We finally have our very own Nokia Lumia 920 to play with, right on the heels of our Lumia 820 review. The Lumia 920, for those who haven’t been keeping up, is Nokia’s new flagship Lumia device for the Windows Phone 8 platform. As such, it should pack more of a punch than the Lumia 820 and impress us enough to offset its higher price and top-dog status.
The Nokia Lumia 820 is one of the two debut smartphones for Nokia on the new Windows Phone 8 platform. Of the two, the Lumia 820 is the lower-end model and is aimed at the mid-range handset market. Despite playing second fiddle to Nokia’s current flagship, the Lumia 820 is still a surprisingly powerful and solid smartphone.
Optus held a small but lively event today outlining its network expansion so far in 2012 and some of its plans for 2013. Among the talk of the wireless broadband race and increased 3G reception were also some of the 4G LTE devices that Optus will be offering, or is already offering, on its new 4G infrastructure.
We’ve finally got our very own Nokia Lumia 820 review unit and before we did the full-review we figured we might jot down some of our initial impressions. We already got a chance to play with one at the Lumia 920 and 820 Launch in Sydney last week, but that was a fairly quick affair with limited real interaction. This time we’ve had a few hours to play around with some new features, use the browser a bit more and get a general feel for the Windows 8 UI.
Nokia’s Windows Phone 8 launch devices, the Lumia 820 and flagship Lumia 920, will be hitting Australian shelves come the end of November. Both devices represent a new phase in both Nokia and Microsoft’s mobile development and have been keenly anticipated by tech gurus and Windows Phone enthusiasts alike.
The Nokia Lumia 610 is the affordable compatriot of the current Nokia flagship: the Nokia Lumia 900. The Lumia 610 has taken to its budget-smartphone label with some pretty serious aplomb, boasting heavily toned-down hardware and specs in order to keep costs low. The real question is whether or not this Windows Phone 7.5 powered device suffers from its lack of impressive internals. To find out read on as we continue our Nokia Lumia 610 review.
The Nokia Lumia 900 is currently Nokia’s premier Windows Phone (WP) device and, while we’re hoping to see its successor announced over the next few weeks, we still thought it was high time to give a Lumia 900 a review. It’s true that many Windows Phone devices can come off feeling quite similar, as there isn’t much leeway in terms of interface or hardware currently, so just what is it that has the WP world so deeply in love with the Lumia 900?
The Lumia 710 is the mid-range forerunner of Nokia’s new Windows Phone (WP) Lumia range of smartphones. The new WP focus for Nokia brings with it not only a change in overall user experience, but some unique approaches to external design and a subtle feeling of style not seen for a while in the Nokia range.
The Lumia 800 is the head-runner for Nokia’s new Windows Phone (WP) focus. Boasting the same stylish design as the Nokia N9, the Lumia 800 also comes running Windows Phone Mango, the first major update of the WP operating system (OS). We were certainly excited at the prospect of getting our hands on one to see if Nokia has what it takes to get back in the game with its new handset direction and overall we’d have to say that we weren’t disappointed.
