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 ...

Watch today's Pocketnow Daily as we talk about the white Nexus 4 launch rumors along with a possible launch date for Android 4.3. Then we talk about the recent dispute between Google and Microsoft over the custom-made YouTube Windows Phone 8 app. Then let's talk about Google hangouts and how AT&T is spoiling the fun for everyone. We later go through the rumors of a much cheaper Microsoft Surface 2, though that's the only good news so far. We end today's show talking about the Google HTC One, and how the whole concept was dismissed as quick as we wished for it not to. All this and more ...

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 ...

Very good news for Windows Phone enthusiasts, not so good for those loving BlackBerry. According to the latest numbers from IDC, the Microsoft platform has finally taken the third spot from the Canadian firm. This all, in a context in which Android and iOS combined account for %92.3 of total operating system shipments (with total of 199.5 million units worldwide during 1Q13, up 59.1% from the 125.4 million units shipped during 1Q12, our of which 75% goes to Android and 17.3% to iOS). Nokia is responsible for 79% of all Windows Phone shipments during the first quarter of the year, helping ...

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 ...

Nokia added two new Lumias to its lineup this month, first with the announcement of the Lumia 928 for Verizon, and just now the Lumia 925. As descendants of the stalwart Lumia 920, these phones all share some basic hardware, and for this group that means packing some serious camera hardware. Still, these three aren't cookie-cutter copies of each other. Decisions Nokia's made, both in regards to hardware and software, have shaped how each of these captures the images they do. Confused? We don't blame you, and to get some straight answers about just what's going on with these three WP8 ...

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 ...

More often than we'd like to, it seems that we're talking about the lack of selection when it comes to Windows Phone apps. Everyone knows that Microsoft doesn't have anywhere near the number of apps that are available on iOS or Android, but just how bad is the situation? Today we get an update on the app population, and it's not very good news. When we told you about the Lumia 928 launch, we mentioned the bonus $25 app credit included. While the announcement we saw from Nokia didn't include this tidbit, Microsoft's own coverage of the launch notes that the $25 can be used towards any of ...
