Tiny titanium tactical tool

quietcarry_keychain_titanium_8

We might as well christen this week ‘Titanium Week’. We spoke not long ago about Feastform’s ultra resilient titanium utensils that would only need replacing if they got lost (that’s how long they’d last), and now of Quiet Carry’s Bandit titanium key organizer with a concealed knife. It’s small, functional, and practically indestructible.

With a case made from Grade 5 Titanium (the best quality out there), and an AUS8 stainless steel blade that’s slim, sharp and sturdy, all at the same time, the Bandit measures just 1.8 inches when closed. The casing conceals a 1.2inch blade and fits into any key-chain, occupying a minimal footprint, going unnoticed at most times… until the time you desperately need a cutting tool. Once you’re done cutting away at whatever it is that needed cutting, fold it and lock it back into its anti-ageing, anti-corrosive, anti-destruction titanium casing.

Storyteller app for Windows Phone and Windows 8 appears in leaked screenshots

Storyteller app for Windows Phone and Windows 8 appears in leaked screenshots

@evleaks is at it again. This time the prolific leaker has blasted out two screen grabs of an app called Storyteller, which made a Live Tile-cameo in the alleged screencap of a Nokia Bandit, an oversized Windows Phone 8 device. The app appears to be a Windows 8 and WP photo album that lets users sift through images by timeline, favorites and shared, or browse them on a map. A close look at the top right of the application meant for larger devices reveals a "My tablet" menu, suggesting it boasts integration with slates. Given that @evleaks mentions Bandit, Espoo's long-rumored Sirius pad and October 22nd event date, it's a safe bet that we'll see new hardware -- and at least one new app -- this fall.

Nokia teases ‘innovation reinvented’ event on October 22nd

Nokia teases 'innovation reinvented' on October 22nd

Well, isn't this convenient? Rumors have circulated that Nokia was delaying the Lumia 1520 launch beyond late September, and the company has just teased an "innovation reinvented" event on October 22nd. The company isn't giving many clues, although the desert skiing image is curious -- we're wondering if the press gathering may take place in a similarly exotic venue. Wherever the event takes place, you know we'll be there.

Nokia Lumia 1520 launch reportedly delayed in wake of Microsoft deal

Nokia Lumia 1520 leak

If you believe the rumors, Nokia was supposed to launch the supersized Lumia 1520 (aka Bandit) as soon as next week. However, this unannounced Windows Phone may have hit an unofficial snag: Reuters claims that Nokia has delayed the unveiling by "several weeks" in the wake of Microsoft's plans to buy the company's device business. There's no word on an adjusted release date, although the historically accurate @evleaks has heard that the 1520 might appear in late October. Not surprisingly, Nokia isn't commenting on delays for a product that doesn't officially exist -- but don't be shocked if there's a new flagship Lumia later in the fall.

Extra-large Nokia Lumia 1520 surfaces in press image

Nokia Lumia 1520 press image surfaces

Want a clear look at Nokia's Lumia 1520 (aka Bandit)? You may just have it. After posting a screen capture earlier in the week, @evleaks has released what's reportedly a press image of the super-sized, 1080p Windows Phone. The render largely matches what we've seen before, including the additional Live Tiles on the home screen, but the back is new. It suggests that there will be a Lumia 925-style camera hump -- sorry, no 41-megapixel sensor here -- along with aesthetics borrowed from other members of the Lumia family. There's no guarantee that this image is real, but we won't be surprised if it accurately represents Nokia's last flagship before Microsoft takes the reins.

Alleged Nokia ‘Bandit’ screen grab adds fuel to large 1080p Lumia 1520 rumors (update: GDR3?)

Nokia 'Bandit' screen leak backs up giant 1520 Lumia

While technically not the biggest Nokia news of the morning, it's possibly news of the biggest Nokia. The ever resourceful @evleaks has posted what is claimed to be a screenshot from the Nokia "Bandit," also suspected to emerge as the Lumia 1520. There's a lot going on in the image, but one thing's for sure, you'll not be left wanting for space for mini tiles. Though even then, there are options.

Update: Upon further inspection, there are a few interesting things to note. The original image is 1,080 x 1,920 -- a resolution not currently supported in Windows Phone. This corroborates claims that GDR3 will be coming along for the ride, along with a revised camera app (or icon, at least). Oh, and of course, more columns and rows for your start menu!

Nokia Lumia 1520 First Photo Leaks


It is already reported earlier this month that Nokia is testing a large-screen phone with AT&T by the codename of "Bandit". Now a new leaked image posted by a Verge forum member shows same 6-inch...

Nokia’s giant Lumia 1520 reportedly poses for the camera

Nokia's giant Lumia 1520 reportedly poses for the camera with a custom case

Rumors are circulating that Nokia's first extra-large smartphone, possibly called the Lumia 1520, is near launch. If it's real, you might be looking at it -- Windows Phone Central has obtained a photo that purportedly shows the device for the first time. The snapshot presents a behemoth that makes even the Lumia 1020 look dainty. Unfortunately, there's little to corroborate claims that a quad-core processor, a 20-megapixel camera and Windows Phone 8 GDR3 lurk inside. We've also seen a previous fake that looks like this, although the new phone's bezel both matches that from a July part rumor and carries the prototype stamp common to Nokia test units. When there's talk of Nokia unveiling the 1520 in late September alongside a Windows tablet, we may learn the truth behind the photo within a few weeks.
