Video Collection: Nokia Lumia 710 for T-Mobile hands on
I’m not sure I like how this would be the first impression of Nokia Lumia for the states. Fortunately most of the bloggers there had already been given a 800 so they know how much better design can be (the 710 isn’t shabby. When the concepts were first shown there was much praise for it). [...]

Nokia Drive, for Pedestrian walking on the Nokia Lumia 800?
Nokia Drive, as the name suggests, is for driving – when you or someone else is in a vehicle. But it’s totally great for pedestrian walking – for me at least.
