Lingering concerns that Nokia might not upgrade all its Windows Phone 7.5 roster to 7.8 might have just been put to rest. Just a day after updates for the Lumia 510 and 800 were caught on Nokia's servers through NaviFirm, updates have also been spotted for those devices that didn't make the initial cut: the Lumia 610, 710 and 900 have all appeared, each with numerous region-specific updates in tow. Their existence still doesn't constitute a formal update, so be aware that you're gambling with your phone's health if you install them without any word from Microsoft or Nokia. Suffice it to say ...

Nokia Lumia 520 hands-on (update: video!)

www.engadget.com Brad Molen 82 days ago

Did you think the Nokia Lumia 620 was a solid enough smartphone to shake up emerging markets, thanks to its low cost? Say hello to the Lumia 520, which at an estimated cost of $183 will be one of the (if not the) least expensive Windows Phone 8 devices once it comes out later this quarter. It's attracted a commitment from T-Mobile in the US (timeframe not yet specified) and other carriers around the world, so we're likely going to see a lot more of this little beaut in the future. Naturally, it's time for a face-to-face introduction. The Lumia brand as a whole is very consistent in its overa... Read similar

Nokia Lumia 900 for AT&T may get Windows Phone 7.8 on January 30th

www.engadget.com Jon Fingas 108 days ago

There's been hints of a Windows Phone 7.8 update looming for the AT&T-spec Lumia 900, but little sign of a real timetable. As it turns out, owners hoping to move beyond 7.5 might be satisfied very quickly. Engadget has obtained an AT&T memo that claims the upgrade is rolling out on January 30th -- as in, tomorrow. We don't see any tweaks mentioned beyond what Microsoft itself said last year, although any update would most likely include Nokia-specific extras on top of the official package. We've reached out to AT&T, Microsoft and Nokia, and we'll let you know if they provide tang... Read similar

If you’re talking about the Microsoft mobile operating system Windows Phone 8 and you want to think about how it might survive the next few years, you’d better be thinking about how to get the newest version of the OS into customers hands for free – and Nokia’s doing just that.

In the light of yesterday’s well-received unveiling of the new Nokia Lumia 925 flagship phone, we grabbed 15 minutes with Nokia’s VP of European Sales and Marketing, Chris Weber, and asked him where Nokia’s future lies.His response? Unequivocally in “the Windows Phone camp”. But why has the Finnish mobile giant so recklessly thrown all its eggs into a basket lined with the most derided of operating systems when its very survival is in question? Simply it seems because everyone at Nokia, from developers to execs, is convinced the Windows ecosystem offers the most c... Read similar

Nokia today filed its 20-F financial report for the last fiscal year, in which it reiterated its projections for the next year ahead on device sales and margins for both devices and services, as well as for its Nokia Siemens Networks division. Perhaps more interestingly, it also spelled out some more detail on how much Nokia stands to gain this year in its Microsoft partnership to develop Lumia devices based on Windows Phone, Redmond's flagship mobile operating system, but pay out more overall.Read similar

Windows Phones Still Don't Have Good Apps, So Nokia Had To Make An Instagram Clone For Its New Lumia (NOK, MSFT)

www.businessinsider.com Steve Kovach 4 days ago

Nokia announced another variation of its top-tier Lumia line of smartphones today called the Lumia 925. Internally, the phone is nearly identical to two other phones in the company's Windows Phone lineup, the Lumia 920 and Lumia 928. However, since these devices run on Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 operating system, they don't have access to many of the popular smartphone apps Android and iPhone users enjoy –– most notably, Instagram. That's why along with its new phone announcement today, Nokia showed off a new social camera app called Oggl, which is made by the same company that ma... Read similar

Nokia Lumia 510 will skip Mango, land with Windows Phone 7.8 on board

www.engadget.com Deepak Dhingra 152 days ago

Nokia's Lumia 510 was toting Mango when we saw it last, but it seems the affordable smartphone will be hitting Indian stores with Windows Phone 7.8 instead. The new iteration, which is starting to filter down to other Lumia handsets, boasts a smorgasbord of new goods including resizable home screen tiles and 20 accent colors, with Espoo likely to add a few Lumia-specific features such as an enhanced set of camera lenses and improved contact sharing. While the lure of something lurking between WP7.8 and the more child-friendly version 8 could spice up the deal further, budget-minded Indian cu... Read similar

Here's Some Bad News If You Bought A Windows Phone This Year (MSFT)

www.businessinsider.com Steve Kovach 173 days ago

Earlier this year, Microsoft and Nokia showed off a new flagship Windows Phone, the Lumia 900. This was the phone that was finally going to make the Windows Phone OS a viable contender against Apple's iOS and Google's Android, they said. The "smartphone beta test was over," they said. A few short months later, we learned the Lumia 900 was dead in the water. Its hardware wasn't compatible with Windows Phone 8, the new version of the operating system that was set to launch in the fall. In short, Lumia 900 owners and owners of other Windows Phones wouldn't be eligible for the latest and greatest ... Read similar

Rethinking the flagship: The case for Nokia's Lumia 620

www.engadget.com Mat Smith 91 days ago

It's easy to dismiss the Lumia 620 as yet another cheaply-priced smartphone, but that isn't the case. In fact, Nokia's latest release made me completely rethink Windows Phone. Sure, the mobile OS lacks the app selection of its rivals, but maybe I didn't need them to begin with. Maybe I didn't need the same processor found in rival Android devices to run an OS that's generally much lighter and more direct. Perhaps Nokia thought the same thing, because in reading over the Lumia 620's spec sheet, there's a lot of decidedly low-to-middleweight hardware. But it's hundreds of dollars less than the...

The Best New Smartphones Of 2012 (GOOG, AAPL)

www.businessinsider.com Steve Kovach 173 days ago

Smartphones have changed a lot this year. In January, a 5.5-inch "phablet" seemed absurd. Today, millions of people own one. And that's just one example of how our phones have changed. We rounded up the most important new smartphone releases of 2012 to give you a quick look at how far we've come. How we picked the phones: We're not just judging these devices on how good or bad they were. We also took into account how they pushed innovation forward with new form factors, useful features, and the like. We judged the phones based on the time they were released, so some may seem outdated. But that... Read similar

Nokia begins its Windows Phone 7.8 upgrade rollout (video)

www.engadget.com Jon Fingas 107 days ago

Talk of Microsoft finally deploying Windows Phone 7.8 has been building to a crescendo -- and we're glad to confirm it's more than just noise. The more customizable home and lock screens, Marketplace improvements and numerous under-the-hood upgrades are rolling out to all of Nokia's Windows Phone 7.5 devices, starting today and continuing through February. The company hasn't confirmed who goes first, although AT&T's Lumia 900 is believed to be part of the earliest wave. Other upgrades will depend on carrier timing, if you're using a locked phone, but the plan to push 7.8 is still good ne... Read similar
