Lookie here folks, another Windows Phone handset has been leaked and this time, it is LG branded. The device which is said to be called the LG Fantasy looks pretty decent with it supposed 4-inch ISP display, but nothing much can be told from its pose for Mr. blurrycam.
The year 2011 turned out to be a bad year for Nokia, the company lost its spot at the top of the smartphone food chain to Apple and Samsung while struggling to catch up with its first set of Windows Phone devices, the Lumia 800 and Lumia 710. However, 2012 could be the year the old dog rises from its slumber starting with a huge CES presence.
The Lumia 800 and 710 are both gaining much needed love amongst tech heads, but here comes another dubbed as the Nokia Lumia 601 which is expected to be less capable than the Lumia 710. At the moment, the Lumia 601 is just a rumor and the images are said to be leaked, but until we get some concrete evidence, this little sweetheart will perish in the rumor mill until then.
It would seem that the Nokia Microsoft joining is paying off, as developers are showing increase interest in the Windows Phone platform, mainly thanks to the Finnish giant. According to a survey from the IDC, 38% of developers spoken to are interested in Windows Phone; this comes at the expense of BlackBerry, Symbian, and MeeGo. With this new found interest in the platform, Windows Phone might just be on the horizon on becoming the 3rd ecosystem.
Been a while since I reviewed any Windows Phone applications, I’ve been a little busy for the past couple day but now I am back with a vengeance, or probably not. First up, we have this app called IPaint, which clearly depicts it’s an application about painting and more than likely it is highly flawed, we don’t like it, and you won’t either.
While much of the fanfare is centered around the Nokia Lumia 800, it is not the only Windows Phone handset to be announced at Nokia World 2011. Sitting cozily on the wayside is the Nokia Lumia 710, another great looking Windows Phone handset from Nokia. Compared to the Lumia 800, it is cheaper, comes with a smaller display and less impressive camera, but that doesn’t stop it from making an impression.
Splendid news for all Windows Phone users along with those on the fence. Dual core chipsets and 4G LTE is in the pipeline for the platform, but will not blend in until performance and battery life issues have been ironed out. This was confirmed by Andy Lee, Microsoft’s smartphone chief, so hopefully all this good news won’t take too long to become reality.
Sad news for Microsoft and Windows Phone. We are hearing that Dell have abolished all plans for releasing Windows Phone 7.5 Mango devices, and would therefore focus on future handsets running the next version of Windows Phone, called Apollo. This doesn’t seem to be a Windows Phone issue, however. Our investigation shows that Dell plans to decrease its line of Android devices, which kind of proves that there are some internal problems going on that we do not yet know about.
Sony Ericsson CEO, Bert Nordberg, claimed that he is quite curious about Windows Phone, yet, he believes the platform is not better than Android. Right then and there we have to disagree with Mr Nordberg, and come out with fighting words to prove him wrong. I mean, to think even though Sony Ericsson is using Android, yet the company finds it difficult to hit the golden years again.
This is a game I’ve been playing none stop for the past week, it is that addictive. Fastball 2 is all about precision and the speed of your thumb when the levels get more complicated and you begin to find yourself falling too many times to count. In the first set of levels, Fastball 2 won’t be that much of a challenge, but as it rises, you’ll be ripping your hair out in frustration, but you will still come back for more.
