Elop: Nokia Is Not Moving From Finland    [ 20-12-2011 17:46 ]

Believe it or not, but there has been some rumours doing the rounds that Nokia might be moving its headquarters from Finland to the United States. Common sense would have told you not to put any stock in such chatter, but apparently the rumours had grown strong enough for Stephen Elop, Nokia's CEO, to publicly refute the gossip on Finnish television. Elop, the first non-Finnish CEO at Nokia, told reporters "That's our home [Espoo], our sense of belonging". He made it quite clear what his feelings on the matter were "As long as I am CEO the headquarters is in Espoo". Of course that begs the question; how long will he be ceo?

  Video: Santa Meets Siri    [ 20-12-2011 15:28 ]

Apple adverts are usually a good source for a chuckle, but usually at the advert rather than with it. The cheesey, over the top fawning nature of them either rubs people up the wrong way or produces mirth. It's nice then to be able to chuckle along with an Apple advert for a change as this Xmas themed advert for the iPhone 4S and Siri makes me enither want to puke or laugh hysterically. 'Charming' is what I think they were aiming for here.

Nokia Admits Lumia 800 Battery Bug: Promises Fix    [ 20-12-2011 14:50 ]

Author: Serge Novikov   Source: Nokia     Translation by: Paul Smith     

Nokia have finally admitted what many a Nokia Lumia 800 user already knows; there is a problem with the handset's battery. Specifically the problem affects some variants of the handset according to Nokia and causes the handset to be unable to access the full potential of the 1,000 mAh battery. Nokia recommends users dial ##634# and check out the battery status tab. If that's showing a battery capacity of less than 1,000 mAh then there's a problem.

Nokia does have a fix in the pipeline thankfully, but it won't arrive until early next year. It's being bundled with the planned Lumia 800 update that was due to take place, and which will bring various performance enhancements. Now if you can't wait until the New Year for your battery issue to be fixed Nokia have another solution for you: they will replace your handset. That's a pretty decent offer I have to admit and should help to minimise any PR flack they might receive over this issue.
