Nokia Lumia 920 Finally Here!
The phone which a lot of you have been waiting for is finally officially here: the Nokia Lumia 920. I am not sure what the suggested retail price is, but the Nokia Lumia 920 can be had for Php25,750. Yup, this is with a full manufacturers warranty.
This Nokia Lumia 920 is the current king of Windows Phones. Putting this phone on the top of the Windows 8 Pack is the combination of a 4.5-inch HD (768 x 1280) PureMotion HD+ display with clear black technology, a 8MP primary camera with Carl Zeiss Optics and optical image stabilization, and finally an LTE chip.
This is the first smartphone with optical image stabilization. GSMArena explains how all this works. A gyroscope is used to detect the motion of the phone and the whole optical assembly moves in the opposite direction to cancel out the movement. That happens 500 times a second.
If you are still holding on to your Nokia N8 with its revolutionary camera, this really is probably the phone for you. If you the camera on a phone is a major consideration, you should really take a long look at this phone.
We wrote more about the Nokia Lumia 920 in a previous post at this link.

Nokia Lumia 520 versus Huawei Ascend W1
Windows Phone has not yet achieved a significant market share, but within the Windows Phone market Nokia is the thousand pound Gorilla. Nokia accounts for 80% of Windows Phone sales. Samsung, the leader in the mobile phone market has pretty much quit on Windows Phones. HTC, which used manufacture the best Windows phones, cannot match Nokias Lumias offerings. Nokia is the big fish, in the still small Windows Phone pond.
But it looks like Nokia is going to be getting some stiff competition from a unexpected source, Huawei. Huawei is now the third largest smartphone manufacturer in the world, and its first Windows Phone 8 device, the Ascend W1 looks very impressive for the price and well equipped to compete with Nokias entry level Lumia 520.
Both phones are rather similar, with 4-inch displays, Qualcomm Krait processors, 512 MB of RAM, 5 MP cameras and HSPA+ connectivity. The Ascend W1 has marginally faster processor than the Lumia 520. The Lumia 520 is just a little thinner and lighter. But in deciding between these two entry level Windows Phone 8 devices there are really four areas to consider.
Price. The Lumia 520 is priced at Php7,990. The Ascent W1, is priced 1K more at, Php8,990. The Ascend W1, needs to justify its higher price.
Price update (April 17): The street prices of these units is closer than the gap in suggested retail price. The Huawei Ascend W1 can be had for as low as Php7,700, while the Nokia Lumia 520 is prices a few hundred less at Php7,450.

Camera. Both phones have 5MP primary cameras, but only the Ascend W1 has a LED flash. For wanting to do video calls, the additional cost of the Huawei is agsineagain justified. The Ascend W1 has a VGA front camera, while the Nokia Lumia 520 does not have a front camera.
Storage. Despite being cheaper. the Lumia 520 provides more storage, with 8 GB of internal storage, expandable via a microSD card with official support for 64 GB microSD cards. This is double of what the Ascend W1 offers with 4 GB if internal storage, expandable via a microSD card with official support for 64 GB microSD cards.
On the specs sheet it sounds like double the storage. In the real world it is more like 5:1. With Windows Phone 8, and the bundled applications, leaves you with just a bit over 1 GB of storage available. The Lumia 520 has over 5 GB of storage available.
Yes, both phones support microSD cards, but Windows Phone 8 only makes limited use of the SD card. You can store pictures, video and music on the SD card, but not apps or app data. Every application you download has to be stored and run from the internal storage. User data created by applications will also use internal storage.
In over words, you can store 5 times as many apps on the Lumia 520 as you can on the Ascend W1.
Battery. The Lumia 520 has a 1430 mAh battery, which is a decent size for a 4-inch phone. The Ascend W1 has a generous 1950 mAh battery, which is a third larger than the Lumia 520.
Conclusion. Which is best for you depends. The Ascend W1 easily justifies it higher price with a front camera and larger battery, but the 1 GB or so of internal storage may not be enough for a fair number of users. For the typical smartphone users the 1 GB of internal storage for apps should be enough. On the other hand some games like Modern Combat 4 are 1 GB in size all on their own (Note: I am not sure if Modern Combat 4 will run on either of these phones).
Entry level phones mean compromise. For me, the best compromise would be the Ascend W1. I can live with 1 GB for apps and would benefit more from the longer battery life. Apps like Facebook and gMaps are only 4 MB. Twitter is 2 MB in size. But if you want to install plenty off apps, especially games, the Lumia 520 is the better choice.

Nokia Lumia 928 accessories spotted on Amazon pretty much confirm leaked pics
Generally speaking, when you are seeing accessories for an as-yet-unannounced product on sale, you can count on seeing that product make its debut fairly soon.
Of course, we could also see these offerings disappear too, the result of a mistaken click of the webmaster or merchant getting set up for a future roll out.
The images from the merchant’s accessory offering (which by the way is not a terrible deal from the looks of it) have taken a Nokia Lumia 920 and placed it within a rendering of their hard cover case. We know this because the back of the device shows the 920’s double-LED flash while the cut-out shows ample room for something more (like a xenon flash).
The cutout for the speaker is present as well, and the rest looks like standard fare for a Nokia design, volume, power/lock and camera buttons along the right side of the device and there it is. This certainly not spoof of some kind as the vendor has a solid rating and thousands of reviews on Amazon.
If you are planning on picking up a Nokia Lumia 928 whenever it becomes available, and counting on Verizon or Nokia to actually announce the device, this could be an opportunity to get some handy accessories for it.

Nokia Astound Go Official
The outside looks of the Astound are practically a copy of the ones on the Nokia C7, except for the T-Mobile logo on the front. This also means that the 3.5-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 360 x 640 remains unchanged.
In terms of applications, the most notable change is the addition of a YouTube client – unlike the C7, the Astound has a true application for watching YouTube videos and doesnt just redirect you to the mobile version of the website. The Astound also brings free turn-by-turn navigation with pre-loaded maps of the United States and Canada. All of this is powered by Ovi Maps in its latest version supporting traffic information.

Nokia E7 vs iPhone 4
The Nokia E7 has a 4-inch screen, larger than the 3.5-inch screen of the Apple iPhone 4. Both screens are 16M colour capacitive touchscreens.
The Apple iPhone 4 has a faster processor at 1GHz against the 680 MHz processor of the Nokia E7. However, the Nokia E7 has an 8-megapixel main camera against the 5-megapixel main camera of the Apple iPhone 4.
Of course, each device comes with what the Nokia boss calls its own ecosystem, which translates into a whole range of support services and applications that are unique to each device. Apple has its App store and its programs and services, while Nokia has its Ovi store and its programs and services. Each one is independent of the other, but many developers have hedged their bets by making versions of their software for each platform, and of course, for the increasingly-dominant Android OS as well.
However, looking at the current prices of both devices, the Apple iPhone 4 is a lot more expensive when it is unsubsidised. The unsubsidized Apple iPhone 4 is a full RM 1000 more than the unsubsidised Nokia E7. I think the Apple iPhone 4 has its brand strength, but the Nokia E7 brings a better camera and a slide-out keyboard to the mix.
An extra RM 1000 seems like a bit too much to pay, but at the same time we must consider that the Symbian OS of the Nokia is to be phased out in favour of a Windows operating system as the result of their recent partnership with Microsoft.
There are numerous payment schemes for the Apple iPhone 4, even some where the local Malaysian Telco has a zero down payment offer. However, it would cost quite a lot of monthly payments to ransom the Apple iPhone 4 from its contract. Before that contract time is up you would likely find that an Apple iPhone 5 and Apple iPhone 6 are already out there, on sale.
