Nokia Lumia 822 Verizon: Full Specs and the interesting features

Nokia's Lumia 822 (Verizon) is being touted as the "most versatile Lumia" model till date. I'm not really sure how much longer would the Lumia series hold up against the current market wave of iPhone 5 or the even 'slightly strong market opponents' such as the Samsung SIII (or Samsung S3) models or the Sony Xperia mobile phone series. Nonetheless, I have no doubt Nokia came up with an interesting hit with the Nokia Lumia.  The company continues to feed on this hit by listing out endless Lumias. Just like Sony Mobile is doing with its endless Xperia this and Xperia that. 

The Lumia 800, Lumia 900 and Lumia 920 are quite popular devices (iPhone 5 remains the boss though) and I think the cell phone touts at the mobile device makers have another fairly big hit in the form of the Verizon Lumia 822 - a moderate, mid-high segment mobile device that is scheduled to hit the US and Asian markets (especially India, probably the biggest mobile phone market on the Asian side of the Globe).

So what exactly is Lumia 822 with its Verizon prep offering? First thing, the 822 is a Windows 8 phone (Yawn). That's all I think. 

Just kidding. The 822 has other interesting apps up its back panel but I'd say this is device is basically a slightly 'upgraded' version of the 800 (but of course!).

Apple unveils App Accelerator for developers

Apple on Friday announced the opening of its App Accelerator in Bengaluru that will provide specialized support for developers to build tools for the iOS platform. Each week, Apple's team will guide developers to design best practices and refine their skills to create iOS apps. "We are impressed by the great entrepreneurial spirit in India and are excited to provide a platform for these developers to share their innovations with customers around the world," said Philip Schiller, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing at Apple, in a statement. The announcement came at a time when Apple app developers earned over $20 billion in 2016 -- up over 40 per cent from 2015 and several of those talented minds were from India.

The only UC Browser version that works on Samsung Wave 525 (Bada OS)

It's been about 4 years since the Samsung Wave 525 was launched. When it came out in 2010, it was one of the best mid-segment "smartphones" that hit the market. How many momentous, technologically-superior smartphones have come and gone since the Bada OS Wave?  The 525 must now feel like a dinosaur - and it is. In terms of its web browser, the most troublesome dinosaur ever. Prior to using the Samsung Wave, I'd used several other phones and none gave me any problem when using the internet as did the 525.  Browsing experience had never been so much a problem unlike the one the 525 gave me since i bought it three years ago. The various versions of UC Browser , a nifty little mobile browser that was touted to be the "fastest browser" for mobile phones that time, was the choice of wave 525 users. The only problem? In a world where every app and gadget was either android or windows, none worked for Bada OS (Samsung's own operating system). The Sams...

Overview of Sony Ericsson W995: The Little Walkman

The Sony Ericsson w995 Walkman is a relic from the glorious collaboration of Sony Corp and Ericsson. Yet, the  'Walkman' slider phone, released in 2009, remains one of the most popular mobile phones in the market today. An overview of the phone will give us amble reasons why even mobile phone reviewers still cannot beat the little device down, even in this age of the Xperias and the iPhones. Here is an overview of the  main features and specifications of this hardy little Sony Ericsson flagship phone. Overview: The Sony Ericsson w995 is a "Walkman" Slider phone. When it was released in 2009, the device offered probably three of then-biggest features to mobile phone users - a then-unheard of 8.1 Megapixel camera, 8GB Memory Card and 3G - one of the first pre-3G era phones that came with a 3G network band. My guess on the reasons for the phone's popularity is users' relentless hunger for big MP cameras. Only high-ends such as the Xperias, the Nokia Lumias and...
