Nokia Lumia 610 Review (Global)
The Nokia Lumia 610 is the affordable compatriot of the current Nokia flagship: the Nokia Lumia 900. The Lumia 610 has taken to its budget-smartphone label with some pretty serious aplomb, boasting heavily toned-down hardware and specs in order to keep costs low. The real question is whether or not this Windows Phone 7.5 powered device suffers from its lack of impressive internals. To find out read on as we continue our Nokia Lumia 610 review.
Windows Phone 8 Finally Announced
Hot on the heels of its Surface tablet announcement, Microsoft has finally unveiled Windows Phone 8. The new version of the increasingly popular OS is a significant improvement over its predecessors and has been almost completely rebuilt from the ground up. However, the new features and abilities have come at a price; because Windows Phone 8 is such a radical switch all current Windows Phone devices running WP7 or WP7.5 Mango will not be able to upgrade to Windows Phone 8. The news has come as a blow to WP users, many of which have only just made the switch by purchasing the recently released Nokia Lumia 900.

The Lumia 710 is the mid-range forerunner of Nokia’s new Windows Phone (WP) Lumia range of smartphones.

Samsung Planning iCloud Competitor
We’ve been hearing talk that Samsung is looking to release its own cloud service, currently known as ‘S-Cloud’, in order to compete with Apple’s popular iCloud.

Nokia Lumia 800 Review
The Lumia 800 is the head-runner for Nokia’s new Windows Phone (WP) focus. Boasting the same stylish design as the Nokia N9, the Lumia 800 also comes running Windows Phone Mango, the first major update of the WP operating system (OS). We were certainly excited at the prospect of getting our hands on one to see if Nokia has what it takes to get back in the game with its new handset direction and overall we’d have to say that we weren’t disappointed.
Nokia World 2012 Will Be In Helsinki
We have admit that we’ve never been too excited about a Nokia World event before. Until Nokia made the move to Windows Phone its new and upcoming devices always seemed to be a little lacklustre when compared to the cutting edge designs of the competition. As an operating system (OS), Symbian simply couldn’t keep up with iOS, Android and even BlackBerry OS. This meant that no matter what Nokia did it always seemed around a full generation behind what anyone else was doing.
Nokia PureView on Windows Phone
It was puzzling to say the least when Nokia unveiled its new 808 PureView camera-centric smartphone at MWC. Puzzling not because of its niche target market, nor because of its seemingly overpowered 41MP sensor. What really had us scratching our heads was that Nokia was proudly announcing this fantastic new camera technology and that it was headed straight for the all-but-dead Symbian operating system (OS).
