Nokia currently working on a dual-SIM Windows Phone

Nokia - Depending on where you live, you may, or may not, need us telling you just how popular dual-SIM phones are, at least in developing countries. Dual-SIM capabilities are nothing to sneeze at, as it offers a certain advantage, at no cost – especially if you live in a place where cross-carrier talks are surcharged.

Nokia, it would appear, is aware of this compelling proposition, at least according to the latest rumor from @evleaks. According to the serial leaker, we're actually talking about Nokia 'Moneypenny' – a device that's been on our radars for a few weeks now. Said to come packing Microsoft's newest Windows Phone Update 3, Moneypenny will take a shot at the dual-SIM loving crowd, probably in emerging markets like India, but almost certainly not in the US or Western Europe.

Sliding Messaging didn't get the memo: adds Google Voice support until May


 Tecno Updates - Recently, Google said that 3rd party apps that offer Google Voice support are using an unofficial API and will be shut down by May of 2014. Well, it seems that the folks at Klinker Apps either never got that message, or are deciding to ignore it because they have added full Google Voice support to the Sliding Messaging app. So, at least for now, you can get your regular SMS and MMS along with Google Voice in the same app.

As you might expect from the name of the app, Sliding Messaging features a few swipe gestures that will "slide" in and out of different functionality. You can slide between your different conversations, swipe in from the left to get your inbox view, or swipe in from the right to compose a new message. You can easily choose between using standard SMS or Google Voice when sending a message.

Nokia Lumia 2520 Review - Tecno Updates

 Nokia Lumia 2520 Review


Introduction

Most of us don’t know it, but Nokia actually tinkered around in the mobile computing space before – several years ago to be exact. Remember the Nokia Booklet 3G, an underpowered netbook-like thing that ran Windows 7? We won’t be shocked if you can’t, just because it was a short lived thing that proved to be nothing more than a test in futility. Besides its premium construction, everything else about it was a total wash – seemingly ending the Finnish company’s presence in the space.
Well, that was four years ago, and since that time, Nokia has gone through a transformation of its own. Having its efforts invested in all things Microsoft, the company is finally making its appearance in the competitive tablet market. Unlike the Booklet 3G, the Nokia Lumia 2520 is one serious tablet from the get-go that’s aiming to hit it big with the masses – just like its line of high-end Lumia smartphones. Already having to contend with several big named tablets on the scene right now, does the Lumia 2520 stand a chance in coming out on top?
