All this and more after ...

by Anton D. Nagy | May 17, 2013 5:45 AMRead OnIt'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 ...

by Stephen Schenck | May 14, 2013 8:26 AMRead OnNokia 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 ...

by Jaime Rivera | May 8, 2013 7:00 PMRead OnWatch today's Pocketnow Daily as we talk about Google's new offer to iOS developers to use Chrome as their navigation tool. LG is next as we talk about their probable tablet plans for the fall, along with their scheduled event for May 30th. Then let's talk about the HTC First which now gets a big price cut on AT&T, for reasons we can only assume. Samsung is next as we talk about the new galaxy devices that they'll release in the next coming months, and no, by new galaxy we don't mean the Galaxy S 4. We end today's show talking about Nokia, their EOS project, and how this can all become ...

by Anton D. Nagy | May 8, 2013 1:16 AMRead OnNokia is holding a May 14 event in London, and, according to rumors, the 41MP Nokia EOS will be unveiled. Depending on who you tend to believe, this might be the case or not. Digitimes quotes "market watchers" who seem to agree that this indeed might be the case. The Nokia EOS will allegedly be a high-end smartphone running Windows Phone. It will be purportedly equipped with a 41-megapixel camera sensor. Nokia is no stranger to imaging as the 808 PureView last year featured the gigantic sensor which made the phone the best camera-phone out there. The Lumia 920 brought another take on ...

by Stephen Schenck | April 25, 2013 12:23 PMRead OnThese last few months have had Nokia sitting on a whole bunch of rumored hardware. We wondered if we might get news of models like the metallic Catwalk or the PureView Lumia EOS at MWC, but the only new Lumias to surface then were the lower-end 720 and 520. When are we going to get to see the rest of this stuff? Well, we just might get our chance in a few weeks, as Nokia has just started distributing invitations to a May 14 London event. Make no mistake - this won't be another Asha announcement like that QWERTY model the company teased. We're absolutely going to learn about something in ...

by Jaime Rivera | April 15, 2013 7:00 PMRead OnWatch today's Pocketnow Daily as we talk about the Pantech Vega Iron leaks and the fact that companies still don't understand what a phone without a bezel means. Then we move to the Galaxy S 4 as rumors have the launch dates for the US already set for the end of this month. The iPhone 5S is next as we've got leaked images of an A7 quad-core chip powering the next generation device. Then we talk about the Nokia Lumia 928 and how it was compared to the Nokia Lumia 920. We end today's show by talking about the Nokia EOS project and the possibility that this will be the first quad-core Windows ...

by Stephen Schenck | April 15, 2013 12:42 PMRead OnIt seems like anyone even remotely interested in Nokia phones has been wondering when the company would bring the 41-megapixel PureView sensor from the 808 to its Windows Phone Lumia lineup. Rumors over the past several months teased at the phone's reveal, but it continues to be a ghost. Now some new gossip has it looking like the EOS might still be quite a while off, but could arrive with some pretty powerful hardware. Supposedly, Nokia has been evaluating two different hardware options for the EOS, including both a dual-core and a quad-core version. Ultimately, power consumption concerns ...

by Stephen Schenck | March 13, 2013 8:21 PMRead OnTomorrow's the big day. March 14. Now sure, if you're a math fan you're already excited about the opportunity to celebrate your favorite irrational constant, but this year in particular, the rest of us have reason to look forward to the fourteenth as well, with Samsung running its big Unpacked event. Short of out and saying it, the company's done pretty much everything it can to confirm that this will be the grand unveiling of the Galaxy S IV, the company's 2013 Android flagship. That's going to be great to hear, and we're itching for the opportunity to confirm the oh, so many details ...

by Stephen Schenck | March 1, 2013 3:40 PMRead OnSo far, it's seemed like smartphones offering rugged features like waterproof or dust resistance have lived over on the Android side of the fence, leaving users of other platforms to deal with bulky cases to get the same protection. Nokia may be looking to offer some of that peace of mind to Windows Phone users, as we're hearing that the company has partnered with P2i to release a phone featuring water-repelling nano-coating. Instead of focusing on keeping water out, P2i's technology is more concerned with keeping water that gets into your phone from causing any harm. Its coating process ...

by Michael Fisher | February 22, 2013 1:48 PMRead OnWe've been on-site for a full day in Barcelona, making preparations to cover one of the year's biggest mobile technology shows. Last night, we let you in on the fun and frustration of our pre-show planning on a special episode of the Pocketnow Weekly podcast. Later today, we're hosting a special MWC-focused episode of the Pocketnow Live broadcast. But right now, we'd like briefly to share our predictions, hopes, and dreams for MWC 2013. You know we're serious about this, because we stood out in the rain next to a major Barcelona landmark, and Tony wore his leather jacket. So quit yer ...

by Michael Fisher | February 21, 2013 7:15 PMRead OnIn the far-off reaches of Barcelona, two men fight for the right to party tell their tale. Battling narrow urban canyons, strange fast-food condiments, kielbasa-selling mobile-phone salesmen, and seagulls with voices only seagull mothers could love, they fight tooth and nail to share their story. The story of the wonders of mobile technology. You won't hear about all of the weird encounters that have greeted Anton D. Nagy and Michael Fisher since their arrival in Spain for the 2013 Mobile World Congress, but you'll definitely get a taste of what it's been like on the first harrowing day ...

by Stephen Schenck | February 18, 2013 12:28 PMRead OnWe're coming down to the wire on Nokia's MWC event, with just one week to go until we get to see what's new from the company. Our chance of seeing a tablet may be shot, but there are plenty of rumors about new smartphones that should keep us satisfied. Chances are, not everything we've heard about will make an appearance, but Nokia could still have a good number of new phones to show off. Just how many, though? According to the logs of one ad network serving Windows Phone apps, Nokia seems to have four new models in operation. Two of them are essentially locks: the Lumia 720 and Lumia 520, ...

by Stephen Schenck | February 12, 2013 11:35 AMRead OnOver the past several weeks, we've heard a number of rumors concerning the possibility of Nokia finally bring an 808-style 41-megapixel PureView camera to its Lumia line of Windows Phone models, referred to thus far as the Nokia EOS. As we wait for the company's February 25 MWC event to see what Nokia has to share with us, the company's Russian branch may have just let the cat out of the bag, posting a teaser video to YouTube which seemed to hint at just such a PureView Lumia being in its MWC plans. Unfortunately, the video has subsequently been removed from YouTube, which we can't help ...

by Michael Fisher | February 7, 2013 7:01 AMRead OnEven if it takes six Skype calls to make a podcast happen, we're gonna do it for you folks, because that's just the kind of guys we are. And it's a good thing, too; while the news cycle has calmed down somewhat in the wake of last week's big BlackBerry event, there's still plenty to talk about from the worlds of Android and Windows Phone, from rumors and speculation to ... well, no, just rumors and speculation, really. But it's scintillating stuff, especially if you're into things named "M7" and "Nokia Tablet." All that, plus listener mail and a heaping helping of Joe Levi's robot voice, ...
