T-Mobile USA today announced they’re bringing the Nokia Lumia 810 to the United States. A beautiful smartphone that brings the best of Windows Phone 8 along with a sharp-shooting camera, the Nokia Lumia 810 also brings a minimalistic design and industry-leading navigation services.

Expected to be available in the coming weeks, Nokia Lumia 810 comes packed with a sharp and gorgeous 4.3-inch OLED screen that features a ClearBlack display, meaning your colors will pop and blacks will be deep and dark. Want to add some personality to your phone? No problem, the Lumia 810 makes this possible with interchangeable charging shells that come in black and cyan and let you charge your phone without hooking up a wire at all.

Picture perfect

We’re proud to have Carl Zeiss as a long-term imaging partner, and Nokia Lumia 810 carries an 8-megapixel camera accompanied by a Carl Zeiss lens. If you like making video calls, you’ll be happy to know that Nokia Lumia 810 has a front-facing camera that lets you conduct video chats in crystal clear HD resolution.

Making use of the new Lens capability, Nokia Lumia 810 owners will be able to capture memories with Cinemagraph, a built in animated-photo creative studio; wide-bodied panorama photos and Group Shot – which gives you the capability to take that perfect group photo by assembling everyone’s wonderful smiling faces.

Know where, now!

Nokia is quickly becoming known as the where company – giving Lumia owners crucial information on what’s going on around them as well as how to get there. Nokia City Lens is an easy-to-use app that overlays information about restaurants, shops and hotels as you look at a building. Think of it as a “heads-up” display for your daily life.

Additionally, with Nokia Drive, you’ll never get lost with voice-guided, turn-by-turn navigation that works even when you’re out of reach of a mobile signal. If you are reliant on public transportation, Nokia Transit will help you hop onto buses and trains in major metropolitan areas with ease.

Also preloaded on the Nokia Lumia 810 is Nokia Music, offering free music streaming from a collection of over 17 million tracks. Nokia Music lets you create playlists from your own tastes, or select from hundreds of specially curated mixes drawn from the Nokia Music collection. What’s more, you can download these playlists to listen to anywhere. Nokia Music doesn’t require a subscription or sign-up and it’s completely free.

All in all, the Nokia Lumia 810, powered by T-Mobile’s ultra-fast 4G network and value data plans, is an amazing phone that comes in a beautiful package.

Stay tuned to NokiaUS on Twitter and Facebook for the latest on pricing and availability.

Planning a journey across a city by public transport can be a nightmare; what time does the train arrive? How do I get from the station to the end destination? Nokia has the answer to those problems. Nokia Transport can help you find the best and quickest route around town, and the latest version, available as a beta you can download and test from Nokia Beta Labs expands on the global coverage and delivers more improvements.

For regular users of public transport, you’ll be familiar with trying to figure out how to get somewhere, in the time that suits you. Nokia Transport uses your current location to find transport stations nearby, and by using your input to find a destination, calculates the best way to get there.

One of the new clever features we have now introduced with Nokia Transport is that it knows you likely want to search for transport stations, and will therefore prioritise them for you. These will be pushed to the top of the list, meaning that you’re spending less time hunting through the possible destination list.

Nokia Transport is available in more than 550 cities worldwide, and our coverage is constantly growing. For cities where public transport schedules are published and available, Nokia Transport provides timetable routing. This includes details of precise departure and arrival times, the time the transport will stop at each stop along the journey as well as any waiting times you may have between different legs of the journey. Plus, automatic over-the-air updates ensure you always have the latest information on schedules and routes as well as on newly supported cities.

In this new version of Nokia Transport, the icons have been modified to make your journey more ‘glanceable’, allowing you to keep your head up more and not stuck pointing downwards, facing the screen of your phone. Different icons now represent different modes of transport, e.g. bus, train, or subway each has it’s own icon. Additionally, hotels, restaurants and shops now have new icons, too.

Whether you’re looking for the way back to your hotel or to a café you only recently discovered, your previous destinations are now also always available by swiping left or right on the start screen of the app. So, no matter where you are, simply tap on one of them to see the route option for getting there from wherever you are.

Exclusive to the Nokia Lumia family, Nokia Transport is your perfect companion if you’re hopping on and off public transport. Even if you’re not a regular public transport user, this is one of those apps that’s useful to have in your app-arsenal.

