Nokia's Beats Estimates On Q3 2011 Earnings
Nokia shares were on the rise this morning, why? Because Nokia had a great quarter? Not precisely, but they also didn't have a bad quarter. And as Wall St. hawks know, beating expectations, even if that means simply doing less worse than analysts expected, is good news. Nokia saw their net sales drop 13% year-over-year,... Read More

Some Users Seeing 'Phantom Data Use' on WP7
Windows Phone 7 users are complaining over what they call "phantom data usage."

Windows Phone 7 RTM = Funeral for iPhone, and Microsoft Holds It
Microsoft really isn't that good at being snarky (witness the Bill Gates / Jerry Seinfeld ads), but they try. Windows Phone 7 has gone RTM, and thus the company decided it was time for a funeral, not for Windows 6.5 (which might have been appropriate), but for the iPhone. The procession alone was silly enough, as is probably... Read More

Windows Phone 7 Series Springs To Life, Windows Mobile Now History
Microsoft has been taking a beating over the past couple of years in the mobile market, with operating systems such as webOS, iPhone OS and Android really stealing the thunder that was once owned by Windows Mobile.

HTC To Ship Touch2 Smartphone With Windows Mobile 6.5
To say HTC's original 'Touch' was a smash hit would be understating things greatly, so it makes perfect sense to see the smartphone maker coming out with a second edition to tempt the masses. Slated to launch on October 6th as one of the world's first "Windows phones," the Touch2 will be among only a handful of cellphones... Read More
