		<description><![CDATA[UK Windows Phone fans who weren&#8217;t sufficiently inspired by the 3.7-inch display on the Nokia Lumia 800 to make a purchase can now get their grubby mits on a pristine 4.3-inch-toting Lumia 900, with Phones4u offering the black or white version, replete with Windows Phone Tango functionality. The Nokia Lumia 900 will be offered through O2, Vodafone or Orange on a variety of tariffs, or SIM-free for £36 (about $53), which is a wee bit steep compared to the HTC One X and Galaxy S3, premium devices which will only set consmers back an extra $7-8 per month. The Lumia 900 offers a vibrant 4.3-inch Clearblack AMOLED panel with 800 x 480 pixels, jogging along smoothly on a 1.4GHz single-core CPU backed by 512MB RAM. The 8MP camera out back is one of the best in its class, and everything is contained in a tough polycarbonate shell. The version of the Nokia Lumia 900 on sale in the UK offers HSPA+ connectivity, delivering speeds of 5MB/s+. You can read a full review of the Lumia 900 here.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[LG E740 Fantasy may never be launched because the company has decided not to produce any more windows based phones. In early 2012 LG decided to focus on Android projects as a result of which development of windows based E740 was stopped. In a way it is a wise decision to cancel the launch of this phone as it seems to be an ordinary window based model and frankly speaking, even if it was launched it would not have been successful because Nokia Lumia 610 is simply far more superior than LG E740 in all aspects. The features of LG E740 are nothing great. It has a 4” TFT LCD display, the CPU is 1 GHz Scorpion. It has 8GB storage out of which 5.6GB is available. Its memory is of 512MB out of which 356 MB is available. It has a 1.3MP camera in the front and 5MP camera with no flash at the back. It also has NFC and Compass. The phone is mainly made out of plastic and thus the look and feel is not at all impressive but then we also need to consider the fact that this is just a prototype and not the final version that was to be released. The phone is quite light in weight. It is not at all stylish in fact it looks quite unexciting. An advanced version of this phone was shown on the Telus branding and that looked amazing and technically advanced. The hardware buttons of the phone are quite annoying; the phone looks similar to the sprint version. It looks as if LG has intentionally incorporated these buttons. The screen is very dull as compared to Nokia ClearBlack. The only unique characteristic of this phone is NFC or near-field communication hardware. This is a great addition but it is not known whether this is LG design or a feature provided by Microsoft. All that we know is NFC is the strongest feature of this phone. The LG E740 Windows phone has OS build 8107 which is Windows Phone Mango CR1, this version had received NFC API but this support was not provided to Mango Proper build 7740. With the help of NFC it becomes easy to share data with other NFC enabled devices. All you need to do is keep the phone next to another NFC enabled device. NFC operations are very advanced and are likely to overtake Bluetooth operations in future. Nokia Lumia 610NFC device has become very popular, LG too has been working on the similar technology for quite some time now. LG was the first company that worked on the Windows OS to produce some cool apps such as ScanSearch and voice to text app. Inspite of having a 1GHz CPU, the Windows phone OS seems to be a bit slothful in LG E740 but this may also be because the version that is being analyzed is not the final product. LG E740 has a rear camera of 5 MP. The camera settings provides some amazing features such as intelligent shot, inbuilt Panorama shot, etc. It also provides the option for Color effects and White balance. The camera version is good, it does not have a flash but still it deserves appreciation. The front facing camera is nothing great. Actually it is not fair to judge a prototype that is still under development and even LG should not talk about what this phone could have been. However LG has never disappointed its customers as all its products have been one the best in the industry. But most of the features that this unfinished phone has to present are mediocre. Since phones like Nokia Lumia 610 have been launched in the market and are very superior in quality, LG E740 would not have excited customers even if it was quoted at a low price.