This past Sunday, my brother was visiting; he and my wife and I went for a long bike ride, taking a path around the local mall along the way … and noting that everything was closed. Because it was Easter. It just also happened to be the launch day of the Nokia Lumia 900, the [...]

Nokia Lumia 900 First Look
During the first part of this year, Judie and I spent a fair bit of time using the HTC Titan Windows Phone. We were both surprised by much we like the device and even more surprised by how much we like the operating system. As devoted iOS users, we both have iPads and iPhones; we [...]
Adventures in Stupid Advertising Plays, Nokia Lumia 900 Edition
Nokia has just rolled out a new campaign for its Lumia 900. I am personally a bit disappointed in the company. Here’s why – The Lumia 900 is a fantastic phone. It looks and feels great in the hand, the screen is beautiful, it is sleek and attractive, and it’s running an operating system that [...]
Nokia Lumia 900 Now Available for Pre-Order from AT&T
For those chomping at the bit for the Nokia Lumia 900, AT&T is now offering the phone up for pre-order on their website. Retailing off-contract for $449.99 or $99.00 with contract, this has been a heavily anticipated phone in Windows Phone circles. For me, this device will mark my departure from the Android realm for [...]
Nokia Backtracks on Lumia 710 Backplates
When Judie was in New York last month we had the opportunity to attend a special Nokia event and spent some hands-on time with the Nokia Lumia 710, 800 and 900 Windows Phones. We were, and are, impressed. And we left the event with our own shiny new Lumia 710s courtesy of Nokia! They are [...]
Judie’s Mobile World Congress 2012 WrapUp via Vonage Mobile
Judie is on her way back From Barcelona where she attended Mobile World Congress. We had a chance to use the Vonage Mobile app (read the Sponsored Post/Review here) to catch up a bit and talk about the hits and misses of MWC 2012. Here’s the call with some of the pictures she took while [...]
Nokia’s New Offerings “They Are THAT Good”
I spent some time with Nokia’s North American Director of Communications this afternoon, checking out their latest phones.
Nokia PureView Brings 41MP of Camera Goodness to a Phone
If you thought 12MP was overkill you ain’t seen nothing yet. At MWC Nokia announced the Nokia 808 PureView camera. It sports a whopping 41megapixels. And it isn’t just the megapixels that stand out. No, there’s a lot more going on here. As the Nokia Press Release explains, The Nokia 808 PureView features a large, [...]

I Paid Just Over $1800 for My New Car!!! Really!
You read the title right and I meant it. I paid just over $1800 for my new car last November. At least that is the case if you price it out using the “Walt Mossberg Method of Valuation”.
Nokia Gobbles Up Nearly Half of ’2nd Gen’ Windows Phone Market Share!
Over the last week or so we have seen evidence that Windows Phone sales might be picking up … and in no small part thanks to Nokia! Sales of the Lumia 800 and 710 were reported at ~1.3 million for 2011 in spite of only having the phones for part of the fourth quarter. But [...]
Nokia Introduces the AT&T 4G Lumia 900 to the United States
This afternoon I attended a standing room only event in the impossibly small Ballroom A at the Venetian. The purpose was to hear about Nokia’s latest announcement for North America, and what I was hoping for specifically was news that the Lumia 900 (the North American version of the Euro Lumia 800) would soon be [...]
T-Mobile Nokia Lumia 710 Windows Phone Review
Nokia has long been one of my favorite hardware manufacturers because they consistently have devices with a better than usual build quality, their phones typically have strong radios, and they usually throw in a few excellent features not easily found elsewhere – like the built-in FM radio transmitters and Zeiss optics cameras many of their media phones [...]
Windows Phone Advertising – Doing Better By Pretending it Doesn’t Exist?
After a first year that can most generously be called “disappointing”, Microsoft and their key partner Nokia have been working hard to make this second year a success. Microsoft started with an amazing launch of Windows Phone 7.5 ‘Mango’, which rolled out to all phones worldwide within only a few weeks – and that is [...]
