Nokia is preparing Windows Phone Champagne?

Nokia has apparently engaged in the development of the new smartphone operating system Windows Phone, which is lit up in the application I'm a WP7 called Champagne. From the logs of the application can be found that the machine is running an operating system Windows Phone version 7.10.8711, which is presumably the future release of the Tango. But it is necessary to point out that the application logic itself does not indicate the origin of the device, and it may not be a commercial machine, but only the test sample, which is used to verify that the operating system. To date, Nokia has not to publish any information about what machines and how much it intends to produce in 2012, except that the reported intention to penetrate the U.S. market by supplying low cost, entry-level smartphones. Also, representatives of Nokia noted that in mid-2012 may appear smart phones running Windows Phone 8, which will support communication NFC. According to unofficial information is known about what version of Windows Phone Tango will focus on a simple entry-level vehicles, the minimum hardware specifications which will be lower than the market model.

Cyan Nokia Lumia 800 UK release Dec, pink coming early 2012

The cyan Nokia Lumia 800 will be launching in the first week of December, while the pink version won’t be available in the UK until after Christmas sources familiar with the matter have told Pocket-lint.

We’ve always known that the cyan and pink versions of the Nokia Lumia 800 wouldn’t be with us on the 16 November launch day in the UK, however Pocket-lint can now confirm when exactly they will be launching in the UK.

According to a very trusted source, the cyan Nokia Lumia 800 will launch in the first week of December, two weeks after the official launch of the new phone, while the pink Nokia Lumia 800 will be in shops early 2012. Those hoping for a pink Nokia Christmas will have to wait a little longer it seems.

Earlier in the week Nokia confirmed to Pocket-lint that the black coloured Lumia 800 was still on schedule to launch on 16 November as planed and that it would be available via contract and SIM free via selected retailers.

Nokia limits sales of its Lumia 800

Delayed until next year for some

FINNISH PHONE MAKER Nokia has confirmed that it is allowing only selected partners to sell its Lumia 800 smartphone.
Nokia has confirmed with THE INQUIRER that only Vodafone, Three, Orange and T-Mobile will sell the handset among mobile operators in UK. The only retailers to get Nokia's flagship Windows Phone 7.5 smartphone will be The Carphone Warehouse and Phones 4U, which will sell it SIM-free as well as on contract.
All other retailers including big names like Amazon will have to wait until next year to sell the device SIM-free. Online retailer Clove said that its stock has been delayed until January 2012.

Clove said, "It's bad news on the Nokia front this afternoon unfortunately. We can now confirm that the Nokia Lumia 800 will not be available SIM-free in the UK until January 2012, although it will still be launched in the UK on November 16th with a contract and will be available from selected stores."
Mark Squires, communications director at Nokia told us, "The fact is though that the vast majority of the operators and major high street retailers have taken up the product and are throwing their support behind it. Therefore we are making sure that by using these channels the Lumia 800 will be available to our customers in the widest variety of outlets from SIM free to contract. We have also worked extensively to train these channels to support the product. From Q1 next year we will be supplying the product to our wider UK distribution network."
The handset is Nokia's first Windows Phone 7.5 device and the firm is due to launch it next week on 16 November. We wonder what impact forcing consumers to go to only a handful of retailers might have on sales.
This comes as a disappointment to smaller retailers such as Clove, which told us, "Very frustrating, we've had loads of interest!"
We asked if Nokia is confident that the phone will sell well even though it is limited to a handful of retailers. Squires said, "Yes. The most important thing is that folk who go to purchase in person can clearly see the differences and capabilities of what they are buying. Anyone who wants a Lumia will find it online and in store at a wide variety of price points and bundles very easily."

Mozilla developers building entirely web based mobile OS

Mozilla is working on a new entirely web based operating system called Boot 2 Gecko. Pics of the B2G interface appeared on the Mozilla wiki and show an icon based OS, not unlike Apple's.

Developers are currently testing B2G and its "proprietary, single-vendor stacks". They are building new APIs for things like camera, telephone and SMS capabilities.

Without getting too bogged down in technical details, Mozilla is essentially working on the basics of a mobile OS, like contacts and actual phone functionality. They are also getting everything ready for deadline and on track for what is said to be a product demo by the end of the year.

The first screens of the OS hint at some rather interesting ideas. Swiping icons to jump straight to an app, a la HTC Sense 3.5 is a particular favourite. There is also the ability to have either hardware or non-physical buttons for things like back and menu.

Last we heard from Mozilla on the OS was that it was going to be HTML5 powered and use Android just for booting and drivers.

Not much else is known about the Mozilla OS other than the above. One thing's for sure, it is a brave move entering into a mobile market as OS-saturated as the current. B2G is going to have to be pretty special in order to steal any of the limelight away from Android, iOS and WP7.
