This is going to be my next smartphone!! And because I'm from Spain, It will arrive here in november together with the Lumia 710.
Now, Windows Phone Rules!

What about N703, 8gb variant of N800? No secondary Camera for video calling is a Deal-Breaker for me. Now, I have to look at Samsung now for a phone with Secondary Camera.

I love how Nokia makes some of the best looking phones (800) around and some of the ugliest (710). Atleast their products are different.
Can't say the same about all the boring Samsung Android slabs (Bada and WP line seem to be better)

Sales how ever are RRROOCKKK BOTTTOM though,no one wants the system except a niche miniority

Pity th phone has a massively failing os due to horrendous old fashioned boring grid menu,squares which look like something off an 1980s vcr and also due to the os being massively limited in customization,apps and abilities.
We sold windows 7 phones in the network shop I work in and after several months of not selling any we got rid of the ones we had to a warehouse,The new HTC radar has arrived and after 3 weeks not one is sold yet either. Nokia was having a very though time in the smartphone sector then they teamed up with an unwanted os system,trouble indeed.

I agree with your post. Symbian-WP converts will be shocked on how much of the functionality Symbian has will be lost in WP in exchange for a smooth UI.
Also the PRICE, I hope Lumia 710 will be priced like say Xperia Mini or lower, to attract new users or people bored with Android or iOS.
Otherwise WP phones will still become a niche minority, an iOS-wannabe, expensive, limited but without thousands of ifarts.

Not really,its rim and symbian precentage base descreases which is give wp a bit of a rise,but also largely due to massively subsidised prices on wp currently in Europe to try ignite some sales

I think with this movement Microsoft and Nokia are going to suceed in gaining the third place in market share.
I forecast the following with regard to market share for the next year:
Android: 55-60%
iOS: 30-35%
Windows Phone: 10-15%

definately a step in the right direction.. now change it to Super Amoled (or SA+) and pull up the battery specs a bit more.
Concidering its a hummingbird with the battery, it should last for a while with that battery. My SGS1 had only a 1500mAh battery and i could get it to last 36 hrs on android, so we should see the same or better with this device.

I definitely did not wait 8 months for this. haha My O2X and GS2 served me well and will continue to do so until Nexus Prime or GNote arrives.
WP7.5 UI Smoothness =/= functionality
So how again will Nokia differentiate itself from the sea errr. pond of WP handsets?
Nokia deflected on Android because it wants to set itself apart from the sea of droids as Elop puts it. But we can clearly see his intentions from then, which reinforced by these announcement now.
I was really expecting a different WP handsets from Nokia, with more features and less limitations, I guess I failed.
I am excited to see the faces of Symbian-WP converts when they found out they cant transfer files/pics through Bluetooth to other non-WP handsets. LOL

Nokia will be destroy by their Elop the "Trojan Horse" by using this OS

720p recording for a phone that won't even be released until 2012 is not a true flagship.
Also, does this model use the same, Nokia, Pentaband radio for both T-Mobile AND AT&T in the US?!
22. Daniel.P posted on 26 Oct 2011, 12:22 0
No, it's quad-band for now, the US versions will be tailored to our local carriers. Nokia mentioned CDMA and LTE variants are in the works too, which ties up with the rumors about Verizon getting it...
