New Lumia 920 video glimpses unseen Transfer My Data, Nokia Drive+ apps

The same crew at NokiaGang who brought the earlier video OIS exam with the Lumia 920 have a short video showing off the matte-black version. The video itself doesn't reveal too much, though we have seen less of the all-blackness variation of the 920 since Nokia seems to focus on yellow for most product shots.

Interestingly, the handler does get the privilege of magically swiping to the right to see the programs list. Shocker, it'due south the aforementioned as Windows Phone seven though we practise quickly see a Transfer my Data app in that list. The plan is never launched and we're unsure if this is part of the cloud-backup solution for saving app information that we showed in the SDK video or if this is a Nokia app to farther augment that service (e.grand. from whatever other smartphone).

The video at least gives you a dainty visual "feel" for the device including size (the bottom does look thick) and a quick comparing to a Lumia 900.

We besides noticed that Nokia Bulldoze is at present chosen Nokia Drive+ instead. That proper name change may take an easy explanation: Since all Windows Phone 8 devices take access to turn-by-plough navigation powered by Nokia Maps, it would seem Nokia would become beyond that for its users by offering Nokia Drive Plus.

Of course what that actually means in terms of new functions versus standard Windows Phone 8-Nokia powered mapping, is unclear. Merely our gauge is if Nokia is "giving up" something for the platform, they volition make upward for it in other means eastward.g. merging Nokia Transit (renamed Transport) and augmented reality features.

Nosotros know from New York that Windows Phone eight will include indoor mapping and there are enough of opportunities for Nokia there besides and that Nokia Maps will get augmented reality also.
