Last year when we attended the Nokia World conference in Abu Dhabi we got to see flipboard and spoke to some of the guys there too,over ONE YEAR LATER Flipboard finally hits windows phone.. By the way it was announced in JULY 2013
My first impressions of flipboard are not good,in fact its disappointing compared to other similar apps there,flipboard does NOT FLIP this will be a huge let down to people who have waited almost a year for this app.
I am a full time windows phone user and like the OS as well as Android ,i love apps,Millions have waited for this app.
Watch the video below and see how it stacks up towards Android and rival app on Windows Phone Magnify ,which gets my vote..Android still has the best flipboard experience overall…
You can download Flipboard for Windows Phone HERE Hopefully this app we have all waited long enough for gets an update soon..The other thing is it does not support 512 MB devices,again this will annoy people.
Over all it seems to be fine elsewhere and has a similar layout..
UPDATE. 21.06PM 25/9/14
Flipboard have now stated this is an early build as seen below to a huge fan of the App @buster47 got this reply from John Virtes.
Over Here is a new app by the windows phone developer @sendtiment this app can help you find your friends with windows phone if you are lost in a big crowd or a busy place and its quite simple and effective.
Its a very simple and easy to use application requiring no skills or lack of patience
Here is a vine below on how simple this is to use and how it looks,and thanks once again to Terry for letting us know about the app..
Today on the nokia facebook site a photo popped up with some nokia lumia devices in the form of a book..
Green would suit ireland of course but cyan is also nice…
Although nothing has been said yet and the images are official from nokia we can only wonder if this becomes a reality cast your mind back to the lumia 800,we never seen it.
Quality case makers for mobile phones and laptops noreve exclusively sent us over one of their first Lumia 1320 cases to try out,we have had the 1320 and also the 1520 a good while now and loving them both..
Noreve dont mess around when it comes to options to customise your case they have multiple options for you to pic from offering that leading edge over many case makers for mobile devices,this is also a great attribute to the company,people want an option to customize noreve give it to you..
For most presentation is a key factor when it comes to purchasing things,eye candy packaging with bright colours and plastic bags are whats the norm for online in most cases but noreve have packed in another thump here with beautifully presented packaging .
As you can see above this is the case that your cover will arrive in well presented.but there’s more..
Open the case to find a top quality pouch to leave your case should you not use it or swap for another,this is an option to not have it lying around and kept protected inside the box..
Elegant case conceived in top quality handcrafted leather
– Easy-to-close case without non-magnetic closure nor snap closure
– Slim and padded design
– Protects the device in an optimal manner
– Access to basic functions (multiple openings on the leather)
– Camera lens & flash access
– Headphones and headset jack access
– Charging and synchronization cable access
– Beautiful interior lining embossed with the Noreve logo
The case is quite plain and in leather on the exterior ,it feels soft and comfortable to hold and you can clean it easily should you get any dirt on it.
On the front of the case the noreve logo is on the top right slightly raised and slightly embedded into the front face.
The top of the case gives ample access to the earphone socket,and clips on via a small flap,easy to open and close.
The bottom gives you access to the micro usb port again plenty of room to play with here so its no problem to insert and remove usb connectivity accessories.
The back of the case is also plain with clearance for the camera and the speaker ,camera at top speaker at bottom end.
On closer inspection i did find a rather big gap between the body of phone and the case which looks somewhat different to other cases ive used but it had no effect on the camera,some cases which are very close to body and cover,can effect camera performance from my experience distorting or ruining images,giving a flash like effect on the photo,this did not happen here im glad to say.
The right hand side of the case allows full access to your keys it might take some to wiggle the fingers a bit to get used to but all news cases will cause that,where’s the button effect when new all in all again comfortable to use no problems.
The left side has nothing to see just plain as there is no buttons or slots here ,why add something not required..
With the case open you can see the quality inner finish of the case embossed the noreve logo,feels quite nice..
The phone is big and so the case naturally will be and this does add a fair bit onto the devices size and weight,but its comfortable to hold,very solid,if i dropped my device with this id get some satisfaction my phone would be ok ,all of course on how, and how high it was dropped form,from a dropping from an typical standing point i think you would be fine.
Overall the case is very nice,its quality and presentation is great only issue i have with these flip wallets they are not for me,especially on 6 inch devices,opening and closing the flap can get in your way,but thats just my personal opinion. Im more or a open gel case type or non flip wallet type person,so been this my first time to use such a case it was different,its nice to use,also considering the fact we have a big phone and case on tow you can see what i mean when you go to open and close this type of case will have,again a matter of getting used to,just like phablets themselves.
Once again than you to noreve for sending us over this case and gald you chose us to check it out.
Noreve have also said they will be sending us a lumia 1520 case and we look forward to that and sharing our review..
You can check out the full noreve nokia range right ( HERE ) there is some amazing colours and options to customise your phones best friend,protection….
