Nokia is the unparalleled king of Windows Phone smartphones. It dominates the market, and its handsets are easily some of the most desired; even users of other platforms have commented highly on their design. The company has been expanding its WP lineup to include some incredibly affordable models, like the Lumia 521, but despite all it's done, sales just aren't where they were before Nokia switched gears and aligned itself with Microsoft's platform. At Nokia's recent shareholders' meeting, investors voiced their frustrations with the choices the company has made to bring it to this ...

With all this official stuff on the Nokia Lumia 928 starting to land, that handset is slowly casting off the garments of rumor and speculation and preparing to step out into the light. It doesn't look like it's doing so without a new mystery Nokia handset rising to take its place, and today the image up above is getting some attention, thanks to that handset in blue on the right. This image comes from the cover of a leaked Nokia document outlining some of the company's smartphone strategy. The doc talks about humanizing Nokia phones through a focus on things like City Lens, Here, and tech ...

Watch today's Pocketnow Daily as we talk about Windows Phone 8 GDR2 and a a possible release date along with some billboards that show us what the Nokia Lumia 928 is all about. Then we move to HTC as the red HTC One shows itself in the UK, along with the fact that HTC has improved in sales this month when compared to last month. Then we go through the BlackBerry R10 being compared the Q10, just to make your choice for either much easier since the R10 is just ugly. Later we go through the leaks of a mysterious LG phone we assume to be the Optimus G2, and then we talk about the reports that ...

Unless our crystal ball has been giving out some seriously wrong readings, it sure feels like Nokia's next smartphone to launch will be the Lumia 928 for Verizon. As if all the leaked renders weren't enough, the handset may just have been spotted in the flesh at a Nokia party last week. With a press event scheduled for May 14, we've been wondering if it isn't just about time for the 928 to finally step out into the spotlight. Today we get one more sign of its impending launch, with the discovery of an early Lumia 928 billboard. According to the Nokia fan who snapped the pic, this ad was up ...

We all know that Samsung and Apple are two of the heaviest heavyweights when it comes to smartphones, and any time we're hearing about profits or market share, they're going to be leading the pack. Still, do we appreciate just how large they've gotten, and how quickly their sales have risen? It can be easy to get swept-up in the here and now of sales data, but taking a look back on how all the big smartphone companies have been performing over the past several years can offer us some new insight into the scale of Apple and Samsung's success. The chart above comes from revenue data from ...

With the exception of Nokia and its Lumia 520 and 720 models, the last few months have been pretty quiet when it comes to new Windows Phone hardware. There have been plenty of rumors about what might be next, and today we get to hear a few new ones, with some claims attempting to round-up what hardware will be arriving in the near future. Now, this info comes from a Reddit thread, and while it's posted with some authority, we really can't attest to just how accurate any of it is; as such, please don't take any of this as gospel. We've already talked a lot about Nokia's EOS and Catwalk ...

It's no secret that we're seriously jazzed about T-Mobile's crazy-affordable pricing for Nokia's Lumia 521, selling the Windows Phone 8 handset for a scant $150. As we've mentioned when discussing this bargain, that's quite a bit less than what the international 520 has been going for, which we've seen more up around the $200 mark. Luckily for all of you not situated in the States, it looks like Lumia 520 prices are starting to come down to meet the 521's, with Canada's Koodo Mobile pricing its 520 at the same $150. Granted, those are Canadian dollars, but with the exchange rate what it ...

You've been asking for it: a head-to-head matchup of the best of Windows Phone with (one of) the best of Android. We had to get the hotter comparisons out of the way first, but here for your viewing enjoyment is the latest piece of Nokia versus Samsung hotness to come out of Pocketnow. Why the delay? Funny you should ask. We've been churning out quad-vs-octa, Samsung-vs-HTC, and Galaxy-vs-Galaxy comparisons first because, at the moment, they're the more apt head-to-heads. Nokia's Lumia 920 is a half-year old at this point, and the truth is, putting it up against the newest Samsung ...
