    I may have missed something, But what happened to 3D touch?

    I remember the McLaren prototype was all about the 3d touch. And everything pointed to it being cancelled because it wasn't up to snuff. All stories also pointed to it being on the next 2 flagship phones, right up until Apple came out with 3d Touch/Force Touch. Since then everything to do with...

    The Real Dream Device !

    make a custom ceramic back for the 930. I would say aluminium but you'll likely loose wireless and radio's doing that. Maybe not, worth a try I suppose... You'd also need a large supply of ceramic as it'd shatter all the time at that thickness ^.^

    Lumia 1030: what to expect?

    Tom may know what he's talking about but I for one do not think the Mc is the 1030... looking back through articles this rumour of the Mc being the 1030 first came up in comments on articles that didn't mention its predecessor and then some articles mentioned that it could be a new flagship or...

    Lumia 1030: what to expect?

    I'd say it's closer than we expect... The 1020 had a custom made s4 to support the 41Mp camera... the 800 only supports up to 21Mp and the 805 and 810 support 55Mp... I guess that's due in part to Nokia wanting a chip capable rather than another custom job, that and its in Qualcomm's...

    Did Satya just throw us under the bus?

    He is saying: I do not want to answer what made us miss the turn/smartphones... meaning if I tell you what we're changing, that is what made them miss the turn.... Instead he says he's keeping an eye out for the next turn, probably wearable's... or the day Intel squeeze an i7 (or equivalent)...

    Do you still use Windows 7?

    For the most part I use windows 8 and get annoyed at anything else because I have gotten used to w8 and learned the quick way to everything... now that I know it I use it faster than 7 ever was for me... Now that's with a Roccat on a 40", touchscreens I like with windows 8 and always end up...

    Who do you feel makes the best phone hardware?

    There are a few... Apple is the refinement of tech, sometimes first, sometimes not, but always works with ease... they don't release something until it WORKS Nokia still make arguably the toughest (without buying a tough phone like the CAT) phones going, also camera's = Incredaballs Samsung...

    The X series, Nokia's worst idea ever....

    you do realise all this is going to Microsoft very soon meaning no licence fee. Also considering Microsoft sell no licences for wp7 anymore i'm sure they'd be happy with ecosystem and service expansion alone and because they are designed for bulk Microsoft could charge a dollar a pop, 50c... and...

    The X series, Nokia's worst idea ever....

    At first read I thought that the X, X+ and XL were an ok to good idea... low cost, looks like a windows system, has Microsoft services, ok plan so far... then I saw something remarkable... These are the specs for the X and X+ Nokia X and Nokia X+ 115.5 x 63 x 10.4 mm 128.7 g 4-inch WVGA IPS...

    Nokia Lumia 1820 with a 5.2in 2K display, 3GB of RAM and Lytro-like camera could be on the way

    I agree completely... I expect any 5" flagship to be a 93X variant... 1530 more like and weird to replace it so fast... we are over due the 63X 83X and 93X with 520 and 720 shown off at MWC 2013 something is coming.... this is like the longest they have gone with out a device release. That and...

    Wish it had an AT&T/Global version?

    Well as far as I know the 928 has GSM, Edge, 3G/HSPA+ so it will work on some carriers anyway, I know it works here in Ireland though our 4g is different... The SD800 has all variants of 4G/LTE built into the one chip so this should work world wide with 4G/LTE and hopefully a fair few...

    The Specifications for the Nokia Lumia ICON

    I think it is on the black one, its just like the 925 with black aluminium... i'd say its actual metal as nokia build is only getting better even down the line to the 520.... and here has anyone seen the leaked Asha 500,502,503... real nice I think, teen design but still unique and good...

    My (mostly positive) rant about innovation

    If you didn't mind no back light, printable surfaces... so you could just buy a full sensor blade and stick/Velcro on a sheet you made and map it out in a blade creator program.... I was also thinking if they imbed an oled screen (or many in nice tight sections) into/under the fabric... have the...

    Any news on 920 V2.0?

    It is quite long indeed, even though they are next gen in everything but name and OS (the update will fix that) 6" is very big for a lot of people and the 929 is carrier specific (as it stands). Microsoft did say they were enabling hardware with the first round of GDRs and will follow with...

    Why 929? Shouldn't it be higher?

    Probably because its carrier specific version of 930

    Any other new phones rumored to come out?

    Ha I forgot bout that... the 929 and regional specific devices I mean... Also missed that off Evleaks.... The new Asha series looks sweet... also I think the 929 is a variant of a later to be released 930 when wp8.1 is shown off... its a whole inch smaller in screen... and carrier variants stay...

    Any news on 920 V2.0?

    It's been designed as an 8.1 device but RT 8.1 isn't being released until new year with WP8.1 (some people think they might get joined at the hip) so when they show it off it will still be basic RT... Even surface 2 isn't on 8.1 yet.... that's why I GUESS that its staying 2520... its also why I...
