| Guess the Move and win a Burton Snowboard and Nokia Lumia #LumiaSickAir @NokiaUS Posted: 20 Mar 2013 03:52 PM PDT  Is that a shadow of a 920 (920 in a case?) Mooaarr Snow videos, recorded by the Nokia Lumia 920. This one gives you a chance to win a Burton Snowboard including bindings package and a Nokia Lumia. Snowboarding/winter sport aficionados will have to guess what trick is performed in the video below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=albJpgeuqqc
Can’t really tell from the reflection – it’s focused on the background.

Windows guy Paul Thurott has been checking out Nokia’s range of Wireless Charging accessories recently and appears to have all of them except for the charging stand (I have one next to my bed :p ) and the newly announced car charger (not yet available).
Paul’s quite a fan of wireless charging, saying it’s a game changer and something that all smart devices will have. My housemates, whilst initially finding it a cool concept can’t fathom the ease of use of plopping the phone on a charging plate/stand/pillow/speaker and not having to physically push a plug into the phone (as you’re often just resting a phone down on a surface, when you pick it up, it’s charged – not to mention the growing number of public places that will have this facility).
I’ve been enjoying charging without plugging in since my TouchPad (the tablet WebOS version of the Pre). I do think Nokia should take a hint and give users the option to instantly activate that screensaver when wirelessly charging as opposed to requiring each and every time to TAP the NFC part of the stand (and if you haven’t got the stand, you don’t get this option). As mentioned in Paul’s reader comments, just wait until the new iPhone gets wireless charging. iCharge will be a whole new invention and so much cooler because no other phone has iCharge :/ Future improvements could be stands that initiate WiFi transfers to your computer. I know there’s SkyDrive but this one is an optional direct link (thereby avoiding plugging in Via USB…which I haven’t done except for testing out backups/USB transfer). This could mean a phone with no ports other than headphone jack (which could also be done away with using accessories like the Purity Pros or, if you still want wired headsets but no connection to the phone, something like the Nokia BH-111 |

The Nokia Lumia 720 has been spotted on Amazon UK indicating a delivery date of April 8th. The price is more than the 820. Though based on past examples, initial Amazon prices are normally higher than standard retail prices. There’s no Amazon listing yet for the 520. Whilst we’re here, we got an email a couple of weeks ago from James at Unlocked-Mobiles that they’ll be getting the 520 and 720 with April 1t release dates. Quite a bit cheaper than Amazon too (if it sticks to this price).
That’s £294.98 also including VAT if you check out that link. Source: WMPU Via: @Joaoluisc |

Viber for WP8. I almost lost all hope every time I saw someone ask when it would appear and we’d get a comment (apparently from a Viber rep) saying they’re working on it. Just this weekend, my mum turned down getting a chance to use WP8 (as awesome as all the other features were) because it didn’t yet have Viber that she had been using on her 800. Well, it might appear possibly some time in March or April according to Viber’s CEO. He says the Nokia Lumia 920 was one of the devices they tested most extensively. Via: WMPU |
| Video: Auto-Trader TV ad Starring Nokia Lumia 920 Posted: 20 Mar 2013 11:27 AM PDT Check out this advert for Auto-Trader, which uses the Nokia Lumia 920 to take a picture of a car a customer might put on for sale It’s thought the placement may be related to the decision by owners of Auto-Traders to change their iPhones to Windows Phones. Android devices apparently have too much security vulnerabilities.

It is possible to get some nice pet pics with the 920 (Barry Wadey)

. Eventually there’d be ‘true’ wireless charging where you don’t need to be in close proximity to a charging accessory (some examples you may have heard is the use of general background microwaves) though no one knows what health implications that may have – if it is even feasible.
