Quick Camera Comparisons: Nokia N8 vs Nokia Lumia 720; Nokia Lumia 520 vs 620

A couple of Lumia comparisons from NokNok. First up comparing the N8 against the Nokia Lumia 720.

Followed by the Nokia Lumia 620 against the hyperbudget Nokia Lumia 520.

The 520 does a respectable job, lacking really in just the LED flash (to help drive the price down).

Video: Official Tumblr App for WP Demoed on Lumia 920

Just a couple minutes ago we posted about the official Tumblr app finally being available for WP8; well here’s a quick video walk-through/Demo of the app since I got a couple requests for it previously. I really love the way the Gif play in stream along side the still images; it makes the app look very “well made” (which it is).

(Apologies I forgot to trim the start of the video after the intro, so there’s a bit of an awkward silence)

Wallet Hub Comes to Chinese WP on Lumia 720′s

Posted: 23 Apr 2013 10:39 AM PDT

One feature that has been missing from Chinese variants of Windows Phone besides certain social network integration is the wallet hub on WP8…. Till now. Wallet hub allows you to link your gift cards, credit cards, paypal and more in one place to quickly pay on the go (very similar to Apple’s passbook; except the fact that everyone seems to forget that the former exists, great job Microsoft). Users have noticed that the wallet hub is now included on the newly launched Lumia 720; hopefully it’ll follow on other Lumias with a future update.

Bloomberg says Nokia Lumia 928 for Verizon in the coming weeks – says it’s metal

Posted: 23 Apr 2013 06:24 AM PDT

There were some rumours last week that the Nokia Lumia 928 (for Verizon) might launch this week.

Bloomberg says otherwise. They reckon it’s coming in May (well we’re already pretty much nearing the end of April). They however reckon that instead of a polycarbonate body, it might be metal (like the expected Catwalk).

Well, Nokia will still be announcing something Lumia-Like on ~~Thursday~~ Wednesday (consensus is a QWERTY Asha).

Cheers dietyyli for the tip!

Finnish Railway company VR launch WP app for ticket sales – Android & iPhone coming later

Posted: 23 Apr 2013 02:44 AM PDT

Finnish Railway company VR has announced today that they have launched a Windows Phone app, that allows customers to purchase tickets. Currently, this is the ONLY app available from the company. Also announced was that Android and iOS apps will ve coming later.

Is this a sign of WP finally becoming that third ecosystem or just Finnish loyalty (in the sense of developing app for Nokia phones).
