Nokia TV is  now available for Lumia-branded Windows Phones.

It will arrive in France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Spain, and the U.K. first, with a rollout planned for other countries in the coming weeks. Reading got

Microsoft and Nokia have been going steady for a little bit over a year now and mirroring the customs of marriage, it looks like someone is in for a name change. Revealed by the latest Windows Phone Tango ROM, the update is said to be bringing a change specifically to Nokia Lumia devices, by rebranding

Nokia has revealed its next batch of Windows Phone apps that will remain exclusive to the Finnish firm’s Lumia devices. In addition to official PGA Tour and ESPN applications, Nokia is also teaming up with Rovio to deliver Angry Birds Space. The PGA Tour application will be the first to hit the Windows Phone Marketplace, with

Nokia shareholders have lashed back at the firm’s executives with a class-action lawsuit filed on behalf of law firm Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd. The shareholders are complaining at the lack of Nokia’s Lumia device sales, even though the company recently announced that it has sold 5 million Lumia-branded phones. “The complaint alleges that during the

Nokia is determined to do its bit to bolster the Windows Phone Marketplace, so much so that it is giving Windows Phone developers free Lumia devices. The Finnish firm has now handed out over 17,000 handsets in total, but it’s hoping to increase that to 25,000 in the near future. Nokia’s pledge, which was announced

Despite a relatively successful start — especially in the U.S. — Nokia’s Lumia devices don’t seem to be doing enough to turn the Finnish company’s fortunes around. Its credit rating continues to fall, and after a dismiss first quarter, market intelligence firm Standard & Poors downgraded Nokia’s bonds to “junk status.” Nokia is now hoping

Despite Microsoft’s best efforts — and a gigantic partnership with Nokia — it’s not looking good for the company’s mobile platform. It’s been a year and a half since the Redmond-based company introduced Windows Phone 7, but still the OS has yet to take off. In fact, and even more discouraging, customers are chucking Windows

While Nokia’s Lumia devices may not be going down as well in Europe as they are in the U.S., the Finnish firm is hoping its Lumia 900 can change that. The handset has already become a big success for AT&T in the U.S., and it could do the same for British carriers from next month.

Nokia Lumia users are reporting that certain Lumia 800 and Lumia 710 devices have entered the market with stock Qualcomm bootloaders that provide full access to the handset’s onboard memory.

New data from a Reuters poll of analysts suggests Samsung may have dethroned Nokia as the global cellphone leader. Nokia had previously held the crown for 14 consecutive years. Data culled from a Nokia sales announcement on Wednesday, along with the continued popularity of Samsung, indicates the South Korea-based company has surpassed the Finnish handset

AT&T has been betting big on the Lumia 900, Nokia’s latest flagship smartphone. The carrier is so focused on the phone’s success that it subsidized the device to just $99 with a new two-year contract. That’s a steal for any 4G LTE smartphone, let alone one with an 8-megapixel camera, Windows Phone 7.5 Mango and

Nokia on Wednesday lowered its first quarter 2012 guidance for its Devices and Services group and noted disappointing estimated financial results from the division. Nokia also confirmed that it has already sold 2 million units of its Lumia-branded smartphones, however, and that momentum is expected to grow during the quarter. “Our disappointing Devices & Services

AT&T’s April 8th release date for the Lumia 900 is nearing and, in preparation for the multi-million dollar launch, Nokia may be building a new marketing site called the “Smartphone Beta Test.” The website is home to several anti-iPhone videos that are likely part of a future U.S. marketing campaign promoting the Lumia 900. Nokia’s marketing department

As their names suggest, both devices are CDMA variants

Nokia is prepared to unveil the Lumia 610 during Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next week, Reuters said Wednesday. A number of other rumors have also already suggested that the Finnish phone maker will unveil a new entry-level device, possibly named the 601 or the 610 and running Windows Phone Tango, that will be targeted at emerging

Nokia Lumia fans in Europe are still waiting for the Finnish company to announce the launch of the Lumia 900 across the pond, but there have been reports that we’ll get a Lumia 910 instead. The device was expected to be almost identical to the Lumia 900, but with its LTE chip removed and a

A spec page for the Nokia Lumia 910 has shown up on the web. Live on Dutch retailer Typhone’s site, the Nokia 910 appears to be almost identical to the Lumia 900 that was unveiled at CES, however, swaps the 8-megapixel rear-facing camera in the 900 for a 12-megapixel shooter and gets rid of the

Have you ever wondered why Nokia chose to use Microsoft’s Windows Phone platform for its future handsets, and not Google’s Android operating system? Or why it didn’t just launch devices for both markets like Samsung or HTC? Well, it may be something to do with quarterly payments of around $250 million. The Finnish company released
