The N8 is a great phone, camera, and gps device....

This week I took ~600 pictures with the E7 and they turned out more than great. Cant even imagine how good of a camera N8 has as its thought to be even better.

Symbian is dead in North America once the first WP7 device is released.

And is here the new WP7 device?

After a day with Anna, have to say she is more polished than her predecessor. Especially like the new browser.

I would imagine it takes few more months from the release before E7/N8 owners could have their devices updated.

Can one say that its a pretty safe bet that Nokia will reveal its Mango phone end of next month? Mr Belfiore from Microsoft attending etc...

Rumors floating around that Nokia is preparing to reveal 2-3 Mango phones in the 26th of this month. Definitely will purchase one of the new ones, so hopefully they will reveal something mind blowing.

A Finnish tabloid had an poll, "Do you like the new Nokia tune?".
From roughly 12000 votes 21% said yes, personally I think its horrible.

Last night I downloaded US maps and a Map-Yelling-Voice via Ovi Suite over wifi. I ran it, and it knew where I was. It appears that Ovi Maps may even work without a data plan, which is awesome.

I threw out my Garmin Nuvi after buying the E7. Just download the maps you need, after that the navigation system doesnt need to download anything to work.

Honestly, I think the pay-off for not having user-replaceable batteries is worth it on these unibody designs. They're so much more solid than any other phone I've held in my hand.

Do people change batteries any more? Last time I had a extra battery, it was back in -95 for the Nokia 2110.

I think it's more important in the "next billion" section of the market, where you might not be able to get access to a power outlet as reliably as smartphone buyers generally can.

Exactly, that’s what Asha is for. Personally I don’t understand people complaining about non exchangeable batteries in N9/Lumia 800. Who ever buys a phone of that calibre doesn’t live in a clay hut without electricity.

Another topic that has been made a big thing is the FFC and especially the lack of it. I’ve used the front facing camera only once and whole time during that phone call I was looking in to my friend’s ear. Is it really such a big deal that a phone doesn't have one? How many of you use it daily / weekly?

Anybody living in UK, France or somewhere they are selling Lumia at the moment?
I've been reading lots of different blogs, forums etc and trying to find unbiased information how the phone really is selling.

So... Symbian Nokia Belle available begining on February 8th... Maybe...
Published by Nokia Vietnam, then pulled

And they took the page down shortly after. Just have to wait and hope it will be coming out at 8th.

Also is it true that I read somewhere, Nokia Carla will be available for E7-00?

Cant verify this myself as I am behind a very bad connection, somewhere at sea between Helsinki and Tallinn but...
I'm reading another forum where people are claiming they are now updating their E7's and N8's to Belle. So the update might be rolling out early..

"On Monday, February 27, the first day of Mobile World Congress, Nokia will host
a press conference, where it will announce significant industry news."

Its bit too quiet with Nokia releasing new windows phones, right? Latest model, the 610 was announced at Barcelona 4 months ago. Next opportunity to see new models will be September at Nokia world? Isn’t seven months bit too long stretch between new models?

Nokia World will be held in Helsinki at 5th - 6th of September. What do think, will they then annouce new models as rumoured?

Dropped my Lumia 800 few weeks ago and glass broke. Touch screen stopped working a week after that so now I'm back to my old E7.
I’d like to get the phone fixed but I’m not willing to pay 180-230€ for repairs.
Anybody have any experience in buying replacement parts trough ebay? Especially would like to know if you have bought the touch screen digitizer with the lcd display, is the replacement as easy as it seems in most youtube videos?

Jun 15, 2011

That video is the sole reason why I'm even thinking of doing the repair by myself.

Finally, last Friday, the replacement screen I bought arrived. It took me 10-15 minutes disassemble / assemble the screen and my good old Lumia works perfectly again.
Just by buying the replacement screen from ebay and doing the assembly myself I saved roughly 130€.

Man, I can't believe I'm actually considering buying a n9. I've held on to my E72 for almost 4 years now thinking they would have to release some kind of compelling product but I'm drawing a blank.

I would wait couple of weeks, just to see if the rumours of a new high end lumia are true, theres a Nokia MWC 2013 event on February 25th.

Ericsson did the same thing few years ago as Nokia did today. What I have heard they aren't doing that bad.
