Hasta La Gadget!

Finding a college internship that isn’t soul-draining can be tough, but Nokia wants to help with that. Today, the Finnish company is announcing a joint effort with Internships.com to release Internships Lens, an app that leverages augmented reality and your social circles to point you toward the nearest gig that hopefully pays more than just school credit. It’s similar to JobLens in that it displays employment info over the top of wherever your Lumia’s camera is looking — again using LiveSight tech — and is exclusive to Nokia’s line of Windows Phone 8 handsets. What’s more, you can research an employer from within the app, which could calm those pre-interview jitters. If you still need a ‘ship for the upcoming winter semester, maybe this could help.

We’ve already had a peek at the back of Nokia’s reported Lumia 1520 spinoff for Verizon. Today, we may be looking at the front: frequent tipster @evleaks has posted what’s claimed to be a press image of the Lumia 929. While the 929 render hasn’t been directly linked to the earlier photo, the abundance of home screen tiles hints at an equally large phone with the 1520’s Windows Phone GDR3 software. It may not be as big as the 1520 itself, though. An RM-927 phone recently reached the FCC with both Verizon LTE and dimensions only slightly larger than the Lumia 625. If it represents the 929, the carrier may be using a roughly 5-inch screen instead of the 1520’s rumored 6-inch display. Whatever we’re looking at, there’s a chance that we’ll see more of it on October 22nd.

Update: “Popular demand” had persuaded @evleaks to post a press image of the phone’s backside (viewable after the break), which looks identical to the leaked shot we saw earlier this month.

With all the hoopla surrounding Microsoft‘s purchase of Nokia‘s mobile business, leaks of an aborted Nokia Android smartphone, or talks of a Nokia Surface tablet, it might have been easy to forget another rumored Nokia device that is, to some extent, probably closer to reality. But now we’re receiving details of the Nokia Lumia 1520 […]

If you believe the rumors, Nokia was supposed to launch the supersized Lumia 1520 (aka Bandit) as soon as next week. However, this unannounced Windows Phone may have hit an unofficial snag: Reuters claims that Nokia has delayed the unveiling by “several weeks” in the wake of Microsoft’s plans to buy the company’s device business. There’s no word on an adjusted release date, although the historically accurate @evleaks has heard that the 1520 might appear in late October. Not surprisingly, Nokia isn’t commenting on delays for a product that doesn’t officially exist — but don’t be shocked if there’s a new flagship Lumia later in the fall.

Earlier today, word surfaced that Nokia had developed an Android handset before the Microsoft acquisition negotiations began, and now new sources have appeared telling of a Microsoft Surface Phone handset. Reportedly, Microsoft had built multiple prototypes of its own Surface handset, something that ultimately never came to be. The sources spoke to the folks over […]
