Introduction

It may be a new house, new rules - but no sharp movements just yet. In the aftermath of Microsoft's recent acquisition of Nokia's devices and services department, it's really anyone's guess what will happen with the Finnish company that was once at the apex of the industry. There's no question marks hanging over the Lumia lineup though - it is going strong, and the Lumia 930 alongside the Windows Phone 8.1 update is proof that it's here to stay, be it under a new leadership.
The Lumia 930 was released in the US as the Nokia Lumia Icon this past February running Windows Phone 8, and after working the kinks out with the Windows Phone 8.1 update for it, Nokia is launching the international version right to the latest software.

Besides supporting some different LTE bands, the Lumia 930 is identical to the Icon. It does come with some nifty extras, however, as Nokia is trying to entice users by throwing in a wireless charging pad with dedicated A/C adapter, as well as some different paint jobs. Here's a look at what you get with the Nokia Lumia 930:

Key features

• 5" 16M-color ClearBlack AMOLED display of FullHD resolution, Gorilla Glass 3
• 2.2 GHz quad-core Krait 400 CPU, Adreno 330 GPU, Qualcomm MSM8974 Snapdragon 800 chipset, 2GB of RAM
• Windows Phone 8.1 OS with Nokia Cyan
• 20MP PureView camera with 1080p@30fps video recording, Carl Zeiss optics, optical image stabilization
• 1.2MP front-facing camera with 720p video recording
• 32GB of inbuilt storage
• Free offline lifetime voice-guided navigation worldwide with Drive+
• Nokia Music streaming service
• 15GB of free OneDrive storage
• FM Radio
• Li-Ion 2,420 mAh battery
• Wireless Charging Plate DT-900 included in retail package
• Aluminum frame

Main disadvantages

• No 2160p video recording
• No microSD card slot
• No headset included in the retail package

As far as recent flagship offerings go, the 930 does leave a bit to be desired. We would have liked to see a more recent Snapdragon 801 chip inside, and the lack of expandable storage and 2160p video recording make the 930 feel like it's falling behind competitors' flagships. Still, Nokia phones have traditionally relied on other strengths to set them apart, and the Lumia 930 may do enough there to give it the edge. There's also the new Windows Phone 8.1 update with Nokia Cyan to consider.
Windows Phone 8.1 has finally caught up to the competition and offers some long-awaited features such as Action Center with notification and quick toggles, customizable tile size and Start screen background, the Cortana voice assistant, Quiet Hours mode, and a swipe-able keyboard among many others. We'll get into the details in a bit.

DIMPOZ AWACHANGANYA JOKATE, VENESSA MDEE!

Acha kabisa! Habari ya mjini katika ulimwengu wa mastaa wa Kibongo ni madai ya Mbongo-Fleva, Omary Faraji Nyembo ‘Ommy Dimpoz’ kuwachanganya kimalovee, mastaa wenzake, Jokate Mwegelo ‘Kidoti’ na Vanessa Mdee ‘Van V’ au V-Money,

Kikizungumza na gazeti hili namba moja kwa habari za mastaa Bongo, chanzo makini kilisema Jokate na Vanesa kwa sasa ni kama chui na paka kufuatia hivi karibuni Jokate kudaiwa kuingilia penzi la mwanzake na mpaka sasa eti ndiye aliyeshikilia usukani.
“Sasa hivi Jokate na Ommy ni mahaba niue kwani mara nyingi wanakuwa pamoja.
“Hadi Jokate anakwenda geto kwa Ommy jambo ambalo limesababisha yeye na V-Money kutoelewana kwani awali ndiye alikuwa kiburudisho cha Ommy,” kilidai chanzo hicho.
Baada ya kuzinyaka habari hizi, mwanahabari wetu alimtafuta mhusika mkuu Ommy Dimpoz ambaye alikuwa na haya ya kusema:

“Ehee! Ndiyo nasikia kwako, kwani wasanii haturuhusiwi kupendana jamani, hata Mwalimu Nyerere (Baba wa Taifa) alisema tuwe pamoja kwa hiyo Jokate ni rafiki yangu wa karibu na huyo Vanessa sijawahi kuwa na uhusiano naye but (lakini) alikuwa mshikaji tu.”
Juhudi za kuwapata Jokate na Vanessa ziligonga mwamba baada ya simu zao kuita bila kupokelewa hivyo jitihada zinaendelea ili kila mmoja aeleze la moyoni mwake.Juzikati picha za Jokate na Ommy wakiwa kimahaba zilizagaa kwenye
