Date: January 20th, 2012

As I am sure owners of the Nokia Lumia 800 will know, some of the Nokia Windows Phone handsets have been experiencing battery drainage problems, and not too long ago Nokia did say they would deliver an update for the Nokia Lumia 800 that would sort out the battery issues on or about the 18th of this month.

Well according to the guys over at Phone Arena by way of Professeurthibault.fr, it appears that old Nokia has kept their word and is now rolling out the battery draining fix update, although apparently only in France at the moment.

Word is the update has made its way to almost all French wireless providers with the exception of SFR but word is SFR will gain the Nokia Lumia 800 update in a couple of days.

The firmware update will bring the Nokia Lumia 800 up to version 1600.2483.8106.11500 and is said to fix that battery problem along with delivering better wireless connectivity and numerous improvements to the Windows Phone.

Thus it would appear that if you have been experiencing the battery draining problem on your Nokia Lumia 800 handset, for those in France the problem should be sorted, however if you live elsewhere and are affected by the issue then for now it is a waiting game for Nokia to push out the update to your region.

So with that said we’d like to ask our readers if you own a Nokia Lumia 800, are you experiencing the battery drainage problem?

My Lumia 800 
(1600.2483.8107.11501) problems include:-

1. Moving tiles long distances on the home screen does not flow properly. You need to drop the tile first before continuing.
2. Keyboard has intermittent delays causing the user to see the same character 2 or 3 times.
3. Critical alarm goes off too early and minutes later the OS battery is no longer critical.
4. Moving between songs there is a loud noise at zero volume and 1-30 levels. While playing a song, lock the phone and wait 5 seconds. Then unlock your phone and quickly move between songs, there is no noise for a few seconds and then it starts again.
5. Sound quality is poor from the loud speaker, Bluetooth and audio jack.
6. Nokia feedback within the settings tab has been limited to once only now. Nokia does not seem interested in customers providing ongoing feedback.
7. The Nokia drive direction voice occasionally stutters, taking about a minute to complete one command.
8. Video play back frames are missed on some videos. Audio keeps working.
9. Battery does not charge to manufactures specification.
10. Battery saver function is not working properly. On HTC HD7, Battery Saver (low) makes a big different.
11. Camera quality is poor for a Nokia phone.
12. Camera is set to macro by default.
13. Video auto focus still needs more improvements.
14. Low volume level is too high from audio jack. High volume level from the speaker is too low. Poor bass levels.

OS UI now flows smoother on the new firmware.

AT&T Lumia 900 Release Date Confirmed (Again)

By Humberto Saabedra on January 13, 2012

Nokia Lumia 900Not long after all of the pomp and fanfare surrounding the long awaited announcement of the Nokia Lumia 900 earlier this week, the mailing list for Windows Phone developers has confirmed that AT&T’s flagship Nokia Windows Phone smartphone will be launching in March, sooner than originally expected taking into account AT&T’s own vague Spring timeline. Windows commentator Paul Thurrott previously confirmed that the phone would launch on March 18th when it was known as the Nokia ACE.

As previously confirmed, the Lumia 900 is exclusive to AT&T and features either improvements or additions to the Lumia 800 in a larger 4.3 inch ClearBlack AMOLED display, LTE radio, Windows Phone Tango for LTE support, front facing camera, 1.4 GHz processor,  8.0 megapixel camera with 1080p video capture and dual LED flash, 16GB internal memory and Bluetooth.

The phone was designed with both AT&T and the US market in mind as it features a front facing camera and LTE support while the 800 features neither of those and Nokia expects it to drive Windows Phone sales in the US to drive its own comeback in the US market, where the brand has suffered significant marketshare loss after the launch of the iPhone in 2007. For historical context, the last Nokia phone to have significant sales and attention in the US market was the N95 sold in the months before the June 2007 launch of the Apple iPhone.

Not long after the launch, Nokia tried to court US carriers again with branded versions of its international models such as the E71 and E73 in an ultimately futile effort to compete with Apple before suffering another blow in the form of Android, which pushed Nokia’s smartphones aside in the wider US market, save for dedicated fans of Symbian.

Now with the attention given to Nokia and Windows Phone after this week, both Nokia and Microsoft are expecting the new partnership to payoff in a big way. Judging by the positive reception during CES, the Lumia 900 may turn the fortunes around of both Nokia and Windows Phone, provided the actual phone lives up to the initial critical praise.
