Nokia Thread: Connecting People

[fridayblues]

a takeover seems to be the last best solution for nokia. samsung has said it has no interest to buy the company. thats bad news. now nokia has only mincrosoft as potential buyer. nokia fans should pray that microsoft buys nokia. if it does not do that, bankruptcy is the only option left.

lumia apparently is not helping the comany.

3D Maps: Nokia Was There Before Apple
June 15, 2012

Apple made much of its new 3D map service when it unveiled iOS 6 earlier this week. But, perhaps, a troubled European company got there first.

Cult Of Mac suggests you visit maps.nokia.com now to get a taste of iOS 6 maps on your browser.

Nokia’s maps are not only powered by C3 technologies, the same company that Apple purchased back in October, but they also behave almost identically to what you’ll find in iOS 6, offering the exact same controls, except without the multi-touch support. The maps even render in the same fashion as they do on iOS.

To run these 3D maps on your own computer, all you’ll need to do is install a small, 8.4MB maps plugin. On the maps page, just roll over the “map view” menu on the right hand side of the screen, and select “Get Maps 3D.” You will be guided to a page where you can download the plugin, assuming you are using a supported browser.

It might not be a substitute for iOS 6, but you can try the maps out now rather than having to wait until after the summer when Apple’s new mobile operating system is due to be released.

Pagod... After graveyard shift diretso sa Workshop ng Microsoft-Nokia App Developing sa Makati. More than 24 hrs na ko gising. Madame ako natutunan. I'll develop some apps pag may free time na.

[cccc]

meron na bang internet sharing ang lumia 800? sa tango diba ang software update at nai-release na ba ang tango update?

kasi ang nababasa ko lang sa news ay lumia 800 to get internet sharing in tango update.

yep, it's true. i've seen an 800 na may tango update na pero hindi pa siya officially narerelease worldwide.

Di hamak namang mauunang mabankrupt ang Blackberry kesa sa Nokia haha

Yeah tama, kahit malugi ang Nokia, kahit magmura ng sobra ang mga Nokia Handsets, di naman bumababa ang quality ng fone kasabay ng pagbabay ng presyo eh.

Pabor pa nga sa consumers, makakabili sila ng magandang phone sa mas mababang presyo. Same features naman nung mataas pa ang presyo nila.

lalalala...ano man ang sabihin nila..marami pa ding nagmamahal sa Nokia.. (in the tune of VST's Dahil Mahal Kita )

[Impenneteri]

wala pa as of today.. pero may nabasa ako na yung lumia 800c (for chinese variant ng lumia 800) may firmware na pang tango , sa mobile tech world ko ata nabasa

Sayang I'm planning to buy one kasi yung sa globe para ma share ko internet sa laptop. I also want to learn and develop apps for Windows Phone in the future.

[fridayblues]

here is what an analyst says on the value of the nokia cellphone business - it has ZERO VALUE.

"We assume zero value for the device and Nokia Siemens Networks businesses," he wrote. "We see little hope for a turnaround from here even with a refined strategy."

that says this analyst does not see nokia's cellphone business as viable in the future. a company taking over nokia will buy nokia for reasons other than their cellphone business.

Ang galing, acquired na ng nokia ang Scalado imaging comp. Halimaw na ang camera nila. (pureview tech)
here's an excerpt sa nabasa ko:



Nokia buys Scalado to improve imaging on Windows Phone devices

"FINNISH PHONE MAKER Nokia announced plans today to acquire imaging firm Scalado to enhance the cameras on its Lumia smartphones.

Nokia's brief press release doesn't give us much detail about what we can expect from the Scalado buyout, but certainly adds weight to the rumours that Pureview technology will be coming to Windows Phone.


"This transaction would enable us to combine our leadership in camera devices with their expertise in imaging, helping people move beyond taking pictures to capturing moments and emotions and then reliving them in many different ways."


Recently imaging firm Scalado announced a neat bit of technology called Scalado Remove (below), which lets you remove passers-by from images by simply tapping a smartphone screen. It was thought that the app would come out for Android devices, but now we're guessing that this feature will be available exclusively on Nokia's Lumia line."

Is the Nokia Lumia 800 worth it or should I get the S3? I mean its just 5K away in Globe. It's really tempting. I'm still really positive about the Lumia's performance tho.

Is the camera good enough?

[fridayblues]

nokia as a company might go bankrupt by the end of the year. no telling if you will still get support, service or warranty guarantees.

the camera is superb. tried it sa globe hub and nokia. kahit nga yung 5mp cam ng lumia 610 is maganda eh. when the it comes to imaging, nokia is the king. pati browsing hanep kahit single core lang compared sa dual core units. no lags and hangs when loading web pages. check mo sa youtube yung web browsing vs dual core phones. taob sila.

I've heard from a lot of people that the camera quality is really bad. Nakakabahala din dahil first time ko kukuha ng smartphone Hindi naman ako mahilig kumuha ng pics pero syempre kailangan ko din ng on the go camera in case may kailangang kuhanan ng picture.

*** smoothness ng Lumia ang pinaka okay na feature. Kasi single core siya pero taob ang iPhone 4s na may dual core

Lumia 800 user for a month now, so far everything is good, walang forced closing, pag tanggal ng battery once in a while na naranasan ko sa Xperia Ray ko dati, nakakairita (I admit, yun lang ang marereklamo ko sa Ray, maganda din naman kasi yung phone na yun)..yung apps na kailangan ko, nakita ko naman sa marketplace..maipapapyo ko lang e, kung anong phone ang mame-meet ang needs mo for a good price, bang for the buck ika nga, yun kunin mo..

Thanks! Camera wise sa tingin mo?

[mogli3]

^camera-wise, ok naman siya, I'm into photo editing. raw pictures are good. There's also a setting of an auto fix after you snap a photo. I'm just the type of person na i do alot of edits on my photos, good thing that theres Phototastic, Fantasia painter and creative studio apps in the marketplace.

Another special mention is Photosynth. I'm in love with this app. a 360 degree panaroma photo app.

IMHO, I was able to play with S3 before I purchased the Lumia, parang mas nafefeel ko *** babayaran ko sa Lumia compared sa s3 design, build and OS wise.

[swellbong]

How about yung Lumia 900? Medyo awkward yung pagiging malaki niya e. Any first hand experience? May plan ba na free yung phone na yun? Hinde pa ako nakakapag WinMO ever. Gusto ko siya itry. )

Nakafeel na ako ng s3 sa Globe Center and medyo nadisappoint ako.

Napansin ko lang sa mga sales center ng Smart at Globe parang wallflower lang mga Nokia models. Ang laging may model unit e yung Samsung, iPhone at BlackBerry. Kaya siguro hinde masyado napapansin ang Nokia.

Sayang naman kung mababangkarote ang Nokia. I think kasi na okay din yung maraming nagcocompete na smartphones, kasi nagbebenefit din ang costumers sa competition nila.

[mogli3]

^ 900 is too big for me. I would suggest na wait till thursday (manila), Microsoft will announce windows phone 8 and its features. Mukhang mas makakapagdecide ka kung bibili ka na o maghihintay ng mga phones with windows phone 8.
