Nokia recently announced the N9 with MeeGo and at the event, CEO Stephen Elop wanted to showcase a device to please the developers. He asked them to put their cameras away and not take pictures of the device, but who listens to CEOs anyway? Check out the new SeaRay!
Its the first Windows Phone 7 from Nokia and it runs the upcoming Mango Build. Check out the full video from the event below.
Eldar Murtazin snapped a few shots of an as-of-yet unnamed HTC device running Windows Phone. Identical to the HTC trophy. It has a 12 MP sensor similar to that of the Nokia N8. But the software feature allows the user to capture RAW unprocessed images.
A few juicy details of the upcoming mango update have been seen. That include Facebook Chat and Office 365 (plus SkyDrive and SharePoint), a new games hub with Xbox Live integration (new “Automatic Sync” ). This is still unconfirmed news, but considering the showcase of the update at the Dev Conf. earlier looks like this is highly likely.
Microsoft demoed the upcoming version changes on the next generation of Windows Phone 7 Devices , major features including multitasking, background audio, push notifications and raw sensor data (not to mention over 1500 new APIs) in the next version of Windows Phone. Check out the video below courtesy of Engadget.
If you are like the many people who are facing issues finding the NO-DO Update.
With thanks to a tip from iGyaan Reader : Gary.
We have the Step by Step Solution for You
1. Start Zune
2. Turn off Data connection and Wifi on the Phone
3. Connect the Phone with the PC (USB)
4. Start the update search in Zune
5. About 3 seconds later, disconnect your PC from the internet (Turn WLAN off).
6. Zune finds NoDo-Update. Press OK.
7. Connect to the internet again and install the update.
As we tested this works brilliantly on all those devices which don’t see the update.
Also if it fails the first time, simply try the process again.
Looks like here it is, we just had a Phone Update POP-UP on our HD7 and it looks like copy paste is now available on the HD7. To simply get the update, sync up your phone with Windows or Mac computer and enjoy!
HTC has just announced the new HTC HD7s, A successor to the HD7 which has only a minor improvement in tow, which actually turns out to be a major improvement. The HD7s adds a Super LCD to the mix making the display even more eye-friendly and much better in drastic situations. Thic change will also improve the battery life of the unit and make using the device a better experience.
Our Sources at HTC India say this device will hit as a quiet Update in June-July 2011 in India. Pricing Similar to the existing model is expected.
Microsoft has let out the new update for the Windows Phone 7 Platform, and it brings a lot of welcome features.
OS version: 7.0.7390.0
Chinese site xda.cn has posted renders of the Pyramid’s front and rear, specs are also being thrown around :
Along with that there is also considerabe evidence and renders of the two new upcoming Windows phone devices from the Taiwanese giant.
Ignite, has a underclocked 1GHZ processor marked at 800MHz Qualcomm processor, a 3.7-inch display, and a 5 megapixel camera around back.

While this may me confirmed on many levels, it still remains to be clarified. Bloomberg claims that it has two sources involved deeply in the process citing that there is a flow of $$ from Redmond to Espoo which is in excess of $ 1 billion, directed towards the manufacture of mobile phones holding the MS phone OS. It calls for Microsoft to pay a portion of the agreement before the final merger this year along-with Nokia sending cash in the other direction for device licenses.
Talk about holding the key and the lock in the same hand, still wondering why Nokia didn’t choose Android?
Pictures of what looks to be a Sony Ericsson prototype running Windows Phone 7 have recently surfaced. “Julie” the name that was given to a sliding prototype WIN 7 handset when SE was named Manufacturer at the WP7 event last year. It is becoming more and more apparent that manufacturers are keeping their options open in terms of Mobile OS selection and the demand for Windows Phone 7 Devices is far more than anyone would have anticipated. The only problem that remains to be showcased tis the difference in the hardware manufacture process. While all manufacturers are in an ability to provide similar hardware, what a manufacturer does better is what will set them apart in the coming future. Lets wait and watch.
