Nokia have been dropping hints and then announcing about a white Lumia 800, It seems the handset maker have two more colours of polycarbonate lined up for the device to give it more zing.
Im not sure if Microsoft will be pleased or annoyed by this, but the Dreamboard developers on iOS have released a theme called ‘Metro 8′ for the iPhone 4, It resembles the Windows 8 Developer Preview and could be what Windows Phone 8 will look like. with the colours and icon pictures, the theme is not fully functional as not all apps work with the theme, a bit like the homebrew app’folders’ on Windows Phone 7 where you need the GUID and image to launch the app.
Nokia launched the Lumia 710 and Lumia 800 in Malaysia yesterday and they kicked off the event with a huge party at the pavilion, there were loads of prizes and give-aways with the chance to buy Nokia’s new phones and accessories. The entire event was covered by smashpop.net with of loads pictures and videos of the launch party.
Nokia’s Head of Imaging Experience, Damian Dinning, has announced further confirmation of Nokia’s intent to update the camera software on the Lumia 800 via his twitter feed. The camera update should improve the way the pictures are encoded, meaning better pictures from the Carl Zeiss 8 MegaPixel camera to you and me.
Twitter user @vbandi (András Velvárt) the developer of Surfcube, tweeted us recently with some usage statistics from his third party browser app. The usage stats show the Finnish giant Nokia topping the charts, with their Lumia 800 leading the way, with a total of 13.9% of all sessions on Windows Phone 7 between 02/02/12 and 02/09/12.
I recently wrote an article about ZTE announces more Windows Phones with the intention of ZTE entering into ‘high end’ handsets along with their budget model, the ZTE Tania. It seems that before they even started selling the device in the UK they are already slashing the prices to be even more competitive in the marketplace for Sim-Free handsets and cheap contract agreements with relatively short terms.
arika: Hi! I installed the care suite and it connects my phone (Lumia 800). But it won’t show any information. There is a small box at the bottom which is green at your screenshot. Mine...
Edwin: I wonder how fast does WP7 start an Unreal Engine or Unity powered game?
Shinho: Ben needs to come on over to the UK. [Posted from the 1800PocketPC app]
