| Videos: Lumia 920 Vs. HTC 8X- Boot Time, Apps, Screen & Design Posted: 30 Dec 2012 09:23 AM PST Our buddy SamJPullen is doing a series of comparisons between the beloved 920 and the HTC 8X. So here’re a couple awesome videos showing off the boot speeds, app launching; then a second video comparing design and screens.
I was honestly surprised how long it took the 8X to boot, is it because of the O2 branding? Of course it’s always nice to see a screen sensitivity comparison against another device; just to keep things in prescriptive. *Also as noted in the video it seems as if the 920 has some sort of coating on the screen, possibly an oleophobic coating? There’s an obvious difference between the screen texture of the 920 and the 900; but I’m not sure what the reason behind it is? (is it just the curved glass?) |
| Second Shipment of 920′s Hits China; Sells out in under 20 Minutes Posted: 30 Dec 2012 04:52 AM PST Last week we heard that the Lumia 920 sold out in record time after finally hitting Chinese stores, well apparently the second batch of phones has come in… and gone right out. Reports claim that the phone sold out in less than 20 minutes from the Nokia flagship store in Shanghai; with most demand being for the yellow variant. According to the source the store didn’t allow any photography inside the actual store, but here are a couple pictures of the lines from the outside.

Quick little promo for the Nokia Lumia 920 from Nokia India. It’s nothing much really, but just getting for the launch
Cheers Jules for the tip! |

| Video: Hands On Demo of Sailfish OS on N950 Posted: 29 Dec 2012 12:32 PM PST The luck guys/gals at engadget have gotten a chance to play with Sailfish OS/Jolla mobile on the N950. Take a look at the UI all over again with the hidden menus, gestures and built in apps. (DAMN!! It looks so smooth! Although the font/theme does look very Androidish :/ ) [viddler id=8eae5613 w=545 h=307] http://www.viddler.com/v/8eae5613?secret=94294795 I love the swiping backwards to go back! That’s one of the features that I though would’ve been a natural implementation of Swipe on the N9, but unfortunately not.
BTW- Am I the only who felt some excess stress on the “true multi-tasking” after mentioning Windows phone |
| Forbes Absolutely Hates the Lumia 920 and Everything About it.. BooHoo Posted: 29 Dec 2012 09:42 AM PST
Ok, I don’t even know where to start; since this “review” by Forbes is beyond ridiculous; I mean I’ve heard of Bias and fanboyism, but to this extent? Every single sentence of this review is a joke; and unfortunately somehow a site with reviews as poorly done as this still has a massive following. This so called review by Forbes is honestly some of the most shameless fanboyism I’ve ever seen, the author doesn’t even attempt to hide his hate for the Lumia 920 form the second he picked it up.
We’ve seen some pretty awful reviews before, but this one just takes the cake; and honestly I only have one question for the man who wrote this, if the phone sucked this bad why did you torture yourself and use it for two months? Either it’s not as bad as you say, or you really haven’t used it..
Seriously??? Unusable in low light??? Whatever this guy is on get me some because it’s obviously some strong Mojo. He also simply “forgot” to mention the amazing sun light readability, the OIS stabilization and the PureMotion display…Seriosuly Forbes fire this joker of a “tech writer”. Read the rest of the mockery here: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jeanbaptiste/2012/12/28/nokia-lumia-920-review-thick-heavy-hot-poor-battery-life/ *note it’s worth pointing out that Forbes apparently hated the Lumia 920 from the day it was announced, claiming that it brought “nothing new” WTF? http://www.forbes.com/sites/timworstall/2012/09/05/nokias-windows-8-phone-so-umm-thats-it-hunh/ Someone quite obviously has a vendetta against Nokia… *Note: the reason i’m posting this is because it’s a perfect example for the “attempted Crucifixion” that I mentioned in yesterdays post Thanks for the tip viipottaja |

Like the video we saw yesterday, this just blends into the furniture. No plugging in, just resting your phone. In this instance, instead of being on the table, there’s a little stand (with the sugar/sweeteners) that lights up. Whilst you charge up on caffeine, your Lumia charges up too.

| Video: Special Edition Nokia Lumia 920 packaging unboxing by The Manalyst Posted: 29 Dec 2012 04:55 AM PST
Do you remember back in November we were treated to some glimpses of a special edition packaging of the Nokia Lumia 920.
Manal, the recipient of that 920 messaged above to let us know she’s done an unboxing. The contents are as standard, all in gorgeous yellow. However, bundled in are the wireless charging plate and fatboy pillow. The only thing that would have completed are the yet to be released Purity Pros in yellow, no? :p Manal didn’t use her wireless charger much as she prefers being able to use it whilst it’s charging. You can still sort of do that. It’s never really been a problem for me though. I’ve never really had to ever plug in my 920 at all since owning it. (Especially with SkyDrive wirelessly transferring pictures/videos/files over to my computer). The second half of the video looks into the phone and Manal mentions something called “Midnight Developer Challenge” – a campaign to produce more localised apps in Saudi Arabia by both Nokia and MS.

| My Dream Nokia #77: Nokia Lumia Play, Xbox Phone WP8 Concept Posted: 29 Dec 2012 04:47 AM PST Possibly one of the final My Dream Nokia’s for 2012, this is a much anticipated phone concept by many. A Nokia Xbox phone for MDN #77, the Nokia Lumia Play (could have been Play 360 but Nokia already has that product :p). The first picture above shows the two modes. It’s not dual screen, but it does have dual sliders popping out either side (perhaps a little like the N95 in some sense) where gaming buttons appear, D-pad on the left, XYAB buttons on the right. It’s quite a striking design when you look through all the images. The angular nature looks very sci-fi futuristic, quite ‘Xbox-esque’ (at least the old one, hence old logo) whilst the bright colours sing out loud that this is Nokia Lumia. I do also really love the glowing XBox Logo. Despite such a form factor possibly being thick, it seems impossibly thin at 7.6mm.
I’d love for Nokia to produce THE Nokia Lumia Xbox phone. That would catapult it to an enormous amount of recognition. Although it would mean that we’d be expecting some very decent Xbox titles (not just phone versions though some look awesome). Imagine Halo for Nokia? :p Though I’d suspect the other partners might not like this. Perhaps it’s something MS themselves would try :/. Source: behance