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Windows Phone Marketplace offers just 80,000 apps, compared to the half a million-plus available for Android or iOS users. That means WP7 folk often have to look that bit harder to find quality apps, and often have to wait a while before the best and most popular applications are ported to the Windows Phone platform. This week Nokia announced deals with a whole bunch of companies to add their apps exclusively to Nokia&#8217;s new range of Lumia devices. The deals help Nokia use the Windows Phone environment to provide exclusive content for users of its handsets. Amongst the companies involved in the deal, announced at the CTIA wireless conference, are Box, Groupon, EA, ESPN, and Rovio, all of whom will be glad to be able to fast-track the WP7 version of their apps to the more powerful Lumia range of devices. Porting to the Windows Phone platform is often complicated by the low specification list supported by Microsoft&#8217;s mobile ecosystem. Thus Windows Phone developers can be confident of offering a premium user experience to users of premium WP7 handsets, without being hamstrung by the need to support the lowest common denominator specs. The move further enhances Nokia&#8217;s credentials as the leading OEM on the WP platform by allowing it to provide a superior service to that offered by other manufacturers of Windows Phone devices. Rovio has made known that it has assembled a crack team of devs to develop specifically for the Lumia handsets, as well as adapting apps for the wider Window Phone platform , and the other companies involved have been able to promise three-month and six-month exclusives for the Groupon app, the AOL Entertainment Hub, Tripdots Travel, PGA Tour &#8211; looks like the WP7 platform is beginning to show promise. Nokia has disclosed that it is part-funding the dedicated Rovio team, with exclusive content in the pipeline &#8211; the press release mentioned &#8216;innovative new products and content exclusively for Nokia Lumia smartphones&#8217;. Other apps were announced for the Windows Phone environment as a whole &#8211; Time, Newsweek, and PayPal applications should soon be launched across all WP7 devices. Nokia Lumia smartphones are now selling in 48 different countries, with two million sales already notched up. Nokia has had a difficult couple of years, but latest figures for Q1 2012 suggest the company&#8217;s biggest problem right now is meeting demand for the company&#8217;s Lumia 900 in the US, which went on sale a couple of weeks ago. Apparently demand for the light blue version of the Lumia 900 is particularLy strong. The Nokia Lumia 900 is taking the Windows Phone ecosystem to a new level, offered on contract for just $99. On paper the Nokia Lumia 900 might not seem like a premium deal &#8211; single core 1.4GHz CPU paired with a mediocre resolution 800 x 480 display. But in Nokia&#8217;s favor, the WP7 Tango OS is wonderfully intuitive and smooth, and lag-free even if not as snappy as more premium-priced smartphones. Great camera, reliable, intuitive Microsoft OS, fabulous display quality, low screen resolution. Windows XP could run smoothly on a desktop with half these specs, so Microsoft livewires only need to ensure the app ecosystem is in place to make WP7, and the Lumia 900, a success.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Social Mints is a free app created by Techark Solution for Windows Phone users. The developer of this application has also developed application like Mood Swing and Dress Pal. The idea behind the launch of this Social Mints app is to allow its users to be updated about what’s happening in their social network and provide the essential data in an organized format. The app will get all the data from various social networking/bookmarking sites, blogs and news and then it displays the info in certain layout. The User Interface of this app is amazing. The Social Mints app is of high quality which is why it was declared the winner for Core 77 Fast Track. It has also been featured by Microsoft at the Mobile World Congress. On the main screen the user will find the search field and filters so that the user can refine the search but the loading time increases if a lot of filters are defined for the search criteria. The Mints search shows topics that are currently trending in user’s social account, news and blogs. The user would like to check the Mints Search when s/he wants to look at the latest trends and events. Mints can also be saved and viewed later. While searching if you come across something really interesting then you can create a “to do” for that mint and that will be displayed in “my to do list” in the app till the task is completed. The application offer simple twitter and Facebook connectivity options. The main screen also provides information on what this app is all about. You can view information on other popular apps by Techark Solutions on the final pane. The speed of Social Mints depends on the connectivity of the network, how popular the searched terms are and what filters have been implemented to refine the search. Your search results will be displayed in statistics related to 4 very important parameters by the name of strength, sentiment, passion and