This promo for the Nokia Lumia 625 kinda returns to that arsty-fartsy promos though with some interesting transitions in the way it shows off the colour matching of the background and the people to the Nokia Lumia 625. It ends by showing the group together and smart cam action shot, well, in action :) .

Nokia Planning Something Big… With Your Car

Posted: 29 Aug 2013 05:39 AM PDT

HERE_465Nokia Conversations just published a short teaser post, announcing that they will announce something tomorrow at 9AM. It apparently has something to do with cars and HERE maps

It has already been a busy news week here on Nokia Conversations and we have more exciting news to share tomorrow.

Check back at 9am GMT tomorrow to find out more…

Until then, drive safely!

http://conversations.nokia.com/2013/08/29/we-know-what-will-be-in-your-car-tomorrow/

I suspect it has something to do with HERE maps becoming a more widely accepted standard for in-car GPS, perhaps brokering a new deal with General Motors? Well we’ll find out tomorrow for sure, but what do you guys think?

There’s another Nokia promo for the Lumia 625. This one is about getting it done. Fast and Easy.

Nokia goes to the Gym for Lumia 625 Promo: Bigger. Better. Faster – LOL

Posted: 29 Aug 2013 04:19 AM PDT

Screen Shot 2013-08-29 at 12.14.41

Another funny promo from Nokia that genuinely did make me chuckle. The Nokia Lumia 625′s latest promo is about the bigger screen and that faster LTE connection. To emphasise this, we see a group of guys at the gym. Another, slim guy approaches them but upon picking up the 625, something happens. Check it out.

It’s cheesy yes. My mate just said it doesn’t really tell you what the phone does.

Nokia teams up with National Geographic to promote Nokia Lumia 1020′s insanely awesome camera

Nokia has teamed up with National Geographic to showcase some really stunning photos and videos produced by the Nokia Lumia 1020.

These were captured by award winning Nat Geo photographer, Stephen Alvarez.

"What the Nokia Lumia 1020 does astounds me – these results, from a smartphone, are stunning. I have used a lot off camera phones so when I set out on this assignment I had my doubts, my doubts are gone – nothing else compares."

AdDuplex spotting Nokia RX Tablets and Surface Pro 2?

Posted: 28 Aug 2013 10:31 PM PDT

 

Screen Shot 2013-08-29 at 06.27.31

AdDuplex notes that they’ve come across some interesting sightings in their logs in that slice of over 10,000 ‘other’ devices. Nokia most noticeably as they haven’t released a Windows tablet yet.

The sightings named (including those seen previously) include:

  • RX-107
  • RX-108
  • RX-113
  • RX-114
  • RX-115
  • RX-116

Nokia’s usual phone models by code are RM. RX usually denotes Nokia’s tablet series, such as the Maemo powered internet tablets.

Other things spotted include the Surface Pro 2 and 8.1 powered Surface.

I’m not sure how easy it is to spoof names.
