The Nokia Lumia event last week was slightly marred by some buffering and connection issues at the beginning. Well Nokia have put the whole 1 hour 20 video on their YouTube channel for you to rewatch and here it is.
There was a certain amount of “shielding” during the Nokia Lumia 920 and 820 launches. The closely-guarded demo units were closely guarded and certain functions couldn’t really be accessed. It didn’t help the confidence of investors and, along with a lack of pricing, launch locations or exact dates, …
We’re not sure what Viber has been drinking, but the VoIP service has added the Symbian (Symbian Belle), S40 and Bada operating systems to its list of clients. Its already got clients available for Blackberry, iOS, Android and Windows Phone, so they’ve pretty much completed a clean sweep …
First off, the facts. I have a Nokia Lumia 800 as my current phone and I love it, it does everything I need it to do. Not only well but it looks good too, I have converted half my friends and family over to Windows Phone. The first …
With just minutes to go until the Everything Everywhere launch we’re expecting the launch of 4G and possible handset exclusivity on the new faster network. The Financial Times is stating that the new Nokia Lumia 920 could be a network exclusive on EE. If Nokia could get its’ …
Nokia has posted a new promo video to its YouTube channel which appears to leak that Instagram is coming to Windows Phone. Whilst the video is an animation intended to show off the benefits of Puremotion, it does seem to show a live tile with very similar info to …
OK, firstly I want to say that I and the team at Coolsmartphone have a fairly well rounded respect for mobile platforms other than the one we currently use (and we do all use different phones!) I have a lot of time for Windows Phone, and have eagerly …
My my, the formerly pink and orange telecom has been busy recently. Two weeks ago it successfully got rid of a chunk of its 1800MHz spectrum to Three UK, which could only mean it had more than it ever needed for LTE. Now, hot off the heels of …
Nokia have been in the news lately, not only for their release of the Nokia Lumia 920 & 820, but also because of the controversy surrounding it. Today, however, Nokia have announced another fairly crucial feature for the new 920 and 820 phones – Offline Maps. This will …
You might think, after the criticism I gave to the Nokia launch yesterday, that the appearance of a Lumia 822 on a Verizon screen might be a good thing. It is, if we assume, a sign that a variant of the new Nokia Lumia 820 will be hitting …
Yesterday Nokia sort of mislead people about the Pureview video they showed. In that it wasn’t actually filmed with a Lumia 920. Today they have posted a 16 second video showing real footage using the 920 and another smartphone. Here it is, the shot on the right is …

So, the hype is over and the revelation of the new Nokia Lumia handsets has happened. The Lumia 920 and 820 have been officially unveiled and are all shiny and new. Are they enough to save Nokia? Running with a dual core processor with a 4.3 or 4.5 …
What happened there exactly? Out came Nokia, all guns blazing, with two very respectable handsets. Earlier, they had spent the morning telling people to “#SWITCH” and that they were about to feast on Android… Breakfast in New York on a big day for us! Today we dine on …
So you’ve seen the coverage of the Nokia 920.. you’ve seen the details of the new hardware, the fancy screen, new dual core processor and the improved camera. Unfortunately it seems Nokia’s own advert for a key feature, OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation) was faked, or at least unfairly …
A wireless charging pillow, advanced camera technology and a screen that detects the presence of skin, gloved fingers, or fingernails. The Lumia 920 and 820 are due to arrive “in Q4″ although we’ve not been given pricing just yet. What is also a bit strange is the fact …
Nokia have just announced the new Lumia 920 and the Lumia 820 to the world at an event in New York The Lumia 920 features include a PureView 8 megapixel camera , Windows Phone 8, a 4.5 inch screen running PureMotion HD+, a 2000mAh battery, Snapdragon S4 processor …
Nokia are assembling in New York for a major Windows Phone 8 launch. This is a critical stage for them, and they’ll no doubt be hoping that it’s not going to turn out like the Lumia 900 launch just a few months back. That quickly turned into hefty …
Yesterday we mentioned that the Lumia 900 had been reduced in price. The Lumia 800 has been dropping in price for a while now on various giveaway contracts but sim free prices had mainly remained highish. UK retailer Clove have dropped their prices of the Lumia 800 in black …
Another photo of the upcoming lumia 920 has been tweeted by evleaks. This time showing the available colours of the Lumia 920. Red, yellow, white, black and grey. No Cyan unfortunately. But we will soon know for sure what is happening. They have also just posted a picture …