reach. The strength displays the possibility of your brand to be discussed on the social network. Sentiment displays the Positive vs Negative opinions on your brand. Passion gives a figure related to how many individuals will again talk about your brand and Finally, Reach describes the influence on of your brand. To understand what the above mentioned figures mean you will have to select the tile that display the parameter’s name with the figure. You can pin the live tile displaying the above mentioned parameters on to the home screen for convenient access in future. On the snapshots pane of this application if you swipe the screen towards the right you will see the sentiment data displayed in the form of a pie chart. This helps you evaluate the positive, negative and neutral responses. Moving on will display a chart for top users followed by the top twitter hashtags. All the feed is displayed in the final pane. The searched content is displayed in this pane along with the name of the source and the time at which it was retrieved. Social Mints is a very extraordinary application with an extraordinary design. Users can search trends and easily save and pin mints to the home screen. It is a must have application for all windows phone users who are active on social networks. The Social Mints app can be downloaded for free from the Windows marketplace.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Viber, the popular voice and texting app for iOS and Android, has been released in beta on the Windows Phone platform and can be downloaded free from the Windows Phone Marketplace. But at the moment the early beta version only allows Windows Phone users to text or send pictures &#8211; voice calls are not yet supported. Viber promises in the Windows Phone Marketplace that voice support is coming soon, vowing to let Viber users make free calls to other Viber users anywhere in the world. That should drum up some interest in the app. Viber also released a version of the app for Blackberry devices this week, but as with the Windows Phone version, the Blackberry Viber beta app does not yet have voice call support. Despite these early hiccups, the Viber app now has 70 million users globally, and is signing up 200,000 new users every day. Between them Viber users send 40 million messages to each other daily. Viber is a free app for Windows Phone 7.5 or higher at marketplace. Enjoy these Viber app pics :]]></description>

		<title>MoneySupermarket Launch UK`s First Car Insurance Comparison App</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Price comparison company MoneySupermarket recently stole a march on its rivals and released the first car-insurance comparison application for UK customers with smartphones and tablets. For a long time, price comparison has been largely restricted to PCs or laptops but with this app it is possible to use your iPhone, iPad or Android device to check out the best quotes for car insurance. At the moment, there is no app available for the Windows Phone platform, but Money Supermarket is looking to develop its app for a variety of as yet unsupported mobile operating systems, so it could be on the horizon. The MoneySupermarket app is free, which is particularly important given that this kind of comparison service is all about saving you money. You might be charged for any data which is used if you search for quotes over a mobile data connection, but harnessing your Wi-Fi network at home will avoid this issue. The app remains largely consistent across all platforms when it comes to functionality, although it has obviously been altered in order to accommodate the larger display of the iPad and the different visual styling of Android. Anyone who compares car insurance using this app can benefit from average savings of £374.93, which is a significant sum. There are in excess of 100 insurance companies on the books of Money Supermarket, so you can get a broad selection of offers from various top firms. You will need to register for an account within the app and enter details about yourself and your car when you get started, but this data is all saved so that you will not need to go through this again later. Policies are ranked by price and it is also easy to see what extras are provided by each company, which means you will be able to get extra benefits such as windscreen cover and a courtesy car if you wish. The touch-friendly interface is particularly intuitive on smartphones, while the tablet interface for the iPad is suitably designed to fill the device&#8217;s display. If you are using the application from a mobile phone then you will have the option to call the insurers directly, which means there is no need to seek out separate contact numbers. This is a clever feature which recognises that some people will actually want to use their mobile as a phone and talk to a human being before they commit to a car insurance policy. This is probably an essential download for anyone with an Apple or Android device, since it will let you carry out your annual car insurance renewal when you are on the move. Renewing each year will be easier than ever because the app saves your details and can get you new quotes in just three taps, eliminating the complexity typically associated with comparing prices through a desktop web browser.