The ESPN Hub is one of the many unique and exclusive apps that has won Lumia fans over. It’s easy to see why – not only is ESPN the most trusted source for sports scores and news, the ESPN Hub app takes this to a new level with personalization so you get scores of your favorite teams, news and videos of the day, all in one powerful application. The new ESPN Hub app is all about you, it’s personalized.

When you load up the new version for the first time, you’ll see a new icon in the upper left corner. Touch that button and you’ll see the “Sideline” pop out – an all new personalized menu that provides quick navigation to your favorite sports and teams.  Just set your favorites and away you go.

For my sports, I added NCAA Football, NBA and NFL Football, because these are of most interest to me.  Also, I’ve added my favorite teams so I can keep an eye on them in the ESPN Hub app.

As far as the sports you can choose, the options include the big global sports: basketball, baseball, football, hockey, auto racing, golf, soccer, cricket and rugby. Among the teams you can select are those from basketball, baseball, football, hockey and soccer. Inside each team category – you can select from pro and college leagues, depending on the sport.

Once you’ve chosen your team from the Sideline menu (in my case, it’s the Oregon State Beavers), the app will take you to the team panorama and you can see a plethora of insightful stuff including:

• scores
• top news
• videos
• team leaders
• team roster

As another added feature into the ESPN Hub app, you can deep pin your favorite team to your start screen and even set alerts for each team.  Oh, you can also pin your favorite leagues too.  Click on the pinned tile and get direct access to your team or league with the latest news and scores straight from your start screen.   

Another cool feature is that once you personalize the app, the main app tile will rotate with scores from your favorites teams on the day they are playing.

The new ESPN Hub update brings you the teams and sports you care about the most. It’s a personalized version of ESPN, right in your pocket. Exclusively on Nokia Lumia.

What’s the first team you’re adding to your new ESPN Hub?

Note: The app update includes many new features and functionality including personalization, added content and detailed team panoramas.  To ensure you get the most out of the personalization feature, please unpin your previous home screen ESPN Hub tile icon and re-pin once the update is completed.

Nokia Lumia 920 and Lumia 820

Our first Windows Phone 8 smartphones.

Be a part of it.

Backed by AT&T’s fast 4G LTE network, the Nokia Lumia 920 just screams when you’re surfing the web or using your favorite applications, and with a 1.5GHz dual-core SnapDragon S4 processor you will find the Lumia 920 to be quick and snappy.

After you’ve captured these amazing videos and photos, you’ll love showing them off on the gorgeous and super sensitive 4.5” PureMotion HD+ screen. ClearBlack technology makes sure that colors pop and blacks are as deep as night.

But don’t just take our word for it. Laptopmag.com just reviewed the Nokia Lumia 920, calling it “the ultimate Windows Phone, thanks to its jaw-dropping HD screen, fantastic PureView camera and wireless charging capability.”

Though it’s not just amazing hardware and cutting-edge technology which set the Nokia Lumia 920 apart from the competition. We’ve also worked hard on bringing you a world-class maps and navigation experience with apps such as Nokia Drive, Nokia City Lens and Nokia Transit. All of our apps come with true offline mode, meaning they’re always fast and reliable.

Pre-loaded on the home screen is Nokia Music – our completely advertisement-free music service, which lets you stream tracks from a suite of over 150 exclusive playlists curated by an expert team of musicologists exclusive to Nokia Lumia smartphones. It’s completely free and requires no registration or subscription.

The Nokia Lumia 920 will be available in AT&T stores in red, black and white, and you’ll be able to order cyan and yellow at ATT.com and by special order in stores.

Which color Nokia Lumia 920 are you planning on picking up?

You only have to look at the Nokia Lumia 920 to see how far smartphone technology has come in just a couple of decades. Jam packed with revolutionary innovations, it’s the culmination of hundreds of ingenious ideas made real. But what about the people who had these moments of inspiration? Ever wondered what qualities they have and whether you share them?

