The famous universal IM client for mobiles, Nimbuzz launched its Windows Phone 8 Mobile app in the Windows Pone Marketplace globally. Nimbuzz is a cross-platform mobile messaging and entertainment app which allows users to message, video, call, meet, and share data with family and friends on any mobile device.

Nimbuzz on Windows Phone 8 now supports resizable Live Tiles which users can choose as per their display on the device’s home screen. A larger Live Tile can also visually alert the user to the number of unread messages. Additionally, The Live Tile, regardless of size, will periodically flip over to show a segment of the content so a user can decide to immediately to respond, to join a chat group or to view later. The new Windows Phone 8 release of the Nimbuzz app also supports locked screen notifications. New communication alerts, whether they are chats, group chats, file shares or other notifications, can be viewed directly when the screen is locked, alerting the user of pending activity within the Nimbuzz app. The new version also delivers increased app performance and responsiveness. Nimbuzz was and is available for the Windows Phone 7.5 but it lacks the enhancements of WP8.

Windows Phone Is Second Most Preferred Mobile OS In India

by Hans Gogia • April 1, 2013

Microsoft company representative at the TechEd Conference held in Pune few days ago gave out this information that Windows Phone now owns the second position in the mobile operating system leader-board in India.

Microsoft claimed that Windows Phone shipments increased all of a sudden by 38% in Q4 2012 here and is still on the rise. This surge was expected after the aggressive marketing strategies by Microsoft and its smart phone partners especially Nokia. Nokia’s dominant sales and marketshare in the second most populus country in the world justifies its contribution to this rise. Android being the leader is still way ahead of what Windows Phone has achieved but Windows Phone still have managed to drag iOS behind. With few more Lumia phones lined up for shipments, we can makes sense out of these statements.

Nokia India and New India Assurance tied up to bring first of its kind service in India. According to this when you buy a new Nokia handset from Nokia store in selected cities( Delhi and the National Capital Region, Jaipur, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Pune, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Cochin.) you get an insurance scheme with handset that allow you to safeguard your device against risks of the mobile handset loss and damage.This insurance plan was announced by Nokia India on Tuesday. This insurance plan will be active on March 14, 2013 through Nokia branded retail stores across country.

This insurance facility is unique in India. No other company like Apple, Samsung, LG, BlackBerry provides this type of service to their customers. The only thing with this service that I don’t like is that it is only available through their Branded stores. You will not able to get insurance of Nokia devices if you buy them online or from other stores.

Earlier Micromax also said that it also wants to introduce insurance plans for their handset. As company is getting more popularity by its big screen and cheap devices.And company wants to establish as a trusted brand, Micromax also said that it will also introduces expandable warranty plans for its devices. But still there is not any kind of official news from Micromax.