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Windows Phone services are being launched in a load more countries this week, with the Windows Phone Marketplace now rolling out in (deep breath) Bulgaria, Costa Rica, Croatia, Estonia, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey, Ukraine, Venezuela, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kazakhstan, Israel, Thailand, and Vietnam. Each of the affected countries can now customize the Windows Phone Marketplace storefront and can now include Widows Phone apps. Microsoft will ensure any apps included on individual conutries&#8217; Windows Marketplace conform to standards set out by Microsoft, including ensuring keywords in the apps are relevant to the actual app. Microsoft&#8217;s blog announcing the changes promises that Windows Phone Marketplace users in the newly-included countries should begin to see more relevant app search results within a few weeks. The blog also repeated that Microsoft is soon to remove the ability to purchase Windows Phone apps from Zune software, so the Marketplace will be the only way to purchase apps. In another development, Microsoft is inviting developers to a Windows Phone developer conference in June, and there is speculation that the Apollo OS update will also be included in the proceedings. The two-day summit will take place on June 20-21 in San Francisco. Many devs expect Microsoft to begin revealing details of the Windows Phone 8 OS, codename Apollo, at the conference. Microsoft has promised that existing WP7 apps will run on WP8 handsets, but it&#8217;s still unclear whether smartphones running WP7 will be able to upgrade to WP8. There are fears in the dev community that current devices won&#8217;t be getting a WP8 Apollo update, meaning buyers of such handsets as the Nokia Lumia 900 will have an outdated OS in as little as six months&#8217; time. That&#8217;s surely not the way for Microsoft to make its mark on the mobile OS sphere.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Nokia Lumia 900 has arrived on AT&#038;T LTE network taking the Windows Phone ecosystem to a new level. And all the more so since the Lumia 900 is being offered on contract for a trifling $99 buy-in. But for such a low price, the Lumia, on paper at least, might not seem like a premium deal &#8211; a single core 1.4GHz CPU paired with a pretty low resolution 800 x 480 display. The 4.3-inch panel is surrounded now a narrow bezel, compared with the gently contored Lumia 800&#8242;s edge-to-edge screen. And the Lumia 900 features a roughened texture compared with the silky finish of the much-acclaimed Nokia Lumia 800. Power On-Off, volume dial, and dedicated camera keys all sit on the right-hand edge of the handset, leaving the left side of the Lumia 900 free of buttons. On the bottom edge is the speaker, slightly recessed from the polycarbonate chassis to prevent users muffling its output with clumsy hand placement. Headphone jack and microUSB ports are situated on the top edge, both uncovered. The rear surface is smartly contoured, and houses the metallic surround of the 8MP camera, complete with f/2 Carl Zeiss lens and dual LED flash. On the front face is a VGA camera for video calls, and three capacitive Windows Phone buttons. Where the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and HTC One X offer HD displays, the firmware tyranny that is the Windows Phone spec list has insisted on an 800 x 480 pixel screen, but Nokia ClearBlack AMOLED technology makes for thrillingly vibrant visuals, with use in direct sunlight problem-free. The uncomplicated design of the Windows Phone 7 UI sits well on the Nokia Lumia 900. However, viewing image-rich web pages or checking out snaps emphasizes the fact that really, 800 x 480 pixels is a low res display. That hardware straitjacket is the weakest link in Microsoft&#8217;s attempt to establish itself in the mobile handset sphere. The Nokia Lumia 900 goes some way to disguise mediocre app loading times with fancy animations, but the novelty will doubtless wear off soon enough for avid phone users, and perhaps leave them wishing for a little more zip. A dualcore chip would have probably silenced low-res grumbles for many users, though the 1.4GHz Snapdragon and 512MB RAM pairing still manage to deliver smooth system performance, with quick navigation around the live tile homescreen and app menus. Lumia 900 outperforms the Lumia 800 across the board in benchmarks. Yet