LAUNCH OF NOKIA LUMIA 900 SMARTPHONE!

January 30, 2012 admin No comments

One of the hottest new products which are going to make a mark in mobile world is Lumia 900, a Windows Phone-based Smartphone which has a flashy set of features that makes it competitive with the best alternatives offered by the Android camp. This hot product will be Nokia’s first step to reclaim its market share. Combined with Nokia’s efforts to drive the development of the Windows Phone ecosystem, the Lumia 900 and its successors will help Microsoft to reclaim its No. 2 ranking in Smartphone operating system market share in 2015.

The Lumia 900 will reportedly launch this March, running Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7.5 .Nokia’s migration from its Symbian OS to Windows Phone will benefit not only Microsoft, but the Smartphone maker as well. The Lumia 900’s 4.3-inch touch screen display and 12-megapixel camera will make it a strong contender in consumer markets and its access to Microsoft will give it a boost in the corporate world.

The Lumia 900 also supports the Long Term Evolution (LTE) 4G standards, a feature that IHS iSuppli believes will stir up a particularly positive response within North America – a region the Finland-based Nokia doesn’t typically target.

A CLOSE COMPARISON WITH NOKIA LUMIA 800

Well, now one can put the Nokia Lumia 900 side-by-side with the Nokia Lumia 800 to get a good look at the subtle differences between these great Nokia Windows Phones. And there is certainly more to differentiate the two handsets than initially meets the eye.

To start with we can say that the top of the Nokia Lumia 900 is slightly different than the Nokia Lumia 800. While the Lumia 800 features its charging port beneath a small plastic cover, the Lumia 900 instead leaves its port exposed, making it quicker and easier to connect a cable and power up your phone on the move.

Next, when viewing the rear of the Nokia Lumia 900 compared to the Lumia 800, you can see that the LED flash is placed differently on each device. While the Lumia 800’s LED flash is located directly above the camera, when viewed vertically, the Lumia 900’s flash is instead set to the left of the lens.

And finally, while the Nokia Lumia 800 features a unique curved piece of Corning Gorilla Glass on its gorgeous 3.7-inch AMOLED panel, which seems to raise images from the screen, the Nokia Lumia 900 instead opts for a flat display. What effect this will have on image quality – if any – is yet to be seen.

All in all, however, both the Nokia Lumia 900 and Nokia Lumia 800 are very similar looking devices which both pack bags of style that make all other Windows Phones look truly dated and boring by comparison. We can’t wait to give the Lumia 900 a try and we’ll bring you full details on how it measures up as soon as we can.

Nokia Lumia 800 – Result of Microsoft-Nokia Joint Venture!

January 16, 2012 admin No comments

Nokia’s Lumia 800 is one of the most significant Smartphone on the horizon. It may lack the absurdly high-end specs of current Android handsets, and it doesn’t have the hype of Apple’s iPhone, but for Nokia and Microsoft, the Lumia 800 represents the viability of their joint mobile future.

For one, the Lumia 800 looks and feels completely unlike any phone on the market — except of course Nokia’s own N9, an experimental MeeGo phone that served as the launching point for the Lumia’s design. Its curved glass display makes the imagery from its eye-bleedingly sharp 3.7-inch AMOLED display almost jump out at you. The Lumia’s screen is described as “ClearBlack” because of its uncanny ability to display truly dark, inky blacks, a sign of a high-quality display.

Eschewing the typical metal or plastic shells of its competitors, the Lumia 800 features a unibody polycarbonate case, available in black, cyan, and magenta. Since the colors run straight through the polycarbonate case — instead of just being painted on — nicks and scratches are virtually unnoticeable.

The phone features Windows Phone 7.5, also known as “Mango.” Unlike other manufacturers in Microsoft’s harem, Nokia was also able to include some of its own unique apps, like Nokia Drive, Maps, and Music. (Nokia’s less-expensive Lumia 710 Windows Phone also includes these apps.) The inclusion of Nokia Music is confusing, given that it’s completely separate from Microsoft’s Zune store and app.

As is typical for a high-end Nokia phone, the Lumia 800 features a killer 8-megapixel camera with a Carl Zeiss lens. The phone can also shoot 720p high-definition video at 30 frames per second. Long before Apple’s iPhone 4 and 4S cameras wowed consumers, Nokia was shoving quality sensors into its phones. For many consumers, especially in America, the Lumia 800 will be the first taste of just how well Nokia can put together a phone shooter.

Nokia can focus on developing its killer hardware without worrying about managing an operating system of its own. And of course, Windows Phone once again gives Nokia a gateway to the US phone market. Nokia has been struggling to land phone deals with US carriers since before the iPhone was released, and the advent of Apple’s uber-popular smartphone certainly didn’t help things. As the premiere Windows Phone maker, carriers will be fighting tooth and nail for Nokia’s phones.

For Microsoft, the Lumia 800 proves that it chose wisely by teaming up with Nokia. Even though it’s already working with popular phone makers like Samsung and HTC, Microsoft’s partnership with Nokia is unprecedented, and it will open doors for Windows Phone internationally.
