Time was, you couldn't get a 9xx-series Lumia on any U.S. carrier but AT&T. For over a year, the nation's second-largest wireless provider has exerted a fierce stranglehold on the high-end Nokia segment, forcing competing carriers to offer only midrange handsets if they wanted to carry the finnish OEM's wares. Things change, though. The Nokia Lumia 928 is the first Lumia flagship to cross the blue/red divide, and it's already available from America's largest carrier, Verizon Wireless. The Lumia 928 resembles a Lumia 920 that discovered the beauty of right angles - but there's more here ...

Watch today's Pocketnow Daily as we talk about LG's new Optimus GJ and what's different from the previous Optimus G, if there really is any difference. Then we talk about Microsoft and how it had to water-down its YouTube app for Windows Phone 8 due to a petition from Google. Speaking of Google, their new Google Drive is next as it got significantly revamped in mobile. The Nokia EOS project is next as we go through a possible launch date. We end today's show talking about how the news show an HTC quietly sinking due to some major departures in their staff. All this and more after the ...

While we didn't get a chance to see Nokia's rumored EOS, a 41-megapixel PureView Windows Phone handset, at the company's press event the other week, hope remains that this smartphone is still in the running to make its debut soon. We've recently looked into rumors from sources claiming to have had a glimpse at the hardware, but weren't left with a clearer idea of when the phone might launch, other than maybe sometime this summer. Today we start narrowing that down, with a specific launch date rumored. Supposedly, the EOS could arrive during the second week of July, with July 9 mentioned as ...

Watch today's Pocketnow Daily as we talk about Sony's launch of the Xperia Tablet Z, price points and the reason why it's worth your money. We then move into Apple territory as reports call the next-generation iPad ready for trial production. Later it's HTC in the news as we talk about a Google HTC One in the works and when we assume it might be launched. Then we talk about Nokia and their LiveSight technology reaching their Here Maps application for almost every other device that supports it. We end today's show talking about Samsung's possible project to bring Galaxy fingerprint scanning ...

Samsung Galaxy S 4 vs HTC One vs Apple iPhone 5 vs Nokia 808 PureView; that's the comparison we've been waiting to do ever since this year's flagship Android models came out. That also happens to be the camera comparison most requested by you. So, here it is! We've reviewed all of these phones and, at that time, we compared them against other competitors; this time it's them playing against each-other. While we know that the Apple iPhone 5 is the oldest amongst the best-sellers -- with a refresh due soon -- and the Nokia 808 PureView is more than a year old now, but still regarded by many ...

Last Friday we were excited about the week ahead, this week, as it contained two days circled with very promising events: Nokia's Lumia 925 event in London and Google's I/O. Both came and passed, leaving us with a phone (or two), and ecosystem improvements. Depending on your expectations and standards your excitement probably either turned into delight or disappointment. Of course we'll talk about Nokia and Google I/O reactions, since they're the most recent (and probably among the last until the next big event of the year bringing us the next iPhone), and you can tell us why you're happy ...

It's time to be skeptical! The "real PureView" Windows Phone was not unveiled at the London event on the 14th of May despite many were hoping for the rumored Nokia EOS to appear. Instead, we got the Lumia 925 and some more time to dream about the 41-megapixel Windows Phone. The rumors and reports continue though, with the latest talking about the EOS. Someone has allegedly seen the phone and said that it's a polycarbonate phone as thick as the Lumia 920 but heavily tapered towards the edges. To quote the rest: "The lens housing is round in shape and does not protrude much. The flash is ...

Last we checked, there are 52 weeks in a year - but you wouldn't know it, given the announcement schedule of some major players in the tech space. Companies vying for the attention of fickle consumers often stack their events one right after the other in a strategic attempt to undermine competitors, sometimes hosting major announcements just days -or even hours- apart. Sometimes, it's all a tech podcast team can do to keep up. Such a thing happened this week, with Nokia preempting Google's annual I/O developer conference with an announcement of its own: the Lumia 925, a mid-cycle Windows ...
