Is Nokia’s rehabilitation in the Western Media complete?

Was it this time last year that Nokia was burning? I had to check through the Mobile Industry Review archives just to be sure! What a difference a year makes in the mobile industry, eh?

The Nokia Lumia 800: It’s business-ready

The Nokia Lumia 800: It’s business-ready

I’ve been using the Nokia Lumia 800 for just over a week, full time now. It has temporarily replaced the BlackBerry Curve I normally use for business work (I also use a Bold 9900 and an iPhone).

A nice example of Nokia’s smart subliminal marketing

The problem we’ve all had with Nokia, I think it’s fair to say, is that in recent years the products haven’t quite met our expectations compared to the rest of the market. I know the purists reading will disagree at this point — however, let me point you to Android and iOS device sales over [...]
