There was an online chat that took place in the past between a representative of Nokia Care and customer where it was confirmed that the Nokia Lumia 520 would support the FM radio after this new software was announced and installed.

The representative online did not say anything on the other Lumia models however if the entry level device Lumia 520 would be gifted with this feature and so it anticipated that the rest of the Lumia models would be getting this update. Now users do not have to bother about installing the FM Radio in their phones. This update gives them the joys of it irrespective of whether they listen to them or not.

Owners of the Nokia Lumia 822 will be asked by their mobile handsets to download a minor update soon. There are reports that a small update for this mobile phone is available for the handset. There are as of now no release notes where we can find the bugs that this software update ready to fix. According to some users the Nokia Lumia 822 was immediately updated once the devices were switched on.

Now when it comes to a software update it is important for users to note the amount of time that is needed for it. It is to be noted that there are some updates in the system that are huge in size and they take long durations of time to get loaded in the device. There are complaints among many consumers that these updates also have very long installation time on the Windows 8 Phone. If the time of a software update is a small one it implies that the update is going to fix small issues.

Now the above update of the Nokia Lumia 822 is directly linked to two main features of SMS messages. The first feature includes the scope to draft the SMS messages and have the device to save them so that the users of the phone get ample time for their editions. Or they could be sent later without having to start once over again. This update is also one that includes the ability to reply to calls that are received with SMS messages when the user is not able to take a call. In the past users could only ignore the call when they had to navigate to check the message. In such cases people had to render an explanation on why they were not able to receive the call.

The Nokia Lumia 822 is the sole Lumia device that is currently available on the largest mobile carrier of USA- Verizon. According to reports by Bloomberg there are reports that the device will be joined in by Nokia Lumia 928 at some point during this same month. There are latest reports that this phone will be shipped along with a 4.5 inch display and an 8MP camera.This phone will also sport the PureView camera technology along with a Xenon Flash. There are also reports that indicate that the Nokia Lumia 928 will be the first Nokia phone to have a metal back instead of the standard polycarbonate casing.

Recent financial has revealed that Nokia reported a loss of €150 million despite making a net sale of €5.9 billion in first quarter of 2013. This report for the first quarter in 2013 of Nokia revealed that the scenario for Finnish mobile manufacturing giant is not so rosy. Amongst these negative sides, this report also includes some positive outcome came out from the report. Report said that Lumia handset sales have gone up by 27% compared to the last quarter to 5.6 million units in Q1 2013.

The report showed some significant information about the sales pattern of Nokia mobile handsets across the globe. Geographically, Nokia did quite well in Europe and in the Asia-Pacific region with net sales of €895 million and €724 million, respectively. This mobile making major shipped 11.8 million mobile devices in Europe while for Asia-pacific this tally stands at 23.1 million – is almost twice the tally in Europe. The report also shows an overall device volume shipments of 55.8 million units (smartphones and feature phones) which drop by almost 30% than what the company managed in fourth quarter in 2012

Nokia CEO Stephen Elop was quoted as commenting on this report, “At the highest level, we are pleased that Nokia Group achieved underlying operating profitability for the third quarter in a row. While operating in a highly competitive environment, Nokia is executing our strategy with urgency and managing our costs very well. We have areas where we are making progress, and areas where we are further increasing the focus. For example, people are responding positively to the Lumia portfolio, and our volumes are increasing quarter over quarter. Nokia Siemens Networks delivered another strong quarter and contributed to an overall improvement in Nokia Group’s cash position. Our Mobile Phones business faces a difficult competitive environment, and we are taking tactical actions and bringing new innovation to market to address our challenges.” However, this Finnish company is optimistic enough that it will see much brighter picture at the end of second quarter.

Nokia is all set to launch its Lumia range in the USA signing Verizon. Both the smartphone major and the carrier have entered into a deal for the forthcoming handset. The Nokia Lumia 928 is a flagship mobile handset that will enter the market from the following month. This mobile is one that is next in line to the present range of Nokia Lumia smartphones that have been launched till date.

Both the smartphone manufacturer and Verizon have made the deal public. These claims however have been made by Bloomberg stating that both these telecom giants have struck a deal. There are reports from Bloomberg that the Lumia 928 phone was seen in the systems of FCC and Verizon. There was an image of the device that was leaked in the beginning of the month.

If the above Verizon deal is true the Lumia 928 will become the first high end phone that the carrier will launch. In the USA most of the Lumia phones have been carried exclusively by Verizon. Today this carrier has about 100 million subscribers and they are on board with the flagship mobile that is vital to the success of both companies.

Bloomberg has also reported that this lumia phone will launch on the carrier soon. This phone will sport a metal body along with a touch screen of 4.5 inches. It will also have an 8MP camera and wireless charging. There are some previous rumors that this phone will also have a polycarbonate body and the internals of the phone have been expected to be the same like the Lumia 920.

It has been seen that North America has always been a very weak market for the Nokia. Way back in its Symbian days it also did not perform too well. In the Q1 results that were published last week it has been seen that Nokia had experienced an increase in sales by 9% compared to the records last year. Nokia has also recorded selling a large number of Lumia phones across the globe in the quarter.

Nokia is gradually climbing up the popularity charts when it comes to mobile smartphone devices in the world. It has been successful with its Nokia range of smartphones.  Currently it is behind two leaders the iOS and Android. This helps the smartphone build some momentum in the region. This momentum has helped Verizon to take a hint from the Nokia Lumia flagship phone.

This week Nokia is all set to announce its new mobile and there are rumors that this new phone will be called the Asha 501. On the 24^th April this mobile is going to be announced. This has been stated by the company. There is a teaser image that is doing its rounds on the Internet. The picture is that of a QWERTY keyboard and so there are chances that the company is now laying focus on the Asha series over the Nokia series.

The announcement was posted on the official blog of the company. The company stated that it is going to announce something that is new. There are some experts and industry analysts that think this new phone is going to be a Windows 8 device that may be launched under the Nokia Lumia brand. There are some experts that are indicating the company is all set to launch a new Asha phone. There were also hints of this new phone in a question answer session by Neil Broadley who is a member of the mobile team of the company as well by a special undisclosed guest. Neil Broadley is very closely connected to the Asha range and he was present at the launch of the Asha 205 and the Asha 201. He has also described himself as a devotee of the Asha brand in an exclusive interview with Nokia Conversations.

Nokia has of late been very successful with the Lumia phone line up. This is why it has perhaps decided to go in for its budget Asha range that has like the Lumia been very successful in the market. The phone helped the company rise from its fall. Nokia was facing a very bad time in 2012. It suffered losses and major brands like Samsung and HTC overtook it to reach the top. Nokia has learnt a bitter lesson and this is the reason why it has decided to buck up. The launch of the Lumia range really helped the company to get back on its feet. This is the reason why the company has decided to expand its present range of smartphones for its fans.

The Asha range is an affordable range ideally suited for most people. The launch of the phone will reveal on whether the company will be successful or not when it comes to hitting gold and searing up the popularity charts with this new phone.
