At a press event in New York yesterday, Nokia unveiled its new Windows Phone 8 device, the Lumia 920.
“With a dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 CPU (the same one that drives the current U.S. supremos, the HTC One X and Galaxy S III), a ‘better than HD’ 1,280 x 768 LCD display, PureView imaging (albeit with only eight megapixels), NFC capabilities, 2,000mAh battery with wireless charging and a next-gen Redmond-baked OS, this handset’s a big-break proposition for the flailing Finnish company; an attempt to up the ante and compete on even ground,” reports Engadget.
Pricing and release details are expected by Q4. The post includes a full hands-on review, slideshow of images and 5-minute video report.
In a related story from CNET, Nokia is bringing all kinds of music — from the New York Philharmonic to Lady Gaga — to U.S. Lumia owners for free through its new Nokia Music app.
Music experts created over 150 different playlists for the app. “Users can also scour a collection of millions of songs to generate their own playlists based on their favorite music and artists. And though the service is designed for streaming, Lumia owners can listen to music offline via their special playlists,” CNET reports.
Lumia users can use the free app to download and play tracks from Nokia’s MP3 store, which offers over 15 million songs. The app’s Gig Finder notes the user’s location to find local concerts and shows; users can even buy tickets and get directions to events.
