Get Camera Extras and Contact Share for your Nokia Lumia

Camera Extras

Two fantastic new apps, Camera Extras and Contact Share, are now available for your Nokia Lumia smartphone.

The two apps were announced a month ago and have already been rolled out in some countries, such as the USA and China, but are now in the Nokia Collection* for you to download wherever you are.

Camera Extras enhances your Lumia’s camera with a host of new functions and shot choices, while Contact Share is an easy way of sharing your contacts by SMS or email.

You can download and install these apps on any Nokia Lumia smartphone from the Nokia Collection in the Windows Phone Marketplace.

Camera Extras enhances your Lumia’s camera with some great new functions and shot choices.

Some photo opportunities and examples from Camera Extras was explored in this Conversations post.

Sharing contact information is something we all do a fairly frequent basis, whether we are manually inputting someone’s name, address, phone number and email address into our phones or we are giving that sort of information out to someone else

Contact Share

Perhaps, you are sharing the contact details of a mutual friend with a colleague, or you are asking your mum for the phone number of a distant relative.

Contact Share takes away the hassle from giving or receiving contact information with your friends, family and colleagues. Rather than writing anything down, or typing it in, it can now be all done by SMS and email.

This is faster and also eliminates the possibility of writing and typing in the wrong number!

If you have a Nokia Lumia 710 or Nokia Lumia 800 you will need to have the latest software update installed first. The software update also adds extra features to your phone such as flip-to-silence and Internet sharing. 

If you are one of the lucky ones who have already been using Camera Extras or Contact Share, let us know how you have been getting on in the comments below.

*While the apps find their way into the Nokia Collection, you can use the link from wpcentral  to download Camera Extras.

Meizu Russia confirms “Ubuntu rumors”

Yup, just as we’ve told you before, Ubuntu is coming to a Meizu smartphone near you. We still don’t have the official announcement, but details keep coming.,, The latest information (or that’s confirmation) comes from Meizu Russia, which says that Meizu engineers are in fact working on an Ubuntu version of the Meizu MX3. The work is apparently still underway to make things stable, and in the meantime they [engineers] are also working on a new version of Android-based Flyme ROM for both the Meizu MX2 and MX3, adding that Ubuntu won’t be released until the updated Flyme ROM is launched. It is said that Meizu will use Ubuntu as its ticket to the US market later in the year. At that time, we may also see either a revamped MX3 model or the whole new MX4 smartphone that will sport even better hardware under the hood. As usual, we’ll be on the lookout for any news coming from the Ubuntu camp and let you know as soon as we have something new to add. Stay tuned… [Via: GizChina] Dusan has been...

Android apps coming to Windows Phones?

There’s a weird rumor going around the Interwebs, suggesting that Microsoft may allow Android apps to run on Windows Phones. Something like that would quickly increase the app count for Microsoft’s mobile platform, but there are downsides as well. For one thing, this could entice developers to skip “regular” native development for Windows Phone. It’s a tricky choice. On one hand, the Redmond giant could benefit in the short term to have all those Android apps and games available on Windows Phone handsets. On the other hand, they could pretty much face extinction from the mobile game, with Windows Phone pretty much turning into yet another Android launcher. So no, we don’t think Microsoft will allow this to happen. At the same time, it may not stop other companies from pursuing this opportunity. Think BlueStacks, the company that already allows Android apps to run on Windows computers. Perhaps these same guys/gals can enable the same functionality on Windows Phones. We doubt the Redmon...
