Nokia Winding Down Lumia Production Ahead of Windows Phone 8 Launch - Gotta Be Mobile
Nokia may be slowing down productions of its current Windows Phone Lumia smartphones, which are based on Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7.x operating system, in anticipation of new Lumias launching later this year based on Microsoft’s forthcoming Windows Phone 8 OS. According to a report on DigiTimes, Nokia’s manufacturing partner Compal Communications saw a steep 39.5% decline in revenues due to Nokia scaling back productions.
Sales of Nokia’s Lumia lineups are expected to get bumpier in the third quarter of 2012, since Microsoft’s newly released Windows Phone 8 is not backward compatible with Windows Phone 7.5-based Lumia models, indicated the sources.
Windows Phone 8 will offer support for multi-core processors, higher resolution 720p HD displays, NFC support, and a number of other features that will make the platform more attractive to consumers when they compare Windows Phone devices to top-tier Android offerings. Additionally, Windows Phone 8 will be based on the same kernel as Windows 8 so there will be a lot of cross-over in an attempt to attract developers to the platform.
Windows Phone 8 is expected to debut in October.
In the past, it was leaked that Nokia’s Windows Phone 8 Lumias should be revolutionary and will be unlike anything that we’ve seen on the market today. The company has also committed to bringing its PureView camera technology to Windows Phone as well.

O2 aiming to restore 3G services Thursday afternoon - ZDNet
Summary: The UK telecoms company said it is working to restore access to 3G services for customers affected by its network outage by this afternoon
UK network operator O2 has told ZDNet that it is aiming to get its 3G data service up and running again by Thursday afternoon.
A spokesman for the company said on Thursday morning that 3G connectivity should be restored some time in the afternoon for its mobile customers.
"We can't be more specific than that right now. We're working hard to restore services," he said.
The company suffered a major outage that began on Wednesday, leaving hundreds of thousands of its customers without access to voice, text or data services.
At 8am on Thursday, O2 said it had restored its 2G data services and advised customers to turn off 3G data in order to restore mobile voice services.

Wolverhampton T-Mobile users hit by signal problem - Westmidlands.com
Dozens of T-Mobile customers in Wolverhampton have been left without a signal for around a week after service units went down – as widespread O2 network problems affecting people across the country continued today.
Between the city centre and Parkfields, people with T-Mobile phones have been hit by a service blackout.
The fault is not linked to the failure of O2’s network which started early yesterday afternoon. Engineers were gradually restoring those services this afternoon.
Tajinder Singh, from Stafford, who runs the post office in Dudley Road, Blakenhall, said his T-Mobile phone didn’t work in the area, with staff reporting similar problems – and he said his elderly and disabled mother had been unable to contact anyone since Thursday last week.
“We have been having extreme difficulties – it has been horrendous,” said Mr Singh, aged 40. “It just flashes up on my phone as ‘error in connection’ as soon as I leave Bilston and start heading for Parkfields.”
T-Mobile spokeswoman Blair Bishop said work was under way on some of the service cells in the region, which was affecting signal in some areas of the city including WV2 and WV4 postcodes.
“We are aware there are coverage issues affecting T-Mobile customers in certain areas of Wolverhampton,” she said. “We are working to resolve the problem as quickly as possible and apologise for any inconvenience caused.”

O2 customers knocked offlline by nationwide outage told to switch off 3G - Broadband Genie
Customers on the O2 network are suffering a second day without mobile connectivity. Problems began midday yesterday and gradually spread overnight, affecting a huge number of O2’s 23 million subscribers.
The issue has prevented customers from making or receiving calls, sending texts or accessing the net.
According to O2’s live status page 2G connectivity has been restored so phone and text should now be functioning, but it continues to be patchy throughout the country.
O2 is recommending that those with problems disable 3G on their handset to force a 2G link. This will result in much slower data speeds but phone calls and texts should work normally.
O2 reckon 3G is gradually being restored but this could take all day before it’s back to full health. As well as disabling 3G you can also try restarting the phone to force a reconnection, which according to some reports has fixed things.
O2 provides mobile service for MVNO’s Tesco Mobile and GiffGaff so customers on those networks are also being hit. Again, restarting the phone and disabling 3G are the recommended course of action.
iPhone users can enable and disable 3G by going to Settings > General > Network. For Android you’ll need to go to Settings > Wireless and Networks > Mobile Networks and set the network mode to ‘GSM Only’. Alternatively you can use setting shortcut widgets or apps like Quick Settings to change the network mode without delving into the settings menu.
If you have an O2 mobile broadband dongle you’ll need to keep disconnecting/connecting until you can get 3G; no need to restart your computer as this will not affect the mobile broadband signal. 2G might work but you'll find this is significantly slower.
T-Mobile: The next carrier to get the iPhone? - MSN Money
The iPhone is on all the major U.S. carriers except T-Mobile USA. Apple (AAPL) is likely to bring its iconic device to nation's fourth-largest carrier sooner rather than later, according to one analyst.
Sanford Bernstein analyst Craig Moffett believes an agreement between Apple and T-Mobile, a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom, is likely to happen in 2013, as it continues to play carriers against one another, increasing its leverage. Sanford Bernstein rates Apple and Deutsche Telekom shares "outperform" with a $750 and €10 price target, respectively.
T-Mobile has been hampered by the lack of an iPhone on its network, losing 8.9% of its traditional contract customers, and 5.4% of its service revenue, Moffett noted. T-Mobile has begun to ramp up its bring-your-own device strategy by strengthening its HSPA+ network. Its network now has the capability to run 3G versions of an iPhone, despite having no official contract with Apple.
If Apple and T-Mobile came to a deal, it could potentially increase Apple's U.S. sales by 5% to 10% per year, or another 2 to 4 million phones per year. It could also keep in check the subsidy issue, which Apple CEO Tim Cook has said is overblown. Carriers are subsidizing the iPhone's hefty price tag to get customers to lock into profitable contracts. Moffett also notes the ability to roll contract commitments into Deutsche Telekom's Apple contract, which "allows for a graceful way to allow all parties to make a deal less onerous than the one made by Sprint (S)."
Previously, T-Mobile has balked at buying billions of dollars’ worth of iPhones, similar to what Sprint did in 2011.
AT&T (T) was the first domestic carrier to get the iPhone, when it launched in mid 2007. In January 2011, Verizon (VZ) became the second carrier after AT&T lost its U.S. exclusivity, then Sprint (S) joined the iPhone club last year.
Sprint would be the biggest loser, should T-Mobile get an iPhone, according to Moffett. "A T-Mobile iPhone would pressure subsidies and service prices at a time when Sprint's 4G network is ill-prepared for a 4G iPhone, and the added competition could cost [Sprint] precious volumes at a time when they are already running significantly short of their annualized volume commitments to [Apple]. [Verizon] and [AT&T] would be net losers as well," he wrote.
Shares of Apple were off 1.61% Wednesday, trading at $598.42. Shares of Sprint were up 0.63% to $3.21, while Verizon were up 0.27% to $44.82 and AT&T were lower by 0.87% to $35.13.
An Apple spokeswoman declined to comment for this story. A T-Mobile spokesperson declined to comment, but pointed out that it has more than one million unlocked iPhones running on its network.
