You May Hit Trouble on Your 6th Windows Phone Device
The cyan Nokia Lumia 800 I recently unboxed was my 6th Windows Phone device. How did I know? I was unable to download any apps from the Marketplace because of this error. It looks like we are only allowed to associate our Windows Live ID with 5 phones. If you don’t manually remove your previous phones from your account settings, you won’t be able to download new apps on your 6th phone.
Panorama photos with Pano for Windows Phone
Do you love to take panorama photos? Check out Pano on your Nokia Lumia phone. It’s an award-winning app that was ported from iOS that lets you take seamless panoramic photos straight from your phone. You can take up to sixteen photos, but I like to limit it to 3 or 4. Here’s my video to showing you how it works.
Comparison: Nokia Lumia 710 vs HTC Radar
The Nokia Lumia 710 just launched at T-mobile, but there’s another Windows Phone device the carrier is offering that may sway customers away. It’s the HTC Radar. The Nokia Lumia 710 costs less than the Radar, but it appears that HTC’s device offers more features. Here’s my video comparison. Take a look.
Nokia Maps on Nokia Lumia 900 at 2012 CES
You’ve probably seen Nokia Maps before, but have you seen it on a Nokia Lumia 900? It was hard to actually play with a Nokia Lumia 900 at CES but I found a table at their booth that showed more than just the homescreen and the application list. Nokia’s location and commerce team were demonstrating mapping applications on the Nokia Lumia 900. This video shows off Nokia Maps.
Nokia City Lens beta on Nokia Lumia 900 at 2012 CES
Nokia City Lens is a beta app for Windows Phone currently in the works by Nokia’s location/commerce team. We get a preview from Nokia at CES using the Nokia Lumia 900. Take a look.
SurfCube 3D Browser Is Better Than Internet Explorer for Windows Phone
SurfCube is a web browser for Windows Phone available at the Marketplace. You can choose to use it on the Nokia Lumia 800 instead of Internet Explorer. It has an interesting 3D interface. Swipe from edges to open tabs, settings, or the address bar. If you don’t like the swipe gestures, you can enable the bottom menu to navigate through the app.
Demo: Thumba Photo Editor is like Photoshop for Windows Phone
I keep finding new things to love about Windows Phone on the Nokia Lumia 800. I really like the deep integration third-party apps can have with the core Windows Phone experience. For example, let’s take a look at the app called Thumba Photo Editor. After taking a photo with the camera, you can head to options then tap apps. This will send the photo directly to the app for some photo editing. For the end-user, this makes the third party app feel like a built-in feature.
Recap of Big Windows Phone and Night Party with Windows Phone
The Windows Phone team definitely knows how to throw parties. Here’s a video recap of what happened on Monday. We checked out the big Windows Phone display at Herald Square in New York City on Monday. There was a performance by the Far East Movement. The giant Windows Phone was very functional. Live Tiles were moving and even received push notifications.
Let’s Call it a Windows Phone Monday
This Monday’s schedule has been taken over by Windows Phone! At around 10:45AM (Eastern Time), we were invited to a “Backstage” event with the Windows Phone team. Windows Phone president Andrew Lees and Windows Phone VP Joe Belfiore will be there along with a host of partners. According to the invite, that’s not the only big thing Windows Phone has planned.
Demo: Bing Search on Windows Phone is Surprisingly Good
I use Google to search the web, but Bing Search on Windows Phone is surprisingly good. To be more specific, the four options at the bottom of the app are actually fun to use. There’s location, music recognition, product scanner, and voice search. I made this video so you can see how it works before you get the Nokia Lumia 800 or Nokia Lumia 710.
