Pocketnow is known for leaking images and information about upcoming devices and they are at it again. This time around they have got us the image and specs information of ‘LG Miracle’ running Windows Phone OS which is a mid-range device. The Miracle is the same device that we saw as the ‘LG Fantasy’ back in December.
Going by the specs, the LG Miracle will come with a 4 inch WVGA NOVA display, thus making it one of the brightest Windows Phone until now. Under the hood it’ll run on a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, will have 8GB of onboard storage, a 5 MP camera at the rear with capability of taking videos at 720p. With this it’ll also have a front facing VGA camera.

So just today we saw Nokia announce that its Lumia 800 will arrive dressed in White later this month and today we see the Finnish company accidently post a picture of 800’s big-brother, the Lumia 900 in White. Nokia initially tagged the post as Nokia 800 in White but if we look at the picture closely, we can see the front-camera.
And thus Nokia leaked out a very-beautiful looking Lumia 900 which seems to be a global variant as it doesn’t sport the AT&T logo on it. Also the global variant is expected to arrive sans the LTE radio. It’ll be interesting to see as to as to when this white-coloured device will reach the global shores but with the image leaking out now, expect it to arrive soon. We are expecting an announcement of the same at the upcoming MWC later this month.

Don’t you hate it when you receive pop-ups and ads that constantly bug you? While it does fetch a lot of revenue for people who put up the ads, it isn’t pleasing for users/consumers. Ads have already reached our mobile phones, and now they are going to creep into the social media content on your mobile.
The Financial Times has reported that Facebook will be bringing ads to mobile devices in the next two months. A number of individuals affiliated with Facebook's planning say that it has been in discussions with advertising agencies about displaying "featured stories" in the news feed on mobile devices. These could arrive by early March, ahead of Facebook's initial public offering.
