Nokia Australia wishes you an #AppyXmasAU – Chance to Win Store Credit & a Lumia 1020 Posted: 09 Dec 2013 05:59 PM PST Nokia Australia are running a Twitter and Facebook competition, where each day until Dec 23, there is a new app of the day, that you need to review. Each day, there is a winner, who receives a $20 Windows Phone Store App voucher, that is deemed to have the most creative entry. Then, on Christmas Eve (Dec 24) one of the lucky winners of the voucher, will also win a Lumia 1020. Full T&Cs are here |
Former Nokia MD for India and MEA becomes Pepsi Co India’s Chairman and CEO Posted: 09 Dec 2013 02:47 PM PST D Shivakumar, previously heading Nokia India and Middle East and Africa for 8 years until June 2013, is now Pepsi Co India’s Chairman and CEO. His stint at Nokia apparently showed how he could take a multi-billion dollar business to the next level. Pepsi Co India has been working without a chief since their last one ditched them to go to Cadbury Kraft. Well there’s one previous Nokia ‘CEO’ going to another CEO position.

Posted: 09 Dec 2013 02:37 PM PST Initially, I thought this might be a sleek ‘other half’ style cover but it’s actually more of a protective cover that you put over the whole phone as opposed to being a swappable case (e.g. attempts with the 820). It’s interesting nonetheless so see such home made accessories. I modified a case for my 1020 some months ago but due to schedule/exams and whatnot I’ve not been able to post about them! I should be ‘free’ from next Tuesday till Xmas so I’ll try and post about it then. Anyway, more pictures of this case at http://www.minifactory.fi/3d-printed-jolla-cover Cheers Janne for the tip! |
Sailfish OS Updated to 1.0.1.10 Posted: 09 Dec 2013 07:14 AM PST Sailfish OS has gotten its first update, titled “Laadunjärvi” and brings a LONG list of changes. The first Sailfish device has barely been in the market a week, and there is already an update. If Jolla keeps up this pace, they’ve already learnt from their time at Nokia about what not to do.

Posted: 09 Dec 2013 05:20 AM PST It’s been a while since we looked at Statcounter, so here’s Janne checking up on how it’s doing now the S40 glitch is ‘fixed’. Cheers Janne! _____ We have been following Nokia’s adventures on StatCounter e.g. in Finland to gather some input into how the “installed base” evolves, through web usage proxy measurement. One baffling topic was the Series 40 situation (http://mynokiablog.com/2013/ It does seem like, though, that this was the case per their August update and the rise was because of foreign traffic routed through Nokia’s servers – and indeed, as such, was anomalous. So, even though Asha 503 (http://mynokiablog.com/2013/ In the image the August update, plus StatCounter’s Mobile OS situation in Finland as of now. It is again easier to follow the progress now that the Series 40 anomaly has been removed. Windows Phone has risen compared to before the time Series 40 anomaly, but seems to have flat-lined this autumn. Whether or not that is related to the Nokia D&S news, lack of new Lumia products or just lack of further growth demand is harder to tell. It will be interesting to see how and when Finland’s perception of the soon-formerly-Nokia products evolves over time. |
NokConv: THE NEW BH-121: COOL, COLOURFUL AND SQUARE Posted: 09 Dec 2013 04:35 AM PST Nokia Conversations has unveiled the Nokia BH-121 (aka Guru), a wireless bluetooth headset we have been expecting for a fair while. Coming in a range of colours (yellow, red, cyan and black), the BH-121 is the perfect Lumia headset, having a small (at least in my opinion) footprint of just 39 mm x 39 mm x 12 mm. It will be on sale from this month, priced at €39

5″ Sammy WP Rumoured: Sammy tries to silence user whose S4 caught fire Posted: 09 Dec 2013 12:01 AM PST There’s some rumours that the Giant Samsung may not have completely given up on WP as a new 5″ device has been seen in some Indian import records (5″, 1080p, S800 – via WMPU). In other Samsung related news, this is something we should get used to now regarding their shifty practices (e.g. leaving bloggers behind if they don’t act as PR, something Nokia came in to the rescue for; having a mass of fake hate for competitor handsets on forums; doctored benchmark results; copied handsets on the coat tails of something famous). Neowin reports of a user slapped with a NDA, asking them to take down a video showing their Galaxy S4 catching fire. Not really the best way to deal with your customers. Now that same guy is on video talking about the NDA.
Video has some profanity.
Funnily enough, just last week I saw a user tweet about their Nokia that had a problem. There was an exchange already on the way but the user didn’t want to be left without a phone. Nokia asked for their details to resolve it. Done, done and done. Anyway would explain that more but gtg. |
