Review of the R2 Nokia Lumia 800

May 10, 2012 in Windows Phone 7 Tweet

The new R2 Nokia Lumia 800 is an upgraded version of the N9, and several of its most loved features carried over to the R2. Its sleek charcoal exterior resembles its predecessor and its polycarbonate shell is remarkably scratch resistant. An expertly crafted Gorilla Glass screen is arguably the best we’ve seen yet and incredibly snug. The phone’s light sensors are tucked away behind the convex glass, which leaves its front panel smooth and undisturbed. Only the Nokia logo, Windows Phone symbol and earpiece stand in the way.

Design Elements

The device’s left side is left untouched, while the right side contains the lock/power button, volume and camera controls. Forget the traditional plastic components, this phone’s side buttons are made of metal. The R2′s speaker is precisely drilled into its bottom and is home to the device’s microphone. A 3.5mm jack sits atop the phone with a MicroUSB port next to it. Simply push one side to open the flap to pop out the micro SIM slot.

May 10, 2012 in Operating Systems, Windows 8 Tweet

Microsoft normally start a special promotional offer coming up to the release of their new operating system to try stop users from holding off on buying computers until its launched. Microsoft offered a free upgrade to Windows 7 for all Windows Vista users who purchased new machines that came running Windows Vista in the months leading up to the release of Windows 7.

While we are yet to hear of an official offer from Microsoft, PC World have received some information from their sources with regards to a similar promotional offer for Windows 8.

Apparently Microsoft will be offering anyone who purchases a Windows machine running Windows 7 a reduced price to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro. When customers make their purchase, they will receive special promotional coupons which will entitle them to Windows 8 Pro at a special price, but it won’t be for free.

The below image is apparently the promotional flyer that Microsoft have been sending around to their retailers and partners.

Windows 8 Interview: Interview with Manan Kakkar

Manan Kakkar

I met Manan Kakkar in the press room at the Microsoft BUILD conference last September.

Manan is a soft spoken tech writer who writes about technology for ZDNet, Techie Buzz and my his blog Being Manan.

He's a Microsoft MVP for Windows Desktop (2009, 2010 & 2011) and he just finished his masters degree in Information Management from Syracuse.

You can check out his very cool visual CV.

I took some time to check in with him about Windows 8.

Onuora: Thanks for taking the time, could you tell us a bit about your background?
Manan: I am an opinionated technology enthusiast from India. I just got done with my Master's in Information Management and am looking for a job.

Onuora: I assume you've had a chance to see and play with the Windows 8 Consumer Preview, what were your first impressions?
Manan: It's a tablet OS. Animations were fluid, it's going to annoy me by switching between desktop and Metro mode.

Onuora: What do you think of the Windows 8 Metro interface?
Manan: Love it. I wasn't a Zune owner but have been using Windows Phone 7 devices since launch. I love Metro, the apps shown on Windows 8 so far are promising and it's an excellent design framework for mobile apps.

Onuora: What do you think of the overall Windows 8 vision?
Manan: Three years ago I would've said they're over achieving, today I say they're slower than a company like MSFT should be in achieving a fantastic, coherent computing experience.

Onuora: Have you had a chance to check out the development tools - Visual Studio etc?
Manan: I've played around with VS for some basic WP7 coding. The tools will play a critical role in MSFT's platform success. If MSFT can get devs to code apps with fresh ideas, they will certainly want to bring those apps to Windows Phone.

Onuora: What do you think about the development tools Microsoft have made available?
Manan: They're a comprehensive starting point for anyone who wants to develop for the platform.

Onuora: What role do you see Windows 8 playing in the enterprise?
Manan: Windows 8 will play an integral role for MSFT. Windows 7 adoption in the enterprise was high in their latest quarter so i don't see desktops being upgraded to W8, enterprise doesn't work like that. They want the latest and greatest, they want the tried and tested. However, the whole Bring Your Own Device trend in enterprise is where Microsoft will do well. W8 tablets are desktops

You don’t need to do a thing

New Windows 8 wallpapers and Metro Screenshots

New Windows 8 Metro Screenshot

Win8china.com is reporting that there are a bunch of new Windows 8 screenshots that are different from the Windows 8 Consumer Preview.

There are obviously some new wallpapers but they also show slight differences in the tile structure in the Metro interface.

Hard to pay too much attention to these kind of trivial leaks when the Windows 8 Release Preview is coming in just a few weeks.

What is interesting is that there is talk online of a Windows 8 Consumer Preview update 2. Doesn't really make sense in light of the fact that the Release Preview is on it's way.

Not-so-rugged construction. Performance is a bit slow.

Bottom Line The puts high-security on a high capacity drive, and backs it up with a lifetime warranty.
