try it out yet? *this is the first app video to be recorded with the iPad, what do you guys think of the quality? Stick with it or back to the N8? (It was hell trying to pan/focus the phone while mimicking the same movements on the iPad with only one hand- had to refilm about 5 times.)

| PhotoSynth (Awesome Panorama app) Now Available for WP (Gyroscope Preferred) Posted: 30 May 2012 08:52 AM PDT PhotoSynth is a really cool app that was just released for WP; it basically allows you to do full 360 degree and spherical panoramas (Currently Nokia Creative Studio only allows a maximum of 4 shots per panorama); anyways it’s a really cool app that you guys should check out. However it does claim it needs a gyroscope in the device and apparently the Lumia 800 doens’t have one (First I’m hearing of this); it’ll still works fine on it but supposedly it’ll give you better performance on a device with a gyroscope (Does the 900 have one?) Also unfortunately this is yet another app to be added on the list of things that won’t run on the Lumia 610; I’m honestly having a very hard time finding a “selling point” of this phone as it’s priced similar to the Lumia 710 and in some areas even more expensive, yet the 710 a better camera, more Processing power and more available applications. I know the number of apps that won’t work isn’t THAT serious; but I feel like Nokia kinda shot themselves in the foot with this one as it throws away half the reason they went to WP; EcoSystem. Anyways go ahead and download it for you non 610 Lumias here:

| Magenta Lumia 900 Dummy Spotted in Italy; Real Thing Coming Soon? Posted: 30 May 2012 08:28 AM PDT So far the 4 new colors of Nokia that we’ve become accustomed to has been suspiciously missing it’s Pink member when it came to the Lumia 900; earlier we thought it was coming out on mothers-day but that turned out to be a pink case. This time it’s popped up again as full bodied non-functioning dummy unit somewhere in Italy; so hopefully a new color is coming soon (Still wouldn’t be as weird as releasing a BROWN version of a phone more than 1 year after it’s launch; Still haven’t seen one of those BTW). On the other hand back at MWC I asked the guys why there wasn’t a Magenta colored one, and if they had decided to “drop” the color from the line- their reply was the current colors are what you see; we might add more later you never know; is it possible that Nokia have been so impressed with the sales of the 900 that they added another color in the mix to keep things spicy?

O2 Germany @ o2de
Most people were speculating that it’s the Pureview launch; but I think otherwise, first of all The pureview was never confirmed for Philippines (was it?) Secondly each tile in the image represents one of the now trademark four colors of Lumia line (Stormtrooper White, Cyan Blue, Flashy Magenta and Matte Black); also recall that they did something similar with the nail polish in the picture to the left to tease the white Lumia 800.