Child’s play – Where it all begins  

Were you a restless, curious child? Asking endless questions. Did you have a particular passion? Or did you see things in a different way to other people? Tom Sims was only thirteen when he made a board from plywood at school. He called it his skiboard – a ‘skateboard for the snow.’  The creator of snowboards made the sport his life, from a simple obsession. Children who later invent, think differently – a crane is a dinosaur, a box is never just a box. Don’t ever let anyone label you eccentric.

Who are your heroes?

If it’s Becks then it might not be inventive people who float your boat. But if you admire entrepreneurs like James Dyson, there could be an urge within you to emulate their success, a hunger to be like him. Do you relate to some people’s ability to think outside the box? Maybe you don’t realise that you too are a lateral thinker. People like James Dyson were determined. Are you? Did Dyson listen when he was told ‘But, James, if there were a better kind of vacuum cleaner, Hoover or Electrolux would have invented it.’ I don’t think so.

Do you have a unique way of looking at the world 

As an adult, do you still ‘play’? Species like the dolphin, considered extremely intelligent, spend much of their day playing. But it can pay. Inventor Rod Sprules one night experimented with dried coffee grounds and wax, then pushed the mixture into an old cigar tube. He then burned it and the Java-Log was born, a cleaner fuel product that recycles waste coffee. Picasso – who co-created cubism, was constantly adapting, learning. ‘If I don’t have red, I use blue,’ he once said. That should be your mantra.

Are you a scribbler or a dreamer or both? 

Dreaming is underrated. Too many people allow themselves to let the world entertain them. But inventors are restless souls, bubbling over with ideas that they struggle to contain. If you are a passive inventor you may just dream and imagine your ideas – but if you are more dynamic, your doodles may be worth more than you think. Leonardo da Vinci was a classic doodler and his drawings show planes and submarines – to be invented centuries later. He also never finished anything on time and was easily distracted. Genuises don’t think in straight lines. Do you?

Sound like you? Then perhaps you’ve got what it takes to join this rare breed of men and women. And if you’re already come up with a great idea, we’d love to hear your secret to inventive thinking in the comments below.

Last week, the Nokia Lumia 920 began appearing in stores, online and in people’s pockets in select countries. Already, we’re starting to see hands-on reviews coming in, so we thought we’d take a look at some of those. What have the tech news sites been saying about the Nokia Lumia 920? Let’s find out.

Engadget

Mat Smith, from Engadget, was very thorough with his Nokia Lumia 920. He explored the hardware, the software the camera and everything else in between.

When comparing the camera on the Lumia 920 to other manufacturers, Mat said:

“We came in to these testing scenarios with exceedingly high expectations, and in the extremely low-light situations, where most phones fall flat on their face, the Lumia 920 indeed hit its stride. Yes, there was often some ISO noise to be seen and the results weren’t always spectacular, but the 920′s low-light shots were always the best of the bunch.”

And when it comes to taking videos and using the Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) feature:

“Walking with the phone introduces minimal stutter – especially compared to what we’re used to on other smartphones, while autofocus is able to latch on to points of interest quickly. You’ll make the prettiest video clips you’ve ever seen on smartphone”

The Next Web

Matt Brian, from The Next Web, offers lots of insight into what you can expect when you buy the new Nokia Lumia 920. Matt reports:

“Microsoft has done a great job at making Windows Phone relevant again, updating its core offering to match and in some cases offer more than rival platforms from Apple and Google.”

And:

“Coming up against the HTC 8X, it’s close between the two, but the Nokia Lumia 920 edges out its HTC rival on imaging, ecosystem and its overall design.”

The Verge

Over at The Verge, Dieter Bohn dissects the phone, looks at the design and makes some pretty bold statements – he calls this phone a “tank”:

“You know that guy who walks into the coffee shop and unapologetically slams down a gigantic, 17-inch monster of a laptop on the table, declaring “This thing is a beast, but I don’t care.” That’s the Lumia 920. It’s a muscle car. It’s a monster truck.”

