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, …
Now the cat is finally out of the bag. It looks like the network didn’t just go large, it went for the supersized option. The current roster of releases under the new EE brand is as follows: The Nokia Lumia 920 with its 1280×768 pixel PureMotion HD+ display, …
Orange is now history, as is T-Mobile, at least from a marketing perspective. Everything Everywhere has taken a back seat too, with “EE” being the new brand going forward. You can sign up for updates on 4G and all the latest info at their new site – ee.co.uk. …
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 …
Everything Everywhere tell us that they have something “Brand New” and will be introducing a new network technology today. We’re on site live with all the latest as it happens..
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 …
We’ve had a few personal opinions of the Nokia Lumia launch opinion recently. I thought I should perhaps share my thoughts because I really don’t agree. I have been using Windows Phone for a while now, along with Android and recently iOS, so I like to feel I …
If you’ve been reading us at all, you’ve read that Nokia has announced its Lumia 920 Windows phone 8 flagship, the 4.5” beast with the pureview imaging technology that the Finnish company is touting to put them back at the top of the smartphone pile. What seems …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
So after the chat about old phones in the most recent podcast it got us all talking (behind the scenes) about all the phones we have had through the years. So, inspired by that, a few of us have put together our phone history! So, here we go… Motorola M3188 …
A phone timeline. Wow. This has certainly been a memory test, but here we go…
The 5th of September is going to be make or break time for Nokia. They are due to announce their new range of Windows Phone 8 powered Lumias. A lot of people will be watching this event with great interest. We have most corners of the tech world …

At the risk of sounding sexist, ask a man what his main interests are and outside of women and beer the answer for the vast majority would be gadgets and cars. Hopefully we here at Coolsmartphone bring you your fill of phone related gadgets and now we can …
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 …
You may have seen a number of items recently surrounding the Nokia Lumia handsets. Powered by Windows Phone, there’s already some who have stuck together some numbers and calculated that 330,000 Nokia Lumia handsets have (probably) sold in the USA during 4 months of sales. There’s an element …
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 …
I listened with interest to Jamie’s self confessed rant on the Coolsmartphone podcast number 4 where he describes in great detail his thoughts on Apples actions around the patent lawsuits. It is really worth a listen, not only does his passion come across but so does the complexity …
Now many of you out there may have heard of Nokia and their much heralded N9. The N9 was the first, and only, smartphone to run Meego; a pleasant little OS which was widely described as a ‘breath of fresh air’ when it was shown off last year. …
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 …
The Nokia 808 Pureview is, it has to be said, a strange phone. Without “that camera” it’d probably be overlooked. It runs on a 1.3GHz CPU, it’s got a 360 x 640 pixel 4″ screen and has the usual WiFi, GPS, FM radio, microSD etc However, it’s got …
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 …
So, here it is – the big announcement from Microsoft. Well, the biggest one since yesterday at least. It’s the stitching-together of the new ecosystem – Windows Phone 8 will use the NT kernel just like Windows 8 instead of CE. This is good news, as is the …
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 …
