Nokia to abandon mobile business and sell it’s assets to Huawei or Microsoft in 2013?!
It first seemed that Nokia’s Lumia 920 was the company saver, but now Forbes predicts that Nokia is abandoning it’s mobile business and selling it’s assets to either Huawei or Microsoft. The prediction was written by Forbes contributor Tristan Louis, founder of Keepskor. He also states that 2013 will see great deal of movement in the mobile industry, and Nokia’s departure from the mobile handset market will be among the year’s most notable events.
Nokia abandons the mobile business: The biggest shocker (and what I suspect will be my most controversial prediction), though, will be the the departure of Nokia from the phone business as the company sells its mobile operation and infrastructure divisions to Huawei in order to focus on software and services. With the company’s bet on Windows 8 having failed in the marketplace, it will see Microsoft and Huawei competing for the mobile device division and will eventually sell its smartphone group to Microsoft and the rest of its telecom interests to Huawei.

Nokia Lumia 825 with PureMotion screen coming next year?!
Nokia Lumia 825 surfaced in China, and yes it’s similar to Lumia 820, except it’s going to have PureMotion display, similar to Lumia 920. Lumia 825 is going to come with Windows Phone 8 OS. It’s also packed with 16GB of internal storage against 8GB in Lumia 820, all the other specs are identical, from dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor to the 1GB of RAM and 8MP camera on the back.
The most notable spec on Lumia 825 has to be the PureMotion display, which should have amazing outside visibility, shorter pixel response time and might just make the cut to be used with gloves.
It’s believed that Lumia 825 will arrive in February next year, but nothing is official. Check out more photos from the gallery after the break.

Microsoft will be releasing Windows Phone 8 update called “Portico” in this month!
Nokia Care US has posted a Tweet(after the break) to a customer about some trouble he was having with reset, etc. Microsoft is going to release Windows Phone 8 update called “Portico” to fix issues such as stability and reboot issues. SMS drafts and call rejection are also included in “Portico”.
It’s still unclear that will the update be universal and does it introduce stability fixes across WP8 devices as well, or is it just for Nokia Lumia smartphones. HTC 8X already got an update, but it was just Microsoft’s plan to test OTA system. The “Portico” update for Windows Phone 8 is believed to arrive in this month, but the date is still unknown.