UK retailer Handtec have posted details on their blog detailing a price reduction on all three colours of the Nokia Lumia 900. You can buy either the black, white or cyan models. The new reduced price is £335.99 Inc vat. No doubt we will see prices dropping on …
Nokia City Lens is another of those Lumia specific apps, this time round it is a augmented reality type thing, where you can hold your camera up and it will show what is around you. City Lens has been around for a few weeks in beta form and …
I have just had an email through from Nokia inviting us to attend an online webcast where something exciting will be announced on the 5th September but no information on what it might be. Anyone can view the webcast by visiting http://www.nokia.com/webcast from 2PM on the 5th September. Also …
Being one of the babies of the Coolsmartphone team my phone history is considerably less impressive than Jamie’s museum of mobile tech!!! The first phone I ever owned had a colour screen and if I remember correctly I saved up my £2 a week pocket money for ages …
Have you always liked the look of the Nokia Lumia 800? Well if you want to get your hands on one slightly cheaper than before today is your lucky day. Expansys have them in black for £249.99 today only. The Lumia 800 really is a gorgeous phone and …

Earlier this week a new Nokia-made handset appeared on the web and many were quick to point out that the device was running Windows Phone 8. This device apparently called the “Nokia Phi” and will be the follow-up to the Lumia 800. It looks to have a larger …
Rumours are doing the rounds that Nokia may be about to launch not one but two new Windows Phone 8 devices in the month of September. The handsets are rumoured to be the Lumia 910 and 920 and will have multi core processors and high resolution screens, as …
Over the last few days Nokia have been publishing apps. Last week we had Camera Extras, yesterday we had Contacts Share and today we have Counters. So what is Counters? Basically it allows you to input the number of minutes for calls you get a month, the number …
Last week all of you lucky Lumia owners got another Lumia specific app, well over the last few days Nokia have released another one. This time it is called Contacts Share and it allows you to share your contacts with another person via vcards. The app is actually …
The other month Nokia announced a load of new apps that they would be bringing to the Lumia range. Microsoft then dropped their upgrade bombshell. From that point on I have wanted several things for my Nokia Lumia 800. I have wanted the Camera Extras app, the Counters …
Nokia appears to have a surprise instore for us in September. At their flagship store in Helsinki which is currently closed for renovation the following posters have appeared in the windows. What Something Amazing could point to is anyone’s guess particularly considering the problems that Nokia are currently …
Bought to our attention by HotUKDeals, you can now purchase a Nokia Lumia 800 for the princely sum of £200. A quick Google search reveals that the price is normally upwards of £300. The smooth one-piece body flows right around the floating 3.7″ ClearBlack AMOLED display. And the …
Nokia have announced a load of new apps and updates for the Nokia Lumia 800 and 710. The update is available on Zune and the apps will be available on the Marketplace. As usual some markets may be delayed and some carriers may interfere, just because. But now …
Once again I find myself coming up with a phone based challenge. This time I thought “could I use Windows Phone for a whole week”. So this may sound a bit odd, as many people use Windows Phone alone and nothing else and they manage to live perfectly …
Microsoft may have decided to leave us Lumia owners out in the cold regarding the Windows Phone 8 update but Nokia have come to our aid, with the warm and comforting shoulder that a good parent should do. As of June the 27th they will begin rolling out …
This morning, like you, I read about the Nokia cuts. Nokia appear, in my opinion, to be hitting the same issue that Microsoft and Windows Mobile tackled four or five years ago. Complacency. There was far too much washing about. Nokia were the undisputed king of the mobile …
Nokia is cutting another 10,000 jobs with a warning that its losses in the second quarter of 2012 will be bigger than expected. Times are not good for the beleaguered manufacturer with its shares being downgraded to junk status and losing 70% of their value since February 2011. The …
We had Sony Ericsson’s original K range of handsets, then we had the Nokia N range and we have had the iPhone. The one thing that all these phones have in common is an rather good camera. Now though we have moved into a different league with the …
An update to the Nokia Maps application has today been released to the Windows Marketplace. It’s available for download for free from Nokia exclusively for Nokia Lumia. One of the best ways to make a difference in location-based services is posting photos and reviews: that’s how you remember …
