After today's Lumia 925 launch event, Nokia hosted a short question and answer session with the product managers for the Lumia 925 as well as the Smart Camera app. ...

BlackBerry has just announced that BlackBerry Messenger, the company's once-popular proprietary instant messaging client, will be launching on iOS (version 6 and later) and Android (version 4.0 and later) as a free app in "summer 2013". Support for basic messaging and groups will be implemented first, with other features such as voice, video and screen sharing to arrive later in the year. ...

BlackBerry (previously known as RIM) took the wraps off its latest BlackBerry 10 smartphone, the Q5. While the Z10 could be described rather accurately as an evolution of the old Storm and the Q10 is very reminiscent of the Bold lineup, the Q5 represents a modernization of the midrange Curve series, bringing BlackBerry 10 to a lower-cost market segment in an attempt to encourage greater uptake of the compan ...

At Nokia's launch event in London today, the company revealed Nokia Smart Camera, their new and full-fledged camera app that will first be made available on the Lumia 925 and rolled out to other Lumia devices at some point in the future. We managed to snag a 4 and a half minute demo video showing Smart Camera in action. Smart Camera can be set as the default camera app on your Lumia Windows Phone device, re ...

At Nokia's launch event in London today, we also got our hands on the newly-launched Lumia 928, which you'll recall is a Verizon Wireless exclusive for the USA. It shares many of its hardware specifications with its older sibling, the Lumia 920, but adds a more angular hardware design and a Xenon flash into the mix. Here's a closer look at it. ...

With just a day to go before Nokia unveils the long-rumoured Lumia 925, otherwise known as the "Catwalk", a low-resolution press photo has made its way onto the Internet, courtesy by the little-known @evleaks Twitter account. There's not much to see here apart from the fact that there will probably be silver and dark grey variants available at launch, a top-mounted earphone jack and what looks like a metal ...

Sony took the wraps off yet another variant of its flagship Xperia Z today, known as the Xperia ZR. While the ZR slots in below the Xperia Z and ZL in terms of hardware specifications, it sports a waterproof construction that is rated for up to 1.5m (IP55 and IP58 certified), a 4.6-inch 720p OLED display, the same quad-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 CPU as found in the Z and ZL, 2GB of RAM, LTE support, ...

I think it is obvious that my time with the E71 ended much sooner than expected, validating the opinion of my esteemed colleague, Yash, that I wouldn't be able to last 2 weeks with it. My SIM card is currently in my iPhone 4, and it will probably stay there for a while; I've spent the past couple of days rediscovering what actually makes iOS so appealing and I should have an editorial on that very topic on ...

My SIM card has gone back into my iPhone after a week with the Nokia E71. I just couldn't deal anymore. However, I wanted to share my thoughts about the E71's media capabilities before publishing my concluding writeup, which should be an interesting read. Arguably, the E71's most significant hardware limitation is that 3.2-megapixel camera on the back, simply because it just isn't very good. While I'm not a ...

Using the Nokia E71 has been a proper challenge, and I'm not really referring to S60 3rd edition being difficult to use. In all honesty, the real difficulty lies in getting the E71 to handle tasks that are considered typical of the modern smartphone. My semester break has ended. I've been back at school for a week, and things have been relatively busy from the get-go. We've all become very accustomed to the ...

I've spent 3 days using my Nokia E71 as my main smartphone, and I wanted to dedicate a post in the series to my experiences setting up the phone and preparing it for this 3-week stint. The initial setup process is an excellent benchmark of how much more user-friendly smartphones have become in the past few years, and the E71 genuinely feels like a smartphone from a different era even though its launch perio ...

Play with Photos is the very first game released by Vinmein, a 2-man indie game studio based in Singapore. At this point, I'll just leave you to watch my video review: The End. ...

There is something that Nokia does which has been irritating me for a while now. The company's insistence on branding what is rather obviously a line of feature-phones as smartphones is unmatched by any other company. Why is it irritating? Well, in my opinion, calling Asha phones "smartphones" is plainly incorrect. It does not take a great deal of intelligence to see that Asha phones are not even in the sam ...

A Nokia smartphone running Android has been a feature of our dreams and imaginations for a really long time. Ever since the Finnish handset maker adopted the nascent Windows Phone platform for virtually all of their future smartphones back in February 2011, many of us saw the company's refusal to build Android smartphones as a missed opportunity. We imagined that a Nokia Android phone would have top-notch m ...
