HTC Windows Phone 8X Review
The HTC Windows Phone 8X is HTC’s current Windows Phone 8 flagship device that, while doing nothing to slow HTC’s growing reputation for questionable names, has seen its fair share of popularity in the WP market. Sporting thoroughly modern hardware, the elegant WP8 UI and stylish case design make for a blending of power and visual appeal that’s rarely seen in the handset market. But looks and specs aren’t everything, so we grabbed one ourselves to check it out in our own Windows Phone 8X review.
Nokia Lumia 720, 520 and 620
The Nokia Lumia 720 and Lumia 520 were announced at the MWC event in Barcelona yesterday and, while the Lumia 620 isn’t really ‘news’, we haven’t given it too much love either so we thought that now was a good time to rectify that. The Lumia series has been doing fairly well overall and, since the launch of Windows Phone 8 (WP8), we’ve noticed a marked increase in our personal observations of people walking around with a brightly colored Lumia in public and even in the general public’s awareness of Nokia’s growing presence as a brand.

Nokia Lumia 920 Review
The Nokia Lumia 920 is Nokia’s first flagship device for the new Windows Phone 8 platform. Complete with Nokia’s increasingly iconic unibody polycarbonate design, ClearBlack HD display technology and the new PureView camera, the Lumia 920 has a good chance of being the best Windows Phone yet.
Hopes For the Mobile World in 2013
We have high hopes for the mobile world in 2013. If the past few years are any indicator, mobile technology should move forward an impressive amount within the next 12 months. Usually what we’ve seen is a lot of rumor and speculation for the first half of a year followed by an absolute explosion of new devices and services in the months from July to October.
Lumia 920 Hands-On 1st Impressions
We finally have our very own Nokia Lumia 920 to play with, right on the heels of our Lumia 820 review. The Lumia 920, for those who haven’t been keeping up, is Nokia’s new flagship Lumia device for the Windows Phone 8 platform. As such, it should pack more of a punch than the Lumia 820 and impress us enough to offset its higher price and top-dog status.
Nokia Lumia 820 Review
The Nokia Lumia 820 is one of the two debut smartphones for Nokia on the new Windows Phone 8 platform. Of the two, the Lumia 820 is the lower-end model and is aimed at the mid-range handset market. Despite playing second fiddle to Nokia’s current flagship, the Lumia 820 is still a surprisingly powerful and solid smartphone.
Nokia Lumia 620 Unveiled
Nokia’s next Lumia Windows Phone 8 device, the Nokia Lumia 620, has been unveiled. The Lumia 620 will be a more affordable option than either the Lumia 920 or 820, aiming itself at the lower ends of the smartphone market. We’ve seen previously that Windows Phone is a fantastic platform for budget devices, as the simplistic yet beautiful UI can still impress, even on a smaller screen and with lower resolution. Another benefit is that Windows Phone is a much more closed UI than something like Android.
The Mobile World After Nov 2012
A little over 12 months ago we posted an article about the mobile world after August 2011. In it we detailed some of the more interesting things that had happened that year, as well as some of the bigger stories. We also tried our best to get our readers to take a step back and look at the tech world from the outside.
Can Windows Phone Convert Parents?
Many parents can attest that their smartphones and gadgets are a brilliant distraction for youngsters – but although letting kids play around with your device might give you some much-needed peace, it also adds the worry of just what exactly they’re getting up to. Without sufficient parental control, it’s only too easy for your little ones to access things not fit for young eyes, alter your settings and delete valuable data, or go on a social networking spree and post cute (but gibberish) status updates.
