How to FORCE update Lumia WP7.5 to Windows Phone 7.8 | Tutorial
December 17, 2012 | Saijo George 39
There was concerns that the Windows Phone 7.8 update was going to be on a slow roll out for the lumia family of devices. A new firmware build of Windows Phone 7.8 ( build 8858 ) has been spotted over at NaviFirm for a number of Lumia devices like the 510, 610, 710, 800, and 900. This can only mean that the official roll out is going to happen very soon, perhaps they want to give us this update for Christmas ? In any case if you want to jump the queue and put WP7.8 on your phone right now , we got a video that will run you through the process. ( WARNING : as always you are on you own if you decide to go down this path , any issues that may arise out of this is all on you and you are likely going to void any warranty in the process )

Nokia Lumia 800 lives to tell the tale after a MACH 5 wind tunnel test
April 24, 2012 | Saijo George 1
HyperSonic Lumia 800
Here is something that serves no really purpose to most of us , unless ofcourse you are a stunt pilot or something and decides to exit the aircraft with the lumia 800 out of your pocket .. but even then its nice to know that the Lumia can take a good pounding and still work with no issue. When people have too much time and money they might decide to do crazy experiments like this.
Can the Nokia Lumia 800 survive the extreme pressures of a MACH 5 wind tunnel? That’s the question we’re here to find out. To give you some idea of the stresses and strains the smartphone will be going through, MACH 5 is classed as ‘hypersonic’, something akin to a jet pilot going into a nose dive.With that in mind, buckle in, sit back and prepare to see the Nokia Lumia 800 in the ride of it’s life!

Microsoft might not have done it but Nokia sure is doing it ..
March 15, 2012 | Saijo George 13… I am taking about Advertising Windows Phone to the masses. The marketing efforts of Microsoft ( in Australia ) in regards to Windows Phone was well, not enough by any means there were hardly any TV ads .. there were a few in the beginning but then it just faded away. But Nokia has been quite busy marketing their Lumia series in Australia from interactive giant lumia 800s in the street , TV ads and even full page ads in Newspapers .. MX is a popular free newspaper in Melbourne , most commuters pick it up on their way back home and in Melbourne their readership is over to 300,000 and when you put an ad like this , it will get noticed .. look and learn Microsoft. ( excludes Ben Rudolph, that guy is a super star .. one of the few left since Brandon Watson left Microsoft )

Nokia Lumia 800 firmware 12070 available in Singapore
The Finns at Nokia have started rolling out their latest firmware for the Lumia 800 that addresses several bugs; primarily their third attempt at fixing the battery bug that has plagued many Lumia 800 owners, a camera mode change from Macro back to Normal which gives crisper close-up photos, Camera white balance has been looked at, the shutter sound option has been removed and there has been an audio fix which is claimed to give better bass when using headphones. Nokia have also updated the ‘on-device diagnostics tool’ which now has omissions in the Battery Status area. The update has been reported to still have a few bugs remaining, for example, if your volume is set to 10/30 and you plug the phone into the mains to charge, the phone beeps at full volume.