This latest version of Nokia Transport is available for the Nokia Lumia 610, Nokia Lumia 710, Nokia Lumia 800 and the Nokia Lumia 900. You can also expect to see Nokia Transport arriving on the upcoming Nokia Lumia 920 and Lumia 820, too.

Important notice: there might be a publishing delay (1-2 days) on Windows Phone Store in your country or region. If you don’t see the new version, try checking the store later, or until your phone informs you of an update. Thanks for your patience.

Fellow bookworms, I’m an avid reader. We’re talking at least one book a week (sadly nothing highbrow, mostly crime fiction). Those of you living in regions where the most excellent Nokia Reading has been released can feed your habit for the written word on your phones. How does Nokia Reading compare to a library like this though?:

It has a continuous 480 metre browsing path that culminates in a café. Now that’s my kind of place!

There’s no question that a library itself is a fantastic community resource and many libraries are architectural wonders. I’ve always been a fan of the Seattle Central Library, with its stunningly designed reflective mesh.

Awesome buildings aside, having access to so many books from just my Lumia is mouth-watering, and this is why I’m asking you, what books you have been tearing through on it recently. Please recommend your favourites and thanks in advance!

Nokia Reading was updated last month too. The update now allows you to import E-books from Skydrive and has a handy news stream, where you can keep up-to-speed with the world. If you have any feedback on the app, I’d be happy to hear about it in the comments section or on Twitter.

It is an amusing quirk that so many of us tend to use SMS on our phones to communicate with our friends and family rather than actually talking to them. Of course, I am guilty of this myself.

We know that texting is the most popular form of phone communication in the UK and it is likely to be a similar story around the world.

The unstoppable rise of SMS has lead to new ways of expressing ourselves, such as emoticons and other text-tastic abbreviations. But why stop there?

There are some apps in the Windows Phone Marketplace for your Nokia Lumia smartphone that can transform your SMS messages into much more than just letters and smileys.

Here are five free apps that can pimp up your texts.

MyTextTwister

Why send someone a simple plain text, when you can do it with upside down letters, in faux Cyrillic or in mirror writing?

Whatever it is you are trying to say, there are all sorts of cool effects that you can use to ‘reinforce’ the message. If words are not enough for you, then MyTextTwister also has a database of over 1,200 emoticons to help you say it in cute little graphics too.

As well as SMS or emailing, there is also the option of sharing your souped up messages on social networking sites. 

SMSFunPics

This app is testament to the old cliché that a picture is worth a thousand words. You don’t need to describe the animal when you can just send a drawing. 

SMSFunPics uses ASCII to illustrate drawings, which you can then copy and paste into your message box. There are categories such as love, animals, signs, people and emotions.

The images have all been done for you, so a lack of artistic talent is no barrier to using the app. 

Easy SMS

Easy SMS offers a slightly different take on the idea of transforming your texts. Rather than adding colour or fun effects it is actually a database of cheesy and sentimental lines to suit each and every occasion.

For example, if you want to say thanks to a friend, why not send this instead?

“A deep friend is like a rainbow, when the perfect amount of happiness and tears are mixed, the result is a colourful bridge between two hearts.”

I did not (and I could not) make that up. I’m not even sure it makes sense. However, if you’ve got writer’s block and are looking show off your poetic side, then this is the app for you. 

Magic Text

Magic Text lets you send messages in unusual and ever so slightly cryptic graphics.

You need to assemble the messages character by character from categories such as numbers, smiles and objects. Each category has dozens of little shapes, fonts and clip arts for you to choose from. Click on the ones you like to include them in your message.

This is not the most intuitive interface but with a little patience you can create some fabulous and unique results. Whereas many of the other apps have already created the graphics for you, with Magic Text, you’re free to let your imagination run wild. 

I Love You SMS

How many ways can you say, ‘I Love you?’ Well, with this app, you can say it in at least 18 different languages.

Pick the translation of ‘I Love You’ that you want and then press send. It is then copy and pasted in your message box ready to be sent off on cupid’s arrow towards your special one. 

This is an extremely simple and charming idea, which is guaranteed to bring a smile to the recipient’s face. What better use could there be for SMS?
