As you can see from the pics (above and below), Sony could be working on a Windows Phone with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Furthermore, rumors suggest that the phone will possibly debut at Mobile World Congress next week. These new pics emerged of what is supposedly a prototype of the device. We don't know anything concrete yet, but Sony will be holding a press event on Sunday, so we should know something more by Monday of next week.
Apparently, Microsoft is going to spend part of its new $200+ Million dollar ad budget on a new aggressive marketing campaign. Apparently, they already kicked it off at CES this year. The ad campaign follows in the footsteps of their "Smoked by Windows Phone" Challenge contest they held during CES this year. Their new full-blown ad campaign will follow a similar idea. Here's what the PhoneArena article said on the subject,
Starting this week, a series of 12 advertisements will be up and rolling on major tech web sites, as well as on the Windows Phone Facebook page, reports the Seattle Times.
The purpose of the advertisements is to convince people that Windows Phone is much faster at performing every day tasks when compared to the iPhone, Android smartphones, or any other type of handset on the market. You know, much like the original “Smoked by Windows Phone” challenge.
Interestingly, the challenge went very well for Microsoft at the CES event, as nearly every single challenger fell to the new Windows Phone OS running on an HTC Titan.
We realize you are probably saying "why the heck is this test important?" To which we would reply, "Well, it isn't, but it sure is cool to watch." There's just something about videos showing feats of strength and endurance of inanimate objects, so we had to share this with you. In this video the Nokia 800 is blasted by a wind that travels at Mach 5 and lives to make another call. Useless? Yes. Impressive? For sure. Enjoy!
Over the past few weeks since CES, we have had hints of several intriguing devices from Fujitsu. We have seen everything from high-end Android smartphones and tablets, to flagship Windows Phone devices as well. Supposedly, at MWC next week, they will have a slew of powerful mobile high-tech gadgets to show off. Initially they will launch in Europe, but their plan is to bring them to North America as well. The above pictured phone, the 6.7mm thin Arrows F-07D smartphone, is just one of these flagship devices, and comes with some interesting features, including LTE 4G, NFC and biometric security. Furthermore, at least several of Fujitsu's devices will be designed with a "global" perspective, sporting multi-band radios designed for maximum world-wide market penetration.
It looks like Fujitsu is trying to hit the ground running as they come into the European and North American markets with new smart-devices. What do you guys think? Could we have another worthy contender in the Windows Phone world?
Some pics of Microsoft's next iteration of Windows Phone, "Tango" have leaked on to the web. The new pics show off some of the new features in the OS, like "the ability to export contacts to a SIM card, handle multiple attachments in a single MMS message and manage roaming both domestically and internationally." There are also rumors that Microsoft is building a native voice recording application for their MMS messaging system. More details on Tango are expected to debut at Mobile World Congress in a couple of weeks.
If you and your significant other are really hard-core tech-geeks, then I suppose the traditional knee-bowing, ring toting, while at a fancy restaurant schtick just won't do. At least, that's the way this particular couple felt about it. A man named Patrick Long, proposed to his long-time girlfriend, Jenny Longman using a Windows phone app. Mr. Long created his own app that was a mirror image of Wordament – a word puzzle game for Windows Phone. He programmed the fake game so that the phrase, “Will you marry me?”, was the final solution. As his lady, worked her way through the words hidden inside of a 4 by 4 letter grid, she eventually uncovered the message. Once you figured out the puzzle, the game started playing wedding music.
Apparently, Jenny enjoyed the unique proposal, because she said yes. A video above shows off how he programmed the app.
The kind folks over at Phonearena did a quick hands on with the new Facebook app. It's quite sharp, speedy and feature rich. The metro look is very polished and professional, which will come as a real treat for those looking for a real upgrade. With all the added functionality of 2.3, we can't but help to be excited about this update. Enjoy the video!