apps don&#8217;t launch as quickly, and scrolling seems faintly labored. Switching to the Lumia 900 from, say, an iPhone or Galaxy 2 is palpably slower, though that&#8217;s to be expected for a handset that sells for 100 bucks on contract. But pedestrian scores on Sunspider&#8217;s crucial browsing benchmark and middling battery life mean the Lumia 900 has cut just about every corner to come in on budget. Half-minute load times for full desktop pages simply doesn&#8217;t cut it in an era when consumers will have read a page in that time on a desktop or even tablet. Fluid pinch-to-zoom and a super-vibrant display don&#8217;t really excuse the poor browsing experience. Battery life is adequate at four-and-a-half hours of video-looping, which equates to almost three days of light use. Nokia&#8217;s image capture prowess does stand out &#8211; the 8MP rear-facer puts the Lumia 900 up there with the Galaxy S2 or iPhone 4S, capable of capturing vivid, engaging photos. Sensors adjust white balance, ISO and exposure automatically and competently. Good depth of field and crisp detail are paired with balanced color fidelity. Just remember you&#8217;ll only really be able to appreciate them on a desktop. 720p video records equally well. The LTE connectivity was typically around 2MB/s, which is fine for streaming Netflix or sharing files over SkyDrive. In Microsoft&#8217;s favor, the WP7 Tango OS is reassuringly intuitive and smooth, lag-free but constrained to a stately procession rather than a headlong dash. Great camera, reliable, intuitive Microsoft OS, fabulous display quality, low screen resolution. Much needed is the software ecosystem in place to make the WP7 ecosystem, and the Lumia 900, a great success.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nokia has launched its latest Lumia Windows Phone handset, with the Lumia 610 now on sale in the Philippines at Nokia&#8217;s store in Manila. The Nokia Lumia 610 was first unveiled at the Mobile World Congress MWC in February, one of the low-spec budget smartphones designed to run the Windwos Phone Tango OS, optimized to run on just 256MB RAM. Thus not every Windows Phone app will run on the new Lumia 610, though Nokia has officially confirmed that the new Skype 1.0 app for Windows Phone runs just fine. The Skype app is not supposed to run on handsets packing less than 512MB of RAM. The Nokia Lumia 610 features a 3.7&#8243; display, 800MHz Qualcomm CPU, a 5MP rear-facing camera, and 8GB storage. The SIM-free version is selling for 11,000 philippino pounds, or $260. The Lumia will start selling in other parts of Asia within weeks and worldwide by the end of June.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As per the Apple’s Co-founder Steve Wozniak’s recent twitter update, he had shown interest in purchasing Nokia Lumia 900. It’s quite interesting that he posted this information on twitter from Foursquare while waiting for the AT&#038;T store to open so that he could check out the phone. However, there has been no confirmation from his side so far on whether he actually purchased a Nokia Lumia 900 or not. Wozniak has shared his experience with the Nokia Lumia 900 phone on anewDomain.net. He spoke to Dan Petterson, Todd Moore and Gina Smith about the phone. Wozniak is quite fond of iPhone because of all the apps and functionality it has to offer but that did not stop him from praising about Nokia Lumia 900 and the Windows Phone OS. He has a couple of Android phones and iPhones and he says that when it comes to looks and beauty, he would prefer Windows phone over Android. He truly feels that Windows phone is intuitive as well as beautiful. As a matter of fact he feels that Nokia Lumia 900 is more beautiful than iPhone or any android phone. Looking at the animations and graphics incorporated in the phone Wozniak feels that the phone is more than just a tool and he would love to carry the Windows phone wherever he goes. He is quite impressed by the phone and finds it quite engaging. The phone is easy to use and its functions are real smooth. He has also pointed out some flaws in the phone such as its inability to do speech-to-text everywhere as in the case of an iPhone or lack of good tool such as Siri for asking question. Although iPhone continues to remain Wozniak’s favorite he says that he would never part from Nokia Lumia 900 as well. His statements have blessed Microsoft and Nokia with a big endorsement. There is still some scope of improvement in the phone’s OS and hardware but Wozniak’s remarks are being considered as a big achievement. Wozniak has clarified that iPhone as always is his favorite phone and he was just giving his opinion on Lumia 900. Lumia 900’s windows OS is beautiful and it can be said that this phone might start a new trend. The phone has a very attractive visual appearance and is quite prompt in its operations.]]></description>
