Down but not out, Nokia is back with a serious contender in the smartphone world, the Lumia 900. But does the cellphone giant still know what it takes to make a solid handset?

 If you’ve been waiting for a major update to Windows Phone 7 – the latest variety is now being rolled out in Canada (and the rest of the world), according to Microsoft.

Microsoft has pulled the wraps off its next-generation operating system that is designed to be tablet-friendly – and ready to stem the tide of users ditching desktops for tablets.