But then he explains why this is the case:

“There are ostensibly good reasons for the Lumia 920′s weight and size: a large battery, 4.5-inch screen, wireless charging, and PureView camera hardware all take up plenty of space.”

ZDNet

Writing about his experiences with the Nokia Lumia 920, Matthew Miller from ZDNet also comments about how the phone feels in the hand:

“There is definitely heft to the Lumia 920; it feels like a rock solid device.”

And when talking about the Windows Phone 8 OS, Matt says:

“Windows Phone 8 has addressed several weaknesses in Windows Phone 7/7.5 and the Lumia 920 looks to set the bar for features, functions, and apps on this new platform.”

Pocket-lint

While exploring everything the Nokia Lumia 920 has to offer, Stuart Miles has this to say about the specific Nokia apps, such as Nokia Maps:

“If it’s not the core OS features, it’s the Nokia apps that will enhance your experience. It’s simple things like offline maps to save you time and money when it comes to data costs – here or abroad – the People Hub and its ability to manage your contacts really is fantastic, and much better than the mess that iPhone or Android offer”

And what about the camera?

“Stunning. That’s probably the best word to use when describing the Lumia 920′s PureView camera, especially when looking at low-light shots – something the Lumia 920 specialises in.”

Wired

When it comes to design, Alexandra Chang likes the design, and talks about the size:

“Nokia has delivered a heavyweight player (pun intended) to take on the other smartphones, Windows Phone or otherwise.”

But the size isn’t a big issue:

“But that’s one of the few drawbacks to the Lumia 920. Otherwise, it’s a stunning device with two killer features: An amazing display and an excellent camera. The 1280×768 pixel PureMotion HD+ display is one of the best I’ve seen.”

All Things Digital

What comes to pricing, Bonnie Cha reports on the AT&T offer on the Nokia Lumia 920 saying:

“The Lumia 920 is an AT&T exclusive, and serves as Nokia’s flagship model. It features a 4.5-inch HD touchscreen and an 8.7-megapixel camera with advanced features such as an image stabilization system and technology to capture more light.

The smartphone’s battery can also be charged wirelessly, and to sweeten the deal, AT&T is throwing in a wireless charging plate for free, for a limited time.

With such features, I would have expected pricing for the Lumia 920 to start in the $200 range, but at $100 it’s quite the steal.”

Have you got your hands on a Nokia Lumia 920 yet? What do you think of it? Use the comments section below, to let us know.

With the arrival of the Nokia Lumia 920 and Lumia 820, you’re able to create great GIF-like images using an exclusive Nokia app called Cinemagraph. But what is a Cinemagraph? Isn’t it just a GIF? Well, yes, but there’s one thing that’s different.

A GIF is an acronym for Graphic Interchange Format – a bitmap image format.

People have been using GIFs since the format was created in 1987 and its popularity is partly due the fact you can compress the image to make it much smaller in size without degrading the quality of the image. However, it only has a colour palette of 256 colours.

In addition to this, GIFs can be animated – quite unusual for an image. This was ideal many years ago when videos would’ve taken up much needed disk space and would’ve taken a long time to download or stream.

Using a GIF also makes it very easy to embed into a website. You just upload the image and people will see a moving image; albeit a relatively small, slightly grainy one.

Here are some standard animated GIFs.

Via GIFtube

As you can see, the whole image is a moving image, much like a video. And that’s because they are, but they’ve been adapted for the GIF format.

The following images are Cinemagraphs (not taken with a Nokia Lumia).

Via – irol.trasmonte

Via mendhak

Via irol.trasmonte

As you can see the quality of the images are much better than an ordinary animated GIF; they’re not grainy, they are vivid.

With an animated GIF, it’s usually clear that you’re looking at an animated GIF. However, when you look at a Cinemagraph, you almost believe you’re looking at an actual video.

The wine from the bottle in the first image just keeps flowing, while everything else remains still. The cogs at the heart of the robot are the only parts that move and the flame on the candle in the last image flickers away while the child looks on in freeze-frame.

Now the Nokia Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 have become available, you’ll be able to create similar images to the Cinemagraphs above.

