Video: WP 7.8 Shows Up on Lumia 510

Posted: 24 Nov 2012 12:45 PM PST

Windows Phone 7.8 is coming, there’s no denying it; hopefully sooner than later, and as always with any upcoming the release, the closer we get the more the leaks. In the latest leak we see the newly launched Lumia 510 running a build of WP 7.8, so to anyone who was in doubt that the 510′s low specs would stand in the way of a new start screen- worry not.

Note the new Office ’13 logo/icon on the tile, witch is one of the features that came new with WP8.

Leak: Asha 206 Dual Sim; Taking Design hints From Lumia

Posted: 24 Nov 2012 12:29 PM PST


What we have here is a supposed leak of an Asha 206, a dual sim candybar with Asha with a keypad instead of full touch, meaning it’s probably aimed at the super cheap end of the market. Interestingly it seems to take some design hints from the Lumia/N9 design with the ceramic plate around the camera; and what might be a ceramic/poly-carbonate back (like the 808 perhaps?), also is it just me or is the glass on the front of the screen curved? (first image)?

Thanks for the tip AIKON

Last week the site to claim your free Nokia Wireless Charger went live, but it only had white and red available.

Now they have Black and Yellow options too! Awesome! I’m going to be going for the yellow when it is my time to claim. Due to having a replacement handset, I’m going to have to wait yet another 14 days to claim :( . Hopefully Nokia will still have stock of the yellow one. First choice, yellow. Second choice, YELLOW.

 

Damian Dinning’s statement, props to unsung imaging Nokia heroes, moving to Jaguar Land Rover.

John from Nokia gave us a heads up on Damian Dinning’s statement that he gave to the PureViewClub. Due to key strategic roles moving to Finland (things MOVING TO Finland, NOT away folks) and relocation NOT an option for Damian and his family, it means that Damian is parting ways from Nokia.

Damian acknowledges the work of others in the imaging team, and says he’s embarrassed from the attention and notes the unsung heroes who make our Nokias class leading in imaging.

Another upside I’ve found is that Damian is NOT moving to a competitor, but to Jaguar Land Rover.

Following the news of my forthcoming departure from Nokia I wanted to say a few words:

Firstly, wow! Huge thanks for the incredibly kind words of support and well wishes. I have been so touched by all of your messages.

As reported in Nokia's own statement regarding my forthcoming departure, a number of key strategic roles have moved to Finland. My family and I are based in the UK at a stage in our lives where relocation is unfortunately not an option. I have therefore made the tremendously difficult decision after nearly 9 years with Nokia to leave the company. I am hugely proud of the work I have been involved with during my time at Nokia and feel privileged to have worked with some of the smartest people I've ever been fortunate enough to meet.

As reported by a few, the work area I am best known for, imaging, is the result of a huge and massively talented pool of people. I have often felt embarrassed by the media attention I received knowing that whilst I am proud of my own contributions and the forward looking guidance I have strived to provide the teams, there are a lot of unsung heroes!

I have known for some time that I would be leaving Nokia. I've spent many many months with this in mind, working with incredibly talented and highly motivated people across various teams building towards the next steps Nokia will take in imaging.

At a very young age, I had two very strong interests, cars and photography. With regards to the latter, I wanted to be able to take photography from the nerdy or for special occasions only use it was at the time, to being part of everyday life. I never thought I'd be able to play a role in making that happen, but my time at Nokia gave me exactly that opportunity. I really feel I've been able to fulfil that ambition. Whilst we're really only just entering the next major stage in the development of photography and I still have a very clear vision of how I see it's longer term development, I fully recognise this is the perfect opportunity for me to work in quite a different area.

For those less cynical amongst you, there's a lot to look forward to as the various teams continue to work as hard as ever. I feel confident you're going to really love what they're working on for the future. Having been directly involved, I'm personally intrigued to monitor as a spectator, their progress.

As for my future, I am moving to an industry I've wanted to be part of for a very long time. My experience in telecoms and smartphones provides me with a great opportunity to make a difference in a company whose own development is inspiring at a time of great change. I am thrilled that I'll shortly be joining Jaguar Land Rover where I'll take a role
driving future innovations in the exciting new field of Connected Car.

You can still contact me via my twitter page @PhoneDaz, but I will not be using this account in relation to my new role. Feel free to nudge me from time to time…

Best wishes to you all.

Damian Dinning
