In the mobile space, while most hardware OEMs are multi-million dollar corporations with tens of thousands of employees, only a select few are turning a profit and thriving. Even some of the most reputable brands in the industry – HTC, Motorola, LG, Huawei, etc. – are struggling to get a foothold in the smartphone realm. With major re-branding and a fresh start in 2011 and the beginning of 2012, we didn't exactly expect Nokia to recover from years of turbulence overnight. But we did hope it would impact the company … positively. Now, over one year later, the company is still slipping ...

You've seen us go hands-on with Nokia's new Lumia 925. You've seen us check out the color options available for the handset, and even how it measures-up to the Lumia 920 and 928. Our Lumia 925 coverage continues as we see how the latest Windows Phone 8 handset looks when put up against two of the heaviest hitters over on the Android side of the fence, Samsung's Galaxy S 4 and the HTC One. Obviously, the GS4 and One have the 925 out-classed from a raw silicon standpoint, but there's so much more that contributes to making a phone the phone that is than just the processor. Will the 925's ...

The Nokia Lumia 925 broke cover at an announcement in London early this morning, putting the icing on a busy season of announcements from everyone's favorite Finnish phone fabricator. An intermediate update to Nokia's WP8 family, the Lumia 925 doesn't pack a mind-blowing feature set. That's no surprise given its minor numeric increase over last year's flagship, and a look at the spec sheet confirms that the new 925 shares a lot of DNA with its predecessor. We're looking at the same dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4, the same 1GB of RAM, and the same display size of 4.5" - though here it's ...

The new Lumia 925 will be offered in black and silver. Sometimes when devices are offered in different colors you only get small accents of the color. In the case of the 925, your choice of black or silver will determine the color of the soft-touch backing as well as the aluminum edges, which can be seen from the front of the device, so you'll definitely be able to tell the difference between the two. As is usually the case, silver is the color to get if you want to hide fingerprints, but the black looks stealthy and clean. Which would you choose?

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 ...

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 ...