Nokia was announcing its Microsoft alliance at the Mobile World Congress today, and in a Q&A session related to Symbian the Company’s CEO Stephen Elop Said
“We have fresh new products [on the low end] that we’re introducing into the Indian market that have features like dual-SIM.”
That means Nokia doesn’t essentially want to get rid of Symbian altogether but use it in budget phones, that will target the India’n market especially.
This is possibly the only thing Nokia needs to revive its standing in our country, as a mass market product, the masses are in for Dual Sim phones! The interesting thing to see however is that weather or not Nokia will be able to give a product that beats the quality of the existing Indo-China companies. And Symbian is definitely better than the generic Chinese OS on each of those devices.
Folks over at Engadget have caught hold of an image that showcases the upcoming Windows Phone Device from Nokia. At the announcement Nokia said that engineers from both Microsoft and Nokia have already spent a lot of time together developing on this. This could mean that, this may as well be the first phone from the Nokia-Microsoft alliance.
So, Nokia has joined hands with Microsoft to develop future products, what does this mean? We have the details and will be shedding light on the insides and out of the alliance and what it does for us.
To start off, we expected Symbian to either be completely re-invented or be completely exterminated. Nokia choose the latter, they probably thought it was much easier than to invent an OS in a market that was way ahead of them. This alliance comes with the death of Symbian in a slow and steady manner. In the presentation created by Stephen Elop (ceo of Nokia) t it’s clear that Symbian which is claimed to be a “franchise” OS that Nokia will “harvest” and will be taken over by Windows Phone on Nokia devices just as soon as Nokia and Microsoft can complete the transition.
The transition as Nokia and Microsoft stated, would go on through 2011-2012, and by 2013 Nokia will be shipping only Windows Phone 7 or 8 or whatever version Microsoft throws out to the world. In simple words : Nokia will only ship Windows Phone devices 2013 onwards.
“Nokia expects 2011 and 2012 to be transition years, as the company invests to build the planned winning ecosystem with Microsoft. After the transition, Nokia targets longer-term: (1) Devices & Services net sales to grow faster than the market. (2) Devices & Services non-IFRS operating margin to be 10% or more.”
Stephen Elop says that he expects Nokia to ramp up the transition this year and be ready to ship Windows Phone 7 devices in significant volume in 2012.
With the arrival of Windows Phone to Nokia devices, there are substantial changes that will go on in Nokia’s infrastructure. When Elop was asked by a concerned Finnish reporter, “What happens to Finland,” Stephen responded that a successful Nokia is good for Finland but there will be “substantial reductions in employment” in Finland and around the world. That does mean a lot of frustrated Nokia employees, and a lot of anxiety for them. This may also be a great blow to investors or stock holders, as this may ruin Nokia’s market value on the long run.
Nokia has also been on the Qt warpath for years after purchasing the developer framework from Trolltech back in January of 2008. While Qt will continue on as the development framework for Symbian and MeeGo, Microsoft will give for free Windows Phone Developer Tools (Visual Studio 2010, Expression, Silverlight and the XNA Framework) to developers interested in the platform and exclusively developing for it. Qt will not be adapted for Windows Phone 7 APIs.
Whatever said and done, We personally believe, Nokia’s focus on hardware development will improve the outcome and toss Nokia back up on the anticipated phones / devices list. Also we believe Nokia will be launching a tablet later this year. A tablet that will run a mix of operating systems and an interesting hardware speck at a price that will remain unrivaled. There are only good things to see from Nokia now (or at-least we want them).
Elop also expressed the fact that, Nokia will be allowed to alter anything in the WP7 platform, including layouts and skinning. But, Elop also mentioned that Nokia likely won’t make extensive use of this freedom to tailor Microsoft’s OS. This is a major shift for Microsoft, who forbade HTC from skinning Windows Phone 7 with Sense, the proprietary skin from HTC.
