Proclip notes:

This Holder tilts/angles 20 degrees for optimal viewing. It is a high quality custom made holder with a neat and discreet design. It keeps your device in an upright position for better reception.

Variety of gel and bumper cases already available for Nokia Lumia 900

image image

Even before the Nokia Lumia 900 hits stores, accessories for the handset are already available at AT&T’s online store.

The store is stocking cases in a variety of colours, including cyan, green and pink and include silicone cases, screen protectors and bumper cases, which seems to have escaped from the iPhone and landed on Windows Phone 7 now.

See the range at AT&T here.

Nokia Lumia 800 debuts at position 6 in Krusell’s TOP 10 selling smartphone list

image Krusell – TOP-10 selling phones for February 2012

1. (1) Apple iPhone 4/4S
2. (2) Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II
3. (5) Samsung Galaxy Nexus
4. (3) Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc/Arc S
5. (-) Samsung Galaxy Note
6. (-) Nokia Lumia 800
7. (6) Nokia C2-01
8. (9) HTC Sensation
9. (10) Sony Xperia S
10. (-) Sony Xperia Neo/Neo V
() = Last month’s position.

For the first time since its release in November 2011 the Nokia Lumia 800 has charted on Krusell’s list of most popular smartphones. The list is based on the volume of accessories (mainly cases) sold by the Swedish company, which nevertheless sells cases on 6 continents in 7 countries.

The handset charted at position 6, and its delayed debut is likely due to the massive push the handset had after being released in the Scandinavian countries.

Krusell notes:

On Krusell’s Topseller list for February the most interesting news are not shown in the top three, where normally all focus is, says Ulf Sandberg CEO at Krusell. I would like to point out Nokia Lumia 800 which is new on the list and goes straight into 6th place which is an indication that Nokias new smartphone is well received in the market.

The last Windows Phone to chart is the HTC Titan, which arrived at position 10 in November 2011 and peaked at position 9, in December, then dropped off the chart (and ultimately out of UK stores).

Something tells me the Nokia Lumia 800 will stick around a bit longer.

A selection of their cases can be seen here.

ROCCAT Power-Grid secondary game display will support Windows Phone also

image

One sign Windows Phone is gaining traction is support for niche applications.

It is therefore good to hear Roccat announce upcoming Windows Phone support for their Roccat Power Grid, an upcoming app that turns your iPhone or iPod touch into a companion for your gaming PC.

The app pulls messages from Facebook, Twitter, Skype, TeamSpeak and others into a unified chat client, helps you monitor your hardware in real time, has independently controls audio settings for different applications, and even lets you build (and share) custom touchscreen icons for macros as well. Communication with the PC is via WIFI, but Roccat is working on letting you monitor and control your PC over a cellular connection, if it can figure out the security issues.

The app will work without a dedicated cradle, which runs to $79, with Roccat still making money by selling additional macros for $0.99 cents each.

The app will be free at launch, with an iOS version first, and Android version by August and a Windows Phone version by the end of the year.

Nokia has arranged with AintnoSaints to create custom painted covers. They will be offering one off covers, their own tattoo inspired designs and also small corporate branded runs of covers.

The covers will be available in their online shop, where they will be featured heavily.

HTC releases new HTC Titan car cradle with “car panel” app

b222078

HTC has just released a new car cradle for the HTC Titan.  The accessory features its own charging port to help manage the wires in the car, and features the stylish ball and joint design (pity about that awful plastic holder however).

More interesting however is that inserting your Titan into the cradle will activate both Bluetooth and the “car panel”.

We assume the car panel is a similar app to the bedside cradle app, which may include easily fingerable launchers to car navigation apps and other information.

It will cost a pricy £49.99 ( $79) to find out exactly what the car panel does, but when you do please let us know.

Monster also attending Nokia’s CES press conference to announce “exciting new products”

purity-nokia-facebook

Monster have posted the above message on their Facebook page, indicating that they will join Nokia at CES on the 9th January to share “exciting new products”

The products, from Monster at least, are not likely to be too mysterious, likely being Nokia’s Monster-branded headphones, but providing branded accessories to go with their flagship US handsets will provide a better impression of the Nokia ecosystem than just the handset itself.

Nokia to release audio accessories by Monster

image image

Pocketnow have managed to get their hands on some promotional material from Nokia showing their new Monster-branded headphones, the Nokia Purity HD Stereo Headsets.

A particularly interesting element to this is that HTC recently purchased a controlling stake in Beats by Dr Dre, who’s kit are also ODMed by Monster Cable. The implication would be that the audio quality would be as good as Beats headsets, but without the brand name or paying $300 million.

The whole issue should be clarified at Nokia World, coming up on the 26th October.

Nokia Sea Ray silicone cases show up in Nokia N9 video

image

These days you never know what people will notice in an even seemingly innocuous video. 

In a video touting the design of the Nokia N9 3 silicone cases for the Nokia Sea Ray also made a cameo appearance, differentiated from those for the N9 by the position  of the flash and the presence of a camera button hole.

Now if the handset would only make a surprise appearance in stores also…

See the video after the break.

A look at HTC’s new Dock interface

image

The HTC Titan and HTC Radar will have a Dock accessory available, designed to be used by the bedside for charging the phone and to allow the phone to be used as an alarm clock.

WPCentral managed to grab a screen shot of the app in action, here composited on the picture of the dock accessory by Engadget.

The app will show the date, current weather, HTC multimedia apps, including their movie service and HTC Photo Frame for a picture slide show, and also allow music to be played.

It is not yet known if the app will start automatically when the phone us plugged in, but the Engadget picture suggests not.

Update: Pocket-Lint also captured the phone in its dock and was able to confirm, in their preview of the Radar, that the Dock interface will indeed start up automatically.

Read their full first look at the handset here.

Engadget revealed at their hands-on that HTC’s new devices will have docks available as optional accessories, allowing the devices to charge overnight and be used as alarm clocks.

Almost makes one wish Windows Phone 7 hand a bit better landscape support…

JOYSTICK-IT for iPhone will work on Windows Phones also

stickFrom time to time we hear complaints from our gaming readers that Windows Phones need real buttons for games (the most recent being our review of Sonic 4).  ThinkGeek has created a solution for the iPad and iPhone which will work for any device with a capacitive screen, and will turn a virtual D-pad into a pretty solid real one pretty quickly.

The solid aluminium joystick with suction cup is removable and repositionable, should work with numerous games and costs $17.99.
