>> IFI MAJID: Hi. So, I’m super thrilled to talk to you about Lumia 822 today. Today,
we announced it with Verizon. It’s going to be available around the Q4 timeframe. Here’s
the device itself. You can first of all see, it’s beautiful, it’s glossy white. I have
got the wireless charging cover on the back here, which basically means that I’m able
to just put it on any of our wireless charging accessories over there and it instantly starts
charging.
Let me tell you a little bit about the phone. First thing about the phone is, it’s a 4.3
inch wide VGA 800x480 display. It’s a ClearBlack display as well. So basically, when you’re
outside, you’re going to be able to see it really, really well.
So, I‘ll take you through a little bit of my phone. So, first of all, you can see Verizon,
so happy that they are one of our partners on board Windows Phone. I got my Nokia email
there. You can see my PeopleHub, the people that are important to me, my wife and myself,
so I can see.
Then we have Nokia Music which is really cool, because it’s completely ad free, subscription
free music service. And what you are able to do here is be able to stream music for
our massive catalogue of music tracks. And here what I’ve done is I’ve actually got
a mix that I actually have downloaded offline, and I’ve pinned it to my home screen and
also in Xbox Music, you can do some podcasts, so you can see some podcasts that I’ve actually
put on my home screen as well.
I’ll take you through the apps in a second. Then I have like my Nokia Drive, which is
completely free turn-by-turn navigation. We have also got street names on that as well.
One of the other big improvements that we’ve made to it as well. You can see my calendar,
you can see the photos. Actually with Windows 8, it actually goes into the full screen here
as well. And you can see the different live titles and the different apps that I have
here.
One cool thing that we have and Steve was talking about it on stage is Data Sense, so
you can see how much you’re actually using. So, here we are using 151 megabytes of cellular
and WiFi, so you can make sure that you’re always in time in terms of the amount of content
that you are using.
So, let me quickly take you through one of the key applications that I really like, which
is Nokia City Lens. I think it’s a really cool lens, let’s see if it’s going to
work there. So, first of all, it’s an application that is going to be integrated into Map soon
and you’re able to see all around the different areas. So, first of all, it knows I’m in
San Francisco, and it knows that I’m – I just need to calibrate the compass, there
you go, because we are inside – so then I can instantly see what’s nearby.
So, here I can see that close by a Sang Kee restaurant or Rainbow Star or whatever it
is nearby. So, I can see that one for example. It brings up the Map screen. And it’s using
the dual-core 1.5 gig processor on the device over LTE. It brings up the restaurant or whatever
it is. I can see photos, reviews, what’s nearby, what’s it about, et cetera.
So, that’s really cool, and then I go back to the City Lens view. And actually when I’m
like this and I’m looking for places, that’s when I’m out and about, I can do that. But
actually then, when I’m actually walking, I want to have it in the palm of my hand,
so I can see what’s nearby as well. And actually then, when I put it flat what it
should do, when I put it absolutely flat, it’s going to the Map’s mode.
So, that was quickly around City Lens, a really cool feature that we’ve got on the Lumia
822 with Verizon.
Yeah, it was actually said on stage that it’s actually $99 with a rate plan with Verizon
and they will come up and tell you what the rate plan actually is involved.
Timing and availability: we’re aiming to get it out around November time. We want to
get it out in time for Black Friday. We know you guys are going to love it. And we can’t
wait for you guys to use it. Tell us how much you like it. We are super proud of that.
>> MARK GUIM: Awesome. Thanks a lot.
>> IFI MAJID: Thank you.
