Nokia Lumia 625 specs leak; looking confirmed as subject of tomorrow’s announcement

We shared a teaser with you this morning from Nokia, promising “something big” for us tomorrow, and leaving us with an image of a Nokia logo on an orange background. We tossed around a couple theories, but didn’t have anything hard to go on.

Pocketnow Weekly 053: HTCs are getting smaller, and Lumias are getting laaaaaarger

Never let it be said that Multimedia Manager Jaime Rivera isn’t a trouper. In the hot Honduras heat, with no power and no A/C (and, incidentally, no shirt), he still manages to show up on-time to the Pocketnow Weekly podcast. That right there is some broadcast heroism, folks. No matter what Taylor Martin’s new-office excuses are. But that’s not what we’re here to talk about. No, we’re about a week overdue for an audio-only examination of Nokia’s newest flagship, the Lumia 1020: we’ll cover it’s high, low, and so-so points, and debate just how ...

Nokia Lumia 625 may be largest Lumia to date

The just-announced Nokia Lumia 1020, what with its 41-megapixel PureView camera, has easily been the company’s most-rumored smartphone in a long while. That said, it hasn’t been the sole focus of Nokia rumors so far this year, and on more than one occasion we’ve heard talk of Nokia’s work towards a phablet-sized Windows Phone device. So far, though, there hasn’t been much in the way of evidence to back up those claims. ...

Nokia rumors talk about tablets, phablets

How about some Nokia rumors while we wait for the EOS/Elvis/Zoom/Lumia 1020/Lumia 909? According to this recent report, for which you’ll need a lot of salt, in addition to the “R” folder and skeptical hat, Nokia is not only preparing tablets, but it also might have a truckload of phablets planned. The information comes from an “anonymous” source and its veracity can’t be, for the moment, verified. Treat it accordingly! Nokia recently trademarked a certain ...
