808 Gorilla Glass Scratch Test Posted: 01 Jul 2012 04:31 PM PDT You know the drill, bring sharp objects; scratch screen; use magic wipe to fix glass- the latest phone to be tortured/tickled with knives and forks is the 808 pureview, putting it’s gorilla glass to the test. Check out the video below: VIA Thanks for the tip Rishabh |
Lumiappaday #229: Harbor Master demoed on the Nokia Lumia 900 XboxLive Posted: 01 Jul 2012 01:38 PM PDT This is Harbor Master, a really fun Xbox Live title where, like Flight Control (#181) or Airport, you have to direct the right boats to the right dock. BUT you have to escort them out too and another boat cannot dock if it’s already busy. If a boat collides with another boat, it crashes and it’s game over. #229) Harbor Master

Nokia have a back up plan………..After all! Posted: 01 Jul 2012 02:42 AM PDT Nokia’s chairman broke the silence on Nokia’s backup plan in a recent interview by Yle with Nokia’s Chairman Risto Siilasmaa: Siilasmaa pointed out that the company owned five business areas, including its location services, patent stock and network division (Nokia Siemens Networks). He defended the choice of Windows Phone as the platform to replace its flagging Symbian operating system, as he knew that symbian is on steady decline since 2008. "Symbian's market share has come down close to zero," Siilasmaa said of the decision to switch to Windows. Siilasmaa said Windows Phone had been selected after a critical and detailed study of available options. He said the Windows Phone 8 platform is a technological first, providing users with a seamless user experience across multiple platforms, from PCs to tablets and smartphones.
The board chairman was steadfast in his support of beleaguered CEO Stephen Elop, who has come under criticism as the company continues to lose value. Siilasmaa refused to comment on whether a management shakeup was on the cards. "He came in at a tough time," Siilasmaa said, adding that Elop's management style had been “good and transparent.” Talking about the backup plan of Nokia he clearly refused that Symbian will never come again and Meltemi is also not getting a fair amount of chance.

Weekend Read: NokConv – How Nokia can still differentiate with location-based services Posted: 30 Jun 2012 11:51 PM PDT
This is a follow up story to the news that WP8 phones will all get Nokia Drive.
We heard Elop mention that there was more to come. Whilst there is location and navigation in step 0 and 1, Nokia knows how to do more with steps 2-5. I don’t like step 5s things at all. Remember the last great step 4 before we killed it off in trying to make step 5? :/ Anyway, here is NokConv’s response:
OK. I like the sound of a more integrated seamless Nokia Drive experience in lumia. I love Nokia Drive. I can find where I am and get directions where I need to be in seconds. But I hate it whenever I’m in another app and it decides to give me directions using the ridiculous Bing maps.
Does this answer the question for me on how SPECIFICALLY Nokia Lumia range would differentiate in terms of mapping if ALL WP8 phones would get Nokia Drive? It seems to want to address the bigger picture of the Nokia Location Business as a whole differentiating itself from Google and now Apple’s offerings.
Update: It seems some of you were as confused as I was. Here’s Janne’s reply to another reader, who found it made more sense than the original article:

Trusted Platform Module for more secure Nokia Lumia appeal against BB. Posted: 30 Jun 2012 11:20 PM PDT Trusted Platform Chip will apparently form part of the new Nokia Lumia WP8 phones. It’s not a new thing and has been on Windows computers for manufacturers to use for a while now. But not on MS mobile devices until now with WP8. The article below is mostly about RIM’s problems but the last three paragraphs before the conclusion give a good overview on the importance of such security.
Here’s an interesting read too:
