A new low-end Nokia (NOK +0.7%) Windows Phone will be unveiled at next week's Mobile World Congress to go with other cheap models (new Asha phones, perhaps?), "company sources" tell Reuters. The report comes shortly after Huawei launched its Ascend W1/4Afrika Windows Phone to take on Nokia's Lumia 510 and 620 in emerging markets, and Samsung launched its Rex touchscreen feature phone line. Both Samsung and Chinese vendors have seen sales of low-end Android phones take off. [View news story]
I'd be happy to say that the Lumia takes the best pics...but these examples show that the first pic is way under-exposed ie. loses colour and foreground details on the stage, while offering only moderately more details in the way-overlit window.
In the second set, the colour balance is off around the window (green!) and the shutterspeed seems too low (blurry). Why exactly are you saying that the first pics of each set are the best ones ?!?

Perhaps your referring to trouble synching with the 'calendar' or 'contacts' via an exchange server? This is a known issue, and there's a workaround for it

IANAL but I'm quite certain that BB!)4ever's spurious claim of "slander" is non-applicable in these circumstances. Perhaps he should also read about it first, before taking such 'knowing' tones with others.
There's also lots of precedent to support the (freedom of) expression of personal opinion, and other forms of suggestion, in forums such as these.
Finally, the SEC neither regulates nor enforces in the jurisdiction you've suggested that it does either.

If you look even MORE closely, you might see that the critical systems on those cars are NOT running on QNX...Seems that you're getting things like dashboard displays, navigation and entertainment units confused with the actual ECU and other critical systems.
Research In Motion (RIMM +4.2%) is finally doing something many pundits and marketing execs long advised it to: changing the company's name to BlackBerry. Going forward, the company will trade under the symbol BBRY on the NASDAQ, and BB on the Toronto exchange. Thorsten Heins made the announcement at RIM's BB10 event, which is getting underway.

Not sure what's in a name here...
If you already know phones, the Net, or the telecom/electronics market, then you know who RIM is. I suppose that the new brand value is useful for anyone who's been living under a rock, and wouldn't have been able to identify RIMM/RIM and associate them with their Blackberry products otherwise.
ie. The flagship consumer and business products are named and already very well-branded as Blackberry (TM)...So since nothing changes on that front, I'm not sure why the expense of a rebrand and legal name-change is at all necessary or even fiscally prudent at this point. A spin-off, would have been a different story of course.
BTW: All the branding around the word "refrigeration" arose from the mechanical process of "refrigeration" - a word derived from the self-explanatory root-word "frigid"

Will that reasoning also apply if "BlackBerry" (inc.) becomes more than a smartphone manufacturer....Extending itself into a larger ecosystem for communications, networked devices, and professional/enterprise services...as I believe is the blue-sky projection?
How does the term "BlackBerry" suitably represent the varied business and research activities of say...QNX?
IMO: A major battlefront for NOK vs/ RIMM (in the 3rd Contender War) will be represented by Skype vs. BBM
If Skype could connect to current BB users in developing markets (where BBM is a key driver) via some sort of messaging gateway...The primary draw to BB could be short-circuited, and WinP8 phones could do and end-run on BB10.
Otherwise, NOK can only gain so much (developing) market share before RIM offers a cheap entry to BB10 to build on it's BBM base in those markets.

Has anyone even seen a hint, of a tell-tale sign, of what promises to be a new or exciting app from a 3rd party BB10 developer? Did I miss somethign, or is everyone expecting BB10 devices to sell on the strength of their native camera, the "peek" function, and a variation on Swype, coupled with 'balance' for the enterprise? ( I'm sure I missed a couple of other features...but seriously...What's actually going to draw the average consumer back to BB?
ie. What's actually being used a measuring stick for the consumer appeal for BB10? The Playbook?
I'll tell you that alot of SysAdmins aren't too excited about getting into a re-install of their BES/BIS servers.
