What does Lumia mean to you? What does it do for you on a daily basis? Having seen the videos I’m about to share, I’ll be looking at mine in a whole different light (see what I did there?).

A walk through the Latin quarter of Paris turned into a beautiful collection of video clips for emeric (and, incidentally, an entry into the Nokia Go contest). The angles, timing and composition of the shots seem to be set up with a trained videographer’s eye, and all captured with a Nokia Lumia 800:

Another who’s been busy with a Lumia (this time the Lumia 710) and been conducting a ‘camera test’, is r3no. With a little colour correction to give it a retro feel, this is a great showcase for the powers of the camera. Check the lighting on those flowers:

When you think of the word group, you probably think of pop-singers. Or alternately, those yobs that hang out on your street corner. However, there’s much more to the word and creating groups on your Nokia Lumia make for a quick and easy way to keep in contact with all the important people in your life.

The people you work with, your friends from school, your family, the guys from football training? They are all different groups of people. Sure, they are already stored in your People Hub, along with everybody else you’ve ever met or randomly follow on Twitter, but make those small groups of people easier to find and connect with.

To do this, you must first navigate your way to your People Hub. Now, press the plus symbol at the bottom of the screen and you’ll be asked if you want to add a new contact or a new group. Here, we’re going to press new group.

Giving the group the correct name is important, especially if you’re going to be creating several groups. If you’re looking to put all the guys from the pub into one group, you might consider calling this group The Lads, or The White Lion (the name of the pub). Once you’ve found the appropriate group name, just hit add a contact beneath the group name.

Find all the people you want to put into the group and press the save icon to save that group.

You’ll now have an overview of who’s in the group and the options available to you now. Live Tiles of the people will flick into action in the main section with the added options to send everyone a text or an email at the same time underneath the tiles. This is great for communicating to everybody in the group at once. “Get the beers in. I’ll see you all at 8!” is the perfect text to let your mates know what time you’ll be at the bar.

Soon available worldwide

Glide the screen to the right and you’ll see what the people in that group are talking about on their social networks like Facebook or Twitter.

There’s not much use in creating a group if it’s not easily accessible. Within the group, the pin icon at the bottom of the screen means that you can pin that entire group to the Start Screen as one Live Tile. It will dynamically update itself to show you when somebody within that group interacts with you by means of a text or a phone call, or also when they update a social network.

Plus, if you want to contact one of the members directly, rather than the whole group, you can still use the group Live Tile to find that one person; press the group tile and then the individual tile to be taken to their contact information.

Obviously, ‘the guys down the pub’ is just one example of a group you could create. You can do the exact same thing for any group of people you’d like to be in contact with. With your favourite groups pinned to your Start Screen, you’re only ever one click away from the most important people in your life.

You can create groups on all of the Nokia Lumias, which includes: the Nokia Lumia 610, Nokia Lumia 710, Nokia Lumia 800 and the Nokia Lumia 900.

Have you created any groups on your Start Screen? How many groups do you have? Tell us how you’re using the groups feature, in the comments section below.

Today, Nokia announces a partnership with speaker experts JBL to create a range of audio accessories, plus the first fruits of the relationship: the JBL PlayUp Portable Wireless Speaker for Nokia.

Keen-eyed readers will note that the new PlayUp speakers bear a considerable resemblance to last year’s Nokia Play 360° portable speakers.

And why not?

The brightly-coloured, cylindrical design of the Play 360° won near-universal acclaim from customers and reviewers, and also won awards. There’s one major change on the design side, though: this model is made of specially created double-shot plastic to add extra durability to the design.

Inside, however, the guts of the speaker have been entirely revised to bring JBL’s excellent audio know-how to the party.

The PlayUp portable speaker delivers crystal clear sound – in every direction – thanks to JBL technology, to finely reproduce every detail of your recordings. It’s not shy, either, with a maximum output of 89dB – so it’ll be great for the garden or picnics, as well as your living room.

Unlike other portable speakers, there isn’t an issue with “tinny-ness” at the low end. It has a specially designed bass port, which acts as a woofer.

Frequency response is rated at 85Hz – 22kHz (-6dB) which, for non-techies, means “floor-tremblingly low and dog-botheringly high”. Make sure your downstairs neighbours are invited to the party if you live in an apartment!

The PlayUp portable speaker is specially made to complement our current and future Lumia smartphones. Music is transferred using Bluetooth. An accessory app will be available so you can remote-control the speakers right from your phone.

Next-generation Lumia smartphones using Windows Phone 8 will be able to tap-to-connect using NFC – an extra convenience that will speed up your time-to-music considerably.

Older phones or MP3 players without either Bluetooth or NFC aren’t left out, though – they can also connect using a standard 3.5mm jack. There’s a cable supplied in the box for this, together with a carrying pouch and a MicroUSB charger.

The dimensions of the speaker are 118 x 118 x 128mm, and it weighs 760g. The rechargeable battery inside will last for 10 hours in normal use, and, of course, you can run it off AC power using the charger indoors. It will come in cyan, white and black – plus a new bright yellow colour.

The PlayUp speaker marks the beginning of a whole new family of audio products jointly developed by JBL and Nokia. We can’t wait to see what comes next.

Guns’n’Glory, £Free

What would the Wild West have been without its charismatic villains? Boring! So take a walk in the cowboy boots of Billy the Kid, Jesse James or Butch Cassidy to become a real, low-down bad guy.

The Egyptians, £Free

After your kingdom was brought down by a devastating earthquake, the land lacked a ruler and the tribes began to revolt – resulting in bloodshed and death.

The blood of the fallen awakens an ancient god and sends the lord of the scarabs, Khepera, back to earth. It’s time for an alliance of the tribes to fight together against the forces of evil and to free the land.

It’s up to you to lead them and to accomplish a victory by using constructions, inventions and tactical warfare.

Bridge Bloxx, £Free

Equipped with wood, steel and stone, you’ve got to build the best bridge you can so that the trains can pass overhead in safety.

You can use whatever method you like, as long as the bridge stands. If an existing bridge needs repairing, strap it together using the wires, girders or dynamite. Although, I don’t know how dynamite can help repair a bridge – that’s for you to figure out.

Devils & Demons, £1.00

In a classic game of good versus evil, a portal to the underworld has opened up and threatens all of humanity.

Lead an army of mages and warriors to defeat the baddies and stop the world from descending into chaos. Don’t forget to seal the portal, while you’re at it.

Aporkalypse – Pigs of Doom, £1.00

Pigs. Everybody loves pigs, don’t they? If you didn’t, you should, because these ones are here to save the world!

Four pigs, all of which have superpowers (so, probably not your normal pig) are to become the saviours of the world to close the gates of heaven and hell again.

CyberLords : Arcology, £Free

In the year 2173, government will have collapsed and the people will revolt – at least according to this game, anyway.

With this bad news aside, there is some good news. We’ll all have kick-ass nano implants that give us all super-human powers and turn us into deadly weapons.

You win some, you lose some.

If you’ve got a Nokia Asha Full Touch, such as the: Nokia Asha 305, Nokia Asha 306 and Nokia Asha 311, head to the Nokia Store today and download these great games.
