    Nokia + Huawei? 18

    Have you heard the rumors? Chinese cell phone giant Huawei is allegedly interested in acquiring Nokia. Or not interested at all. Or something.

    Nokia Lumia 720 Review 26

    I could tell there was something special about the Lumia 720 long before I was able to experience it in person. Launched at Mobile World Congress in February, the handset became available internationally a few months later, and Nokia has no plans to ship it in the United States. And that’s too bad: The Lumia 720 is a superior mid-market smart phone, and even beats out high-end hero phones in some cases....More

    Nokia Lumia 720 First Impressions and Photos 22

    When I first heard about the Lumia 720 back in February, I knew Nokia was onto something: Here, finally, was a Lumia that combined the beauty and versatility of a unibody design with a much thinner and lighter form factor. Now that I finally have one, I’m crushed: This gorgeous new phone isn’t available in the United States, but it’s clearly one of the best overall Lumias that Nokia has ever made....More
