Nokia, a Finnish smartphone company was founded in 1871. What started as a paper manufacturing company evolved into one of the worlds largest and well known names in the mobile device market. Nokia currently works mostly with smartphones and mobile software. In early 2011 the company's new CEO, Stephen Elop signed a strategic partnership with Microsoft where Microsoft will gain access to Nokia's mobile services such as Ovi Maps and Nokia would adopt Windows Phone 7 as an operating system for their new smartphones over the company's own Symbian OS.

    Nokia will bring the PureView 808's revolutionary 41-megapixel camera - or at least something darn near equivalent to it - to Windows Phone. Rumors have been looking to a device codenamed the EOS to deliver such a sensor, but even if doesn't arrive in that particular form, it will one way or another. After all, that tech was the last great hurrah for Symbian, and with Symbian now out to pasture, it's only logical to let it continue on with Windows Phone. A lot of advocates have been looking forward to the launch of just such a model as one of the great triumphs of Windows Phone 8, but I ...

    For those of you that were wondering where Nokia plans to push the Nokia Lumia 925, well the wait and curiosity only lasted a couple of minutes. T-Mobile USA has just confirmed that they will be carrying the device in the USA, and their variant will definitely pack the LTE that take advantage of their new network. According to T-Mobile, the Nokia Lumia 925 will be their first Windows Phone 8 to pack LTE, which now sheds some light as to why the company refused to provide the functionality to the Lumia 810 recently. Sadly T-Mobile wasn't clear as to when the device will launch on the ...

    We've been teased for the last couple of weeks with a unique Windows Phone 8 update that Nokia will bring to their Lumia line-up with the idea of bringing additional features to both new, and even existing Lumia hardware. Alongside with the announcement of the Nokia Lumia 925, the company has also announced that their "Nokia Amber" update should reach all current Nokia Lumia handsets in July as part of their GDR2 update to Windows Phone 8. Among the features, this update brings FM radio support to ever Lumia except for the 620, which doesn't include the hardware capabilities for FM Radio. ...

    Nokia's London event is currently underway, and while the presentation finishes to allow us to film some of the hands-on coverage you're waiting for, the company has just made their new Nokia Lumia 925 official. There are a lot of design enhancements that make this phone stand apart from both the Nokia Lumia 920 that was launched six months ago, and also the Nokia Lumia 928 that will reach Verizon in the next coming weeks. For starters, the Nokia Lumia 925 is made of the Aluminum frame that we've been waiting for in the codename: catwalk leaks we've been teased for months now. This makes ...

    While Nokia's busy teasing its hardware for tomorrow's announcement, we might just be getting one last early, unofficial look of our own, with a couple new renders surfacing, purporting to be the Lumia 925. We only get this front-angle look and a side view, but we can still see what appear to be the trademark metallic edges. On the side view, we can just barely make out a camera bulge, which definitely has us thinking about the leaked Catwalk pic from last month, with the same tell-tale design. Of course, looks aren't everything, and we are still searching for confirmation of much of the ...

    On the eve of their big London announcement, Nokia might have a problem. Once, far and away the favorite to take Microsoft on a ride of profit and swing dancing, Nokia has failed to take advantage of it's position as Fresh Prince of Windows Phone to gain any significant market share.  Windows Phone still finds itself an uber-distant third in the smartphone marketplace and while Nokia has done an admirable job making quality hardware, it hasn't quite gotten the job done in the flying off the shelves department. Now Microsoft might have to take the reins and ride this horse to the finish ...

    Now that we already know everything about the Nokia Lumia 928, we won't lie that we're all intrigued over what's in-store for Nokia's next event to happen on May 14th. Our own Anton D. Nagy has just arrived in London a couple of hours ago and is ready to bring you all the live coverage your heart can stand, and as a Nokia Ad has begun teasing recently, there seems to be something cool coming from Finland. As it stands, the Nokia codename Catwalk is what we're expecting to see on Tuesday. The device is expected to bring the groundbreaking 808 PureView camera technology along with the first ...

    You don't have to look back very far in time to recall a vastly different mobile market with a wide array of offerings. Smartphones and feature phones alike came in all many different shapes and sizes, and moving parts were in – displays that pivoted, swiveled, and twisted around, or keyboards that clumsily tucked under the display. Back then, a trip to the carrier store was an adventure. I was still a young whippersnapper and had only recently discovered the vast realm of smartphones and mobile data. And back then, I didn't research before buying a new phone, I put no forethought into ...

    After advertising material for the Nokia Lumia 928 surfaced a little early, Nokia dropped any pretense that the phone was still secret and has spent this week releasing additional 928 promotional content. Still, we've wondered when the wave would finally crest and we'd get a proper announcement and all. There's Nokia's London event next week, but a UK event for a Verizon launch never made much sense. Instead, Nokia and Verizon have decided to play this one low-key, forgoing any formal press event and simply announcing the 928's arrival this morning. The Lumia 928 launch will come to ...

    Last month, T-Mobile announced the crazy-low "I can't believe that's for a smartphone" price for the Nokia Lumia 521, which is selling for a mere $150, free of contractual obligation. At the time, we got the scoop on early HSN sales, as well as the phone's eventual arrival at Walmart and Microsoft retail stores. That was exciting news, but it wasn't quite the whole story of the 521's launch. Today we fill in a few missing bits, as availability of the 521 really starts taking off. We already knew Microsoft was getting the 521 on May 11, but since then the phone's pricing has become ...

The Finnish phone maker emphasizes on the distortion-free recording on its upcoming Lumia phone while the ...
