Microsoft to unveil new Lumia handset on November 11

Microsoft has just given us the date when we’ll see its first smartphone after the drop of the Nokia brand. Using the hashtag MoreLumia, the company’s teaser confirms a new smartphone is on the way and it will break cover on November 11.

The teaser itself doesn’t give us too much information – we only see a corner of the smartphone which also holds the front-facing camera. Whether or not that is going to be one of the key selling points of the device remains to be seen – images like this one are often used in promo materials so it might just be a coincidence.

The bit that Microsoft gave us aligns nicely with the Lumia RM-1090, which visited the Chinese TENAA certificate authority four days ago. The entry-level offering comes with a 5” qHD screen and offers dual SIM slots. There’s no LTE support, but judging from Microsoft’s recent phones there could be a single SIM 4G version too.

We’ll know for sure come Tuesday as Microsoft unveils its first non-Nokia smartphone.

Apple Watch coming spring 2015, says Apple Retail SVP

Apple Watch was introduced last September alongside the new Apple iPhone 6 duet. The long awaited smartwatch was demonstrated extensively but its release date was mentioned as just "early 2015". Well, as it seems the Apple Watch might not be coming as early in 2015 as we hoped.

The Senior Vice President of Apple Retail and Online Stores addressed the Apple's employees in a video message highlighting the upcoming holiday season, the following Chinese New Year, and then the spring release of the Apple Watch. Here is the important part of the video transcript.

As you can see Angela Ahrendts, the SVP of Apple Retail, is clearly pointing the spring season for the release of the Apple Watch. This means the gadget will kick off in late March or April in 2015.

So, if you hoped for an early release of the Apple Watch, we have to disappoint you. The cheapest version of the Watch will set you back $350, so at least you'll have some extra time to save some money for the model that suits you best.
