Unfortunately the app also created some horrible loading times for chat loading and app starts. The new update brings larger profile pictures view, and recent messages view to the large tile. as well as improved loading times. unfortunately the [...]

N950 receives Twitter update; N9 app update coming soon? (Changelog incl.)

| February 23, 2013 | 19 Replies
So earlier in the week, to my absolute surprise, my N950 beeped and gave me an app update for Twitter! I suspected this would be due to Twitter changing their API to version 1.1  last year and making 1.0 support end in the coming weeks. N9 is still not showing anything, but I imagine this [...]

  Evleaks have released a couple more pics of the Lumia 520 (above) and the 720 (below). This time we can see more of those interesting “three pins” on the back of the 720; which has got us all worked up (is it just me or do they look lit up?)- could they be an [...]

Our reader “Viktor Von D” pointed out something very interesting, put simply this isn’t the first time we see the design for the Lumia 720 and 520. Just before last year’s Lumia 920 & 820 launch we saw several leaks of a white lumia; which we at the time assumed was the 820, we didn’t really give [...]

Nokia to Rebrand/Release “Here” Maps for Windows Phone at MWC?

| February 22, 2013 | 34 Replies
Something I noticed in the just leaked image of the Lumia 720, the maps tile on the screen which is clearly the old Nokia maps icon, has been re-branded to “HERE Maps”. It’s quite possible that we might see an app rebranding take place at MWC; especially since Nokia talk about their location services at every event. [...]

It appears that dsmobile has been willing to share more information with MNB readers asking him questions about upcoming Nokia devices. Now, as we’ve mentioned before, you can take everything said with pinches of salt. He may very well be wrong but it’s interesting to speculate nonetheless as it’s not that long until these things [...]

I’ve been playing with the Lumia 620 for a couple days now, and it’s a very impressive device, but most importantly how does it shape up in terms of general performance? For me the greatest feature in WP8 is the overall speed and flow of the UI; where it rarely lags and is generally quite reliable. [...]

  After all that hyping, what it comes down to is actual performance, no? Nokia has not only one but two PureView beasts, with the latter in the 808 often being considered the big daddy of all camera phones, it’s also great to see the 920 flying the flag proudly for Nokia too. In Neowin’s [...]
