nokia lumia 920

Nokia’s journey with Windows kicked off to a start a couple of years ago, when the first Windows Phone with the Nokia brand lodged itself into welcoming European markets, and then slowly all over. Just as the success over that was dying out, Nokia was pursuing and perfecting its new lineup of phones that get inspiration from completely nascent quarters that isn’t identifiable with the Nokia family of devices. With hoards of time spent on trying to re-do the Nokia look, brand and style of the phone, Nokia has harnessed bonds with Windows more closely than ever. Lumia to the rescue? The glory from the success of the Lumia series is also shared by Windows, which stayed in the back alleys … [Read more...]

iphone 5 vs samsung galaxy s3 vs nokia lumnia 920

After the long wait, what appears to be the most anticipated phone of the year was released on September 12 when iPhone 5 was announced at the Apple Event in California. Based on feedbacks and comments all over the internet, an lot of users were disappointed because there seems to be nothing special about the phone. Some even argued the company misses Steve Jobs and the phone fell below expectation, which is rather unusual of Apple products. Despite the negative feedback, over 2 million iPhone 5 were sold in 24 hours. This clearly shows that despite the tight competition, Apple still has a tight grip in the mobile market. A lot of features expected by users were absent but Apple is Apple. … [Read more...]

There are clear indications that Nokia is losing the smartphone market due to lots of reasons. For over a decade, Nokia's dominance was almost undisputed as demand for Symbian OS kept rising till the emergence and rapid growth of  iOS and Android over the years. Nokia tried several updates to stay alive in the market by upgrading its Symbian platform but obviously, this hasn't helped much. From Symbian ^3, we saw Symbian Anna and Belle which hasn't made much difference. Meego OS was discontined and Maemo too isn't so much in demand. These are clear indications that Nokia definitely has to change its marketing strategy. According to its financial report published last month, Nokia … [Read more...]

January 17, 2012 By 10 Comments
how to retrieve lost memory card password on symbian phones

We all make mistakes and forgetting your memory card password is not uncommon. With a locked memory card, you won't even be able to access your files even if you attach it to your computer with a card reader. However, if you're using a Nokia symbian phone, it's dead easy to retrieve your forgotten security password. This trick only works on hacked phones only because you'll be needing a file explorer to view hidden system folders.  If your phone isn't hacked with open4all patch already applied or platform security turned off, this probably won't work for you. To get your memory card unlocked, follow the procedure below: 1. Open X-plore and press 0 (zero) on your keypad 2. Check all … [Read more...]

How to hard reset nokia E7, N8 and all symbian anna and symbian three touch screen smartphones

Unlike old S60V3 Nokia symbian phones that use the same key combination for hard resetting, newer Nokia screen touch devices use different key combinations to perform a hard reset.

Virus attack 3. Boot -up failure with 'contact the retailer' error message 4. Incompatible applications that can't be fully removed 5. General system error Now, before you perform a hard reset on your Nokia N8 or any symbian smartphone you're using, you should back up your personal data and files as … [Read more...]
