Nokia Lumia 800 Windows 8 phone Review

By

AT&T and Nokia are reportedly set to launch the Lumia 900 Windows Phone in the U.S. on March 18, according to mobile tech news site BGR.
It's nice to see that AT&T is expediting this release, as the Lumia phones, particularly the 900, were the toast of CES this year. But it's the proposed price that really lights my fire. BGR's "trusted source" says that the Lumia 900 will retail for $99.99 on a two-year AT&T contract.
What the what??
If that's true – and AT&T has not yet given the Lumia 900 the technical green light for retail so it's a big IF – then that would be a steal for consumers. A hundred dollars for a smartphone with high-end specs such as 4G LTE connectivity, a front-facing camera, a 4.3-inch ClearBlack AMOLED display with Corning Gorilla Glass protection,1.4GHz Snapdragon processor and an 8MP camera? That's rock bottom pricing, folks.
The iPhone 4S and comparable Android phones are in the $150-$200 range or more (the Motorola Droid Bionic and Samsung Galaxy Nexus, both Android phones that support 4G LTE, debuted at $299).
Clearly, Nokia, Microsoft and AT&T are hoping they can gain leverage here by pricing aggressively. And can you blame them? Windows Phones have not been able to get off the ground despite hundreds of millions poured into advertising. It's time to play the price card and see what happens.

How to turn off Ringbacks on Rogers

By
Rogers just update you to the latest iPhone value pack, or figure out some other way to stick you with their ringbacks service, and you’re desperate to find out how to turn it off? They don’t want to make it easy — they want you to pay money for more Ringbacks — but after over an hour of waiting on 3 different customer service and tech support reps, I got the answer. Here it is: From your Rogers iPhone, text 555 with the word OFF. You’ll get an autoreponder with a link to http://rogers.com/ringbacksoff Tap the link. You need to be on Rogers’ network (i.e. not Wi-Fi) to access this page! Scroll down to the bottom and turn OFF both Ringbacks and Voice Greetings. (Yes, Ringbacks are so annoying they require and additionally annoying Voice Greeting to beg the people who call you not to hang up while they’re annoyed by the Ringback.) Rogers tried to get me to give Ringbacks a chance, saying if I loved the Beatles and my friends new I loved the Beatles, I could entertain them w...

Best Ipad and Iphone Photography Apps

By
Longtime Exposure Calculator Price: Free/ Available for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad Long-exposure photography fanatics will know that an ND filter can be essential when it comes to extending exposure time for those all-important open shutter shots. Longtime Exposure Calculator by HPR-Solutions is a free iPhone,iPad and iPod touch app that enables you to dial in a projected shutter speed to one column and then 'add' an ND filter as graded in both f/stops and filter names (eg 3 stop or ND8) in the other column. The app then calculates the adjusted exposure. While it is, in part, possible to TTL meter with an ND filter attached to the front of a camera's lens, the results won't always be accurate, and there's a point where things get so dark that it's not possible - especially with in-vogue super-dense filters. Having an off-camera calculation method such as this makes it quick and easy to figure out exposures without so much as needing to put those brain...

How to Reload Operating System on Nuked or Bricked BlackBerry

By
Good Afternoon Class! I’ve been a bit slack in my  BlackBerry 101  lectures as of late – I blame the  Smartphone Round Robin , all the  Contests  we’ve been running on the site and the busy Holiday Season. My apologies! This will be the last 101 lecture of the year… but we’ll be back in 2008 bigger and better than ever. Today’s lecture isn’t really a “newbie” topic, but it’s one that I wanted to cover because in the past three weeks I’ve gone through it half a dozen times and that is  Reloading the Operating System on a BlackBerry that’s totally “Nuked” . I’m not sure if nuked is the technically appropriate word for it (I also use one that starts with an F and ends in an ED and has a CK in the middle), but it is how I refer to a BlackBerry that is stuck in a permanent reboot cycle and is completely, completely unusable. With a Nuked Berry, essentially the device turns on (red LED comes on for a few seconds), then you see the white screen with the hou...
