I got together with Ben Smith and Rafe Blandford recently to discuss this multibillion-dollar question on episode 9 of the 361 Degrees podcast: Is Apple the next Nokia? Now, all the iFans go absolutely nuts, there’s method in this apparent madness, especially given Apple has just completed yet another ridiculously amazing quarter. If you recall, [...]

38% of MIR readers want an updated 2012 version of the Nokia N95
I’m having a lot of fun with the Urtak ‘collaborative survey’ that I added early this morning. Some of the results are rather stimulating! What’s fascinating about the Urtak functionality is that readers can add their own questions at the end. We started off with my generic 10 mobile ones and we’ve now got another [...]

Orange: Free XBOX 360 when you buy a Nokia Lumia 800
Have you been hearing about this deal from Orange? It’s been capturing the imaginations of quite a few normob (“normal mobile user”) friends and family. I’ve overheard people discussing it multiple times a day so — anecdotally at least — it’s certainly gathering a lot of attention. Here’s the offer: If you upgrade to the [...]
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). I most certainly miss the physical keyboard of the BlackBerry, however I have to say that the Nokia [...]
Like all smartphones, the Nokia Lumia 800′s battery is just ‘ok’
I’ve been using the Nokia Lumia 800 for almost 4 days now, full time. Two of those days have been weekends so I’m not quite ready to give a week’s full summary yet. However what I can tell you is to set your expectations on the Lumia 800′s battery. This should be nothing new to [...]

Hands-on video of Nokia Lumia 800 from the Oxford Street Phones4U store
Thank you to the team at Phones4U who invited me down to their huge Oxford Street store today to check out the Nokia Lumia 800. Now, I was of course at Nokia World for much of the day where I couldn’t move for Lumias, but the reason I wanted to check out Phones4U was to [...]

A look toward Nokia World 2011 from Chris at SlashGear
If you need a bit of a primer for this week’s Nokia World, may I take this opportunity to highlight this overview from Chris at SlashGear. As well as being a dab hand at making coffee, I always find his positioning pieces useful. This will bring you bang up to date with the coverage I’ll [...]
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 [...]

Nokia World: I haven’t seen this much excitement for a long time
I’ve been in and out of meetings today and I’ve been taking the temperature of the UK tech marketplace at each one. I’m surprised at the level of excitement brewing. Expectations are running high. Nokia has done a super job of setting expectations with the odd reveal now-and-again across the last few months. The tech [...]
Quote: “Apple could eat Nokia’s lunch in emerging markets”
I don’t quite agree with this one — there’s about a billion different points I’d like to make but I’m on-the-run. I wanted to post this particularly for the readers out there who have intimate knowledge of Nokia’s rather phenomenal position in the emerging marketplace. I thought it would give you a little chuckle. Have [...]
