There are many reasons why Microsoft's $7.2 billion acquisition of Nokia's Devices & Services division could be a good thing for all involved.

Nokia's Lumia 1020 debuted at $299 (with a two-year service agreement) in late July, and though it's the company's flagship handset, a fistful of Benjamins is a tough asking price when high-end Android devices like the popular Samsung Galaxy S4 can be had for $99. Perhaps realizing that it may have overestimated the demand for a high-end Windows...

Oops. Someone posted videos of the upcoming but not-yet-released Nokia Lumia 1020 on AT&T’s YouTube channel; it all looks very official, so we presume that the videos were simply posted too early. (We feel for the poor schmuck who at best is getting a tongue-lashing from a red-faced superior right about now...

Is that a phone in your pocket that can take pictures, or a camera that can make phone calls?

The rumor mill can stop spinning its wheels this morning following the launch of Nokia's Lumia 925 smartphone, the Finnish phone maker's second handset to make a debut this week.

You have to love a self-aware tech company.

At last week's MWC, Nokia showed-off four brand-new phones, two of which fall into the Lumia line (720 and 520). It was a little striking that the company wasn't showing off a new flagship, but on account of the fact that the Lumia 920 released only four months ago, the omission was understandable. However, as we see...