Are you looking forward to making Cinemagraphs on your new Lumia? What will you create? Sound off in the comments section below.

Dani has been carrying out the ‘Ultimate Experiment’ recently – ditching every other mobile device and using only the Nokia Asha 302.

She’s covered various aspects of the phone in a series of posts detailing her triumphs (and a couple of frustrations). She starts by describing the process from the moment her SIM card made the transition to the new phone, and goes on to cover the camera performance and the hardware.

From the moment she placed her SIM in the Asha 302 she found the experience easy (aside from a few difficulties transferring her contacts). She likes the keyboard and the screen which is

‘bright and clear…and easily read’

As far as the camera performance goes, she took a whole gallery of images on a trip to London, and was ‘impressed’ with the results from the 3.2MP unit. Especially coming from someone used to 8 MP, this is high praise indeed. Here’s one of the snaps she took:

The Ultimate Experiment also covers a hardware review – well, it wouldn’t be the same without one, would it? – in which she says she has ‘nothing but praise’ for the keyboard (‘built like a tank’), the camera (see above), the speaker (‘superb’) and the general build quality (it survived in her bag without scratches or damage).

The Ultimate Experiment continues, so make sure you keep your eyes open for future updates. Have you had your hands on an Asha 302? Got any experiments you’d like to try with a Nokia? Let us know on Twitter or on the Trial A Nokia page.

As the new Nokia Lumia 920 and Nokia Lumia 820 start to appear on store shelves all around the world, you’ll all be eager to get your own, power it up and take your new shiny toy for a test drive. And we can’t blame you for that; we’d do the same. But before you do, make sure you update to the latest version of Nokia Maps to benefit from all the latest features.

Nokia Maps is already installed on your new device, but why not take advantage of this newest, hot off the press version (v. 3.0)

Downloading is easy; there are actually three different ways to get the newest Nokia Maps

1. If the Windows Phone Store live tile is on your start screen, it will prompt you to update your current Nokia Maps version to the latest one.
2. In the Nokia Collection of the Windows Phone Store you will find Nokia Maps at any time.
3. If you are on your computer right now, you can click here and get Nokia Maps automatically delivered to your Nokia Lumia.

When it comes to finding your way in the world, the reality is we all need a little help from time to time. And more often than not, the faster the better. That’s why this update to Nokia Maps adds the ability to store all your maps offline, giving you super-fast access to the world, in an instant. Of course, you can go online to get the latest info and reviews about places, but storing the maps offline means you’re not relying on an Internet connection to get you to where you’re going.

Turn-by-turn navigation is no longer just reserved for people who drive, you can now get precise guided instructions using the pedestrian navigation, too. Whether you’re walking down a street, cutting across parks or climbing public stairs, Nokia Maps will guide you in the right direct to ensure you get to your destination, without the need of an Internet connection.

If you prefer taking the train, you can get public transportation directions and if the need arises that you must hop on your car instead of walking, you can now start Nokia Drive right from within Nokia Maps. Just select the end destination, and then ’Car directions’. Press ’Start navigation with Nokia Drive’ to open Nokia Drive.

We also understand that often when you navigate somewhere, to a shopping centre, an airport or a stadium for example, your journey doesn’t end at the door. In fact, it continues way into the building, until you reach your desired store, departure gate or stand within the stadium. That’s why we’ve now included venue maps in this new version. While this doesn’t strictly navigate you indoors (yet), it does show you all the different locations within a building.

This additional feature extends the helping hand of Nokia Maps beyond the front of the building, and to your final destination.

For the venue maps, Nokia has mapped 18,000 unique buildings in over 40 countries around the world, with more being added all the time. These include shopping malls, retail stores, airports and transit hubs. In some of these locations, there can be multiple floors to browse. Nokia Maps knows where the escalators are in order to help you where you want to go, as well as shows you where the restrooms or ATMs are, if you need them. All with accurate guidance and routing.

So, don’t forget to update your current version of Nokia Maps in order to experience all these features.
