Today the CEO of BlackBerry, John Chen said BBM out next July , did not disclose the specific day on which it will be available, but at least we know for sure it's a matter of weeks to have the messaging application Store.
The popular BlackBerry application enough time left for iOS and Android ago , months ago already announced the Windows Phone version but never said when it would. Thus we now have an alternative to WhatsApp , Line , Telegram, among others.
So now we can say that the wait is coming to an end within a few weeks you will be able to download the.
We have little information on the application, the picture you see above and that people have posted Windows Phone Central is a Nokia XL. We are looking forward to test it out thoroughly , for many can be the perfect app to replace Queen messaging applications in many countries, WhatsApp.
Latter until recently I had many problems in its version for Windows Phone with notifications also took several months to release an update and had to remove it from the store for a couple of weeks.

Microsoft working on improving the antitheft system Windows Phone

Microsoft-building
It is clear that anyone we like to steal our smartphone , is no longer just run out of the device, also lose all the information you have stored, photos, videos and more in short files. At Microsoft working to improve our anti-theft system Windows Phone , the new features will be available in the future through an update.
In particular the improvements are as follows :
  • Ability to delete all personal data from our smartphone remotely
  • Completely inoperative leaving the terminal for unauthorized users, although they may make calls to 911
  • Not able to reactivate the phone or touch the settings without the user's authorized
  • In the case of finding the device can be fully recovered if we let inoperative as long as we are the authorized user also recover user data stored in the cloud, in case you erase the thesmartphone
Search-Windows-Phone
All this does not prevent us from stealing our terminal, but perhaps the thief think twice before doing so as it will have a useless phone that will not let you do anything. Thus it may not be for personal use or sell it, so we think it may come in handy these new features.
Maybe some users do not know that Windows Phone already has some options that are useful in case of theft or loss of your terminal . If we enter into my phone is setup we will delete it, make it sound, lock or locate. After accessing the page windowsphone.com we will do everything that previously activated.

Nokia Lumia 930 vs Samsung Galaxy S5 comparative video recording

nokia-lumia-930
It was presented in April 2014 at the Microsoft Build a high end terminal that shares many similarities with the Nokia Lumia Icon,. The Nokia Lumia 930 was destined to become the perfect terminal Lumia family and really close to this idea, being able to easily compete with the high end of other operating systems like Android and one of its major terminals star, Samsung Galaxy S5.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 as you know was unveiled at MWC 2014 as one of the biggest releases of the important exhibition. Despite being improved that the Samsung Galaxy S4 are quite the criticism it has received, especially by a design that is not convincing and plastic finishes that remain like.
Co- Nokia Power User hand We Love Smartphones have made ​​a comparison video showing the recording quality of both models . Before the show I teach camera specifications of both models.

Nokia Lumia 930

  • PureView 20 megapixel camera with Zeiss optics, 6 lenses, opening af/2.4 lens with dual flash LED high power
  • OIS optical image stabilizer
  • Four microphones HAAC codec with Dolby Digital Plus
  • Maximum recording full HD at 30 fps

Samsung Galaxy S5

  • 16 megapixel camera with f/2.2 aperture
  • Hybrid approach
  • 4K recording at 30 fps
Samsung include the possibility of recording at UHD resolution (3,840 x 2.160p) , your opponent only gets to 1080, although the difference is clear, confident performance of the acclaimed Nokia PureView sensor technology to be better than the Samsung Galaxy S5. Besides the features optical stabilization Finnish to improve the pulse when recording video, something your opponent does not offer.


In the videos both terminals are at a high level but in the second video it shows the Samsung Galaxy S5 lack of optical image stabilization and can see how the sensor of the Nokia Lumia 930 is able to better adapt to low light conditions and that it has a less bright than his rival sensor, however I think it is best resolved in low light conditions.
Which of the two terminals will look better to you?
