We haven’t even officially kicked of CES 2015 yet but there is already Windows Phone news to report.  Yezz Mobile, the budget friendly Windows Phone manufacture, has announced the new Billy 5S LTE which will support LTE networks in the North America market, a 5″ IPS HD display and an impressive 13MP camera.  The Yezz Mobile website did not have any pricing information available on this new Windows Phone but if it is similar to the Billy 4 and 4.7, you can expect it to be at a budget friendly price.

Coloud Pop Headphones Review – Great Sound and Quality at A Great Price

January 2, 2015 Windows Phone Accessories 7 Comments

No matter what type of music you like, headphones and speakers make all of the difference when it comes to sound quality.  This is particularly true on the sub-$100 end of the scale where the vast majority of us reside, particularly when it comes to headphones.  I’ve always been one who tries to keep my headphone purchases under $30 for a lot of reasons but mostly because I tend to tear them up with the amount of travel I do and frankly I lose them.

Recently I picked up a pair of the Coloud Pop Headphones to use with my Lumia 1320 and have been nothing short of impressed.  Normally priced at $24.99 but currently on sale for $9.99, this headset provides outstanding sound quality for listening to music but also has a built-in microphone so phone calls are not a problem for this accessory.  It is also designed to be tangle free which makes it great when you are frantically pulling it out of your bag to join a conference call.  No more trying to sort out the cords while trying to listen to the call at the same time.  All this for under ten bucks is hard to beat.

Lumia Denim Rollout Guide

Microsoft has begun rolling out Lumia Denim and Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 to users but, as is usually the case, it is staggered depending on your location and mobile provider.  Newer Lumia’s will have Lumia Denim already and Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 already installed but others will need to install these updates to get the latest-and-greatest on their device.

It is important to draw a distinction however between what Lumia Denim is and what it is not.  Hopefully I can clear that up for you and tell you exactly where you can find out when you can expect Lumia Denim to hit your Windows Phone.

Review of The Kindle App for Windows Phone – Solid Performance But Lacking Features

While eReader apps have come and gone – along with their services – the one constant that has remained is Amazon’s Kindle.  The Kindle app has been available for Windows Phone for some time now and its performance and stability has certainly improved over time.  The biggest challenge with the app remains feature parity when compared to the iOS or Android version of the app.  It is an area that Amazon could and should improve this app for Windows Phone users (and for Windows as well I might add) to get the full benefit of all the features available from Amazon on the platform.
