Deal Of The Day: $99 Off On Nokia Lumia 900

By David Ponce on 06/27/12 • Leave a comment!

By David Ponce

The Lumia 900 by Nokia is the company’s flagship handset. Lots of people were excited to see it come out just a few weeks ago, but in ever clearer proof that waiting pays, it’s now $0 after today’s rebate with a two year contract with AT&T. This is actually a new deal that’s being offered to match the no longer existing deal from Nokia. “The Lumia 900 is an LTE packing Windows Phone smartphone that features a 4.3″ AMOLED display, 1.4GHz processor, and an 8MP camera.”

Deal Of The Day: $50 Off On Nokia Lumia 900

We saw this same deal back in April, and we’re happy to saw it’s still around. So what you’re looking at is a Nokia Lumia 900, Nokia’s latest flagship phone, for a cool $50 after rebate. It’s usually $100 with a contract, so yeah, you’ll still have to do that here, but at least you’re spending 50% less upfront. “Nokia Lumia 900 features a 4.3″ 480×800 AMOLED display, 4G LTE/HSDPA+ 21Mbps connectivity, 1.4GHz processor, dual-facing cameras (8MP rear, 1.3MP front), 512MB RAM, 16GB built-in storage, microUSB, Bluetooth, 802.11bgn WiFi, GPS, Windows Phone 7.5OS, and more.”

Deal Of The Day: Get A Nokia Lumia 900 For $50

By David Ponce on 04/11/12 • Leave a comment!

The Nokia Lumia 900 is the Finnish giant’s latest hope to placate the iPhone’s dominance on the marketplace. It’s a solid device, which has received mostly positive reviews, if not rabidly glowing ones. If you’re going to buy something other than Apple’s famous little mobile, the Lumia 900 is not a bad choice indeed. And Nokia priced it pretty aggressively to compete with the iPhone, usually charging customers $99 with a two-year contract through AT&T. But today’s deal has it sitting at $50, or even $20 if you’re a current customer who’s renewing a contract.

Violinist Gets Interruped By Nokia Phone Ringing, Responds Like A Boss

This happened quite a few months ago, but just now the tech bloggers seem to have noticed… See, Slovakian violinist Lukas Kmit is pretty awesome. While playing at a Jewish Orthodox Synagogue in Presov a Nokia phone started ringing in the audience with the familiar Marimba tone “Nokia Tune”. Instead of completely halting his performance (as the New York philharmonic did recently), Lukas went with the flow and emulated the ringtone on the spot!

Nokia’s Luna Charger Is Well Designed

By David Ponce on 10/14/11 • 1 Comment

By David Ponce

It might be an Apple world out there, but Nokia’s still a behemoth in the mobile world. And their accessories often come through with an aesthetic degree of design brilliance that we wish they could display in other areas. Take for instance this Bluetooth headset they’re releasing. It’s called the Luna and is really small, really light and comes in 5 different colors. It looks interesting but more importantly has some killer features. NFC (near field communications) makes pairing with your phone as simple as tapping the two together. If you get a call, press down on it to release it and answer the call. You’re done? Hang up by putting the Luna back on its dock. Or use the button if you don’t feel like doing it that way. Also, it’s able to pair with 2 phones, through Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR. With an impressive 8 hours of talk time and up to 60 hours of standby (unplugged, obviously), getting this $69 device seems like a no-brainer.

Nokia Patents Self-Charging Phone, Won’t Work For Lazy People

By Evan Ackerman on 03/09/10 • 4 Comments

At the end of last month, Nokia filed a patent for a “piezoelectric kinetic energy harvester” for mobile phones. If they get it to work, it will enable mobile phones to charge themselves. Brillliant! Why didn’t I think of that?

I’ll tell you why I didn’t think of that. It’s because a “piezoelectric kinetic energy harvester” works by generating electricity from crystals which are compressed by movement. So, the catch is (of course there’s a catch), you have to be moving for the phone to charge. As in, not sedentary in front of the computer. This means that people like me will have dead cell phones 99% of the time, with the remaining 1% of uptime due to bedroom to bathroom transitions plus trips to the fridge. Maybe I’ll just strap it to my cat and bust out the laser pointer for a few hours, that should do the trick.

Cat or no cat, it’s always good to see big companies trying to innovate when it comes to green energy and infinite phone calls. Or at least, it’s good to see them take the first tentative steps in the form of a patent.

Nokia’s Ovi Maps Navigation Might Be Reason Enough To Buy A Nokia Phone

By Evan Ackerman on 01/22/10 • 3 Comments

Generally, a Nokia mobile application isn’t something we’d cover around here. So I think first, I should give you a full disclosure: I got a demo of Nokia’s new Ovi Maps app at a breakfast event yesterday morning that may have included bacon. I am reasonably confident that said bacon didn’t influence my opinion more than a modest amount, but I just thought I’d let you know.

Anyway, let me cut directly to the chase and say that the biggest deal with Ovi Maps, as opposed to something like Google Maps, is that Ovi Maps (which is totally free, btw) does not require a data connection for turn-by-turn voice directions. When you buy a Nokia phone that has GPS and Ovi Maps, it’ll come preloaded with a map of whatever country you’re in. From that point, you don’t need a data plan (or even a SIM card, for that matter) for the phone to provide you with driving directions, walking directions, and points of interest… It’s a great solution if you want a phone, and a GPS, but can’t otherwise justify the staggering expense of a monthly data plan.

Nokia BH-905 Bluetooth Headset Debuts

I am not a big fan of Bluetooth headsets. I think they have their place, like when you are trying to drive in a manual transmission car. However, if you use one while say walking in the mall you should be kicked in the balls (or punched in the ovaries if more appropriate).

If you are into music on your phone, most go for ear buds because they are compact and don’t look as strange on your head as say your massive headphones from 1984. Nokia has announced a new Bluetooth headset called the BH-905 that is quite large. The massive size looks like something you would see with a home stereo rather than a mobile phone or MP3 player.
