[Korey]

Phone makers really need to get some tech to eliminate fingerprints

 

[clav]

Speed limit notifications on Nokia Drive? That is kind of cool.

Feature has been there with Windows Mobile 5/6 phones.

 

[Troll]

Nokia Reading announced, basically it is a hub for your digital books and the like.

Nokia News Stream is a... news stream that looks a lot like a magazine. The live tile for it reminds me a lot of the USA Today app.

 

[clav]

This woman sounds like she hates her job.

[Firestorm]

The Lumia 900 they're showing is white and they aren't saying anythign about it.

She works at Nokia, so she'll probably soon be looking for a new one anyway.

Y U NO BRING CDMA PHONE FOR USA?

 

[Troll]

65k apps! Big deal! Still no Words with friends. jk.


They are talking about Lumia phones to China "In the coming months". CDMA phones, too.

 

[derFeef]

Skype beta? NICE!
Not on Omnia 7? CRAP!

 

[clav]

The 610 is true.

SHOCKING NEWS

 

[Troll]

They are making a volume play with Tango and China. 60 percent market potential they say. That should equate to about.... let me use my calculator real quick.... 900k more phones.


Nokia Lumia 610 just made official.


e: 610 is made for the younger audience.

256mb ram talked about a little bit. Basically the Tango requirements were touched on but they did not reference Tango specifically.

 

[eastmen]

Shame there is no cdma phones in the states. I'm guessing everything is really on pause until the fall with windows phone .

 

[clav]

Nokia really couldn't hire a better presenter?

This sounds like grandma trying to appeal to hipsters.

 

[user_nat]

Skype beta? NICE!
Not on Omnia 7? CRAP!

Doesn't work on any phone?

Works on my Mozart, which isn't one of the list phones. Obviously no video chat though.

I take that back, there is video chat.

 

[StudioTan]

Ok, granted my iPhone I had before my Focus was a 3G but this Skype app is so much faster than the version I used on my iPhone it's not even funny. That thing was so slow I never used it except in emergency situations.

Having the free calling would have been really useful last week when i was out of the country and didn't want to use roaming unless I had to.

 

[Milchjon]

Skype, fuck yeah! Stupid question, but can I do video calls with only a camera on the back, and no FFC? Sure, it's not the same, but theoretically?

610 still doesn't look great.

 

[f0lken]

Skype beta? NICE!
Not on Omnia 7? CRAP!

Have you tried to download it? My model wasn't on the Skype page (Optimus 7) and is working perfectly fine

 

[Troll]

Hands on Lumia 610.

189 Euro price for 610.

 

[clav]

Damn that price tag.

Sigh. I guess I will wait for that CDMA phone.

 

[Korey]

That's it?

:\

 

[eastmen]

lol a new symbian phone ? Why ? lol 48 mega pixel .... why ? the lense is tiny

 

[Troll]

Fuck the Nokia 808 Pure View. Its not WP.

41 mp sensor!?!?!?!!?!

That thing is fucking nice. Wowowowowowowowo.


That is the best Camera I have ever seen on a phone.

Bring it to WP or die, you bitch.

 

[JordanKZ]

... 41mp? WHAT?

 

[Totakeke]

People getting excited over a symbian phone. Europe still loves its symbian. Heh.

 

[user_nat]

41mp.. Yikes.

 

[StudioTan]

41 megapixel? :O

 

[zbeeb]

41MP!? really?! isnt that a little overkill

 

[Firestorm]

610 in Europe: 189 EUR
710 in Canada: 254 CAD

Exchange Rate: 189 EUR = 254 CAD

Yay Nokia.

 

[Milchjon]

So now we wait another year to bring that Symbian stuff over to WP7 phones? Stupid.

 

[clav]

What about carrier availability?

 

[Troll]

So now we wait another year to bring that Symbian stuff over to WP7 phones? Stupid.

I need a "One more thing" moment from Elop. Or else.

 

[eastmen]

So now we wait another year to bring that Symbian stuff over to WP7 phones? Stupid.

Camera and Dolby sound will most likely hit with wp8 in the fall.

 

[Troll]

What about carrier availability?

Probably octobanned unsubsidized only.

 

[eastmen]

610 in Europe: 189 EUR
710 in Canada: 254 CAD

Exchange Rate: 189 EUR = 254 CAD

Yay Nokia.

Do those include tax ?

 

[Firestorm]

Do those include tax ?

CAD price doesn't. Maybe the EUR does?

 

[numble]

610 in Europe: 189 EUR
710 in Canada: 254 CAD

Exchange Rate: 189 EUR = 254 CAD

Yay Nokia.

Does Canada include HST in the price? EU includes VAT (minimum 15%) automatically.

 

[clav]

Probably octobanned unsubsidized only.

 

[eastmen]

CAD price doesn't. Maybe the EUR does?

Euro price normaly has vat built in from what i remember in other products. I remember alot of people would complain about the price diffrence with USD to EUR but they never include the tax for the USD

 

[Firestorm]

Tax adds $30 in my province. Still not worth the drop. I really thought the 610 would be priced lower. Something that competes with the low end BlackBerries we never see in North America / Western Europe.

 

[Korey]

So...when's the next conference Windows Phone will be at?

 

[GTI Guy]

.

 

[Troll]

That was....



Bullshit.

 

[Troll]

This dude with the glasses taking the questions is really annoying.

 

[Windu]

told ya not to expect much

 

[dLMN8R]

lol what did you guys expect to see?

 

[clav]

lol what did you guys expect to see?

Any Lumia phone for a US CDMA carrier.

I learned Nokia does not plan to do that.

 

[eastmen]

I expect MS to talk about wp8 later thsi week when they release win 8 consumer preview. But then we wont hear anything until they do a confrence for windows 8 later this year, at that point the mother load of info will come out

 

[Korey]

What's the next consumer electronics expo/conference?

 

[Fjolle]

I expect MS to talk about wp8 later thsi week when they release win 8 consumer preview. But then we wont hear anything until they do a confrence for windows 8 later this year, at that point the mother load of info will come out

They have a windows phone event this evening. Won't we hear something then?

 

[Troll]

Elop is a smooth talker. I will give him that.
