Apparently Nokia's new flagship, the Lumia 900, is as hard as nails, literally. Having tested the phone's glass and found it to be super tough, the next logical step is see how it would hold up against a couple of nails and a hammer, obviously. Read More >
Over the past few months, Apple, Nokia, RIM and Motorola have all been getting very worked up over something rather boring: SIM cards. After Apple's attempt to capture the market, there's finally a new proposed design—which might actually find its way into your next phone. Read More >

It was only a few days ago when we asked Siri the fateful question, "What's the best smartphone ever?", to which our faithful assistant replied with, er, the Nokia Lumia 900. But now, it seems Siri has the answer to that question with a varied amount of witty and humorous responses. Read More >

What's the best smartphone ever? That's a difficult question; there are quite a few pretty decent phones around at the moment. You've got the HTC One series; Samsung's new incoming Galaxy S III; LG's Optimus 4XHD; not to mention the iPhone 4S. But according to Siri, none of the others make the grade -- it's all about Nokia's Lumia 900. Read More >

We might have been just a tad sceptical that Nokia's 41-megapixel-monster would be any good, image quality wise at least. But then who'd have thought that maxing it out at the full 41MP on a sensor the size of a microSD card would let you zoom in that far, and clearly still see what you're actually looking at. It's just like those TV cop shows where they go "enhance that" on the most horrendously low-res image ever, and by the miracle of TV you can actually see the perp's face. Read More >

Nokia. Nokia, Nokia. You were doing things well. You made a smartphone that was well received, and looked nothing like an iPhone. People liked it. People are buying it. And then you created a video parody of Rack City. Nokia... Read More >
Despite the fact that it was delayed and wasn't set to land on our shores until Monday, it looks like at least one retailer in the UK has had an early shipment of Nokia's newest flagship the Lumia 900, and instead of sitting on them, it's flogging them right now in-store and online. Read More >

Brightness ratings and contrast ratio make for lovely tech spec reading when you're shopping for a new device. But neither tells you how usable a display will actually be in everyday ambient light situations. So DisplayMate put some of the more popular options to the test. Read More >

Nokia's hurting, financially at least, with record losses being reported as its dumbphone sales decline. But its Lumia range is actuallyprettygood and although it's a struggle, Nokia is slowly gaining a little bit of traction, at least here in the UK.
