I just updated my Nokia Lumia 800. I can't see any visible change yet, except that the OS version is now 7.10.8107.79 and the firmware revision number is now 1600.2479.7740.11451. Strange, according to Nokia Conversations it should be 1600.2483.8106.11500.
The Windows Phone version of Sports Tracker has been just updated. The version 1.1 addresses some stability and connection issues. Also the incorrect altitude data displayed in the workout view has been fixed in this update. In Sports Tracker v.1.1 for Windows Phone German language support has been added. Unfortunately Bluetooth Heart Rate Monitor is still not supported as Windows Phone platform does not yet support the necessary Bluetooth profile. The updated app is now available from Windows Phone Marketplace.
Nokia will be releasing soon the MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan 1.2 beta firmware for Nokia N950. This will allow developers to test their applications to verify compatibility with the PR1.2 before the general release for Nokia N9. The main change which could affect compatibility is the new bigger font size. Click the source for more information.
Yesterday the Nokia Lumia 900 was announced at the CES 2012. According to the press release, it's first of Nokia's Windows Phone-based range to feature high-speed LTE connectivity, suggesting that more LTE phones are coming from Nokia. It's coming exclusively to AT&T in the coming months in cyan and matte black. There was no word on the pricing and the availability of Nokia Lumia 900 for Europe and rest of the world.
The main differences of Nokia Lumia 900 compared to Lumia 800 are the 4.3" AMOLED ClearBlack Display, front facing camera, 1830 mAH battery and, of course, the 4G LTE network support. The design of Nokia Lumia 900 is very similar to the Lumia 800 and Nokia N9. The only difference seems to be the size, due the larger display of Lumia 900.
As for the content, there doesn't seem to be any major differences between the just announced Nokia Lumia 900 and the existing Lumia 800 and Lumia 710. However, video calling right out of the box was mentioned, but I haven't been able to find out more about it yet. I do presume that Skype is not out yet for Windows Phone. Another interesting detail was the Univision App. This will bring exclusive Spanish-language content to Lumia 900. I think this is a rather clever move, since sometimes I feel that there are more people who speak Spanish than English in U.S. and even more so in North America.
When I first saw the news about Nokia switching to Windows Phone back in February 11th, 2011, one of my toper most concern was the future of Qt framework. In my mind the only way this radical change from Nokia could make some sense if Qt support would come to Windows Phone. Apparently I wasn't the only one to think so, as there was a rather "lively" conversation in different forums where Qt developers demanded Qt support for Windows Phone. Alas, it become soon clear this was not going to happen. But was it really alas?
