Nokia Lumia 710 for T-Mobile hands-on
Share:
Grabbing a hold of the Nokia Lumia 710 once again, there’s nothing different on the design front with T-Mobile’s version – though, it’s obviously brandishing some of T-Mobile’s logos. For a device that’s constructed entirely out of plastic, it has a sturdy feel to it – thanks to its soft touch rear cover. Still, we do like that it’s extremely lightweight and comfortable to hold in the hand.

Peeking at the device, one of the first things to capture our attention is its 3.7” WVGA ClearBlack display, which enthralls us with its deep black production and punchy colors. Under the hood, its 1.4GHz single-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor shows its might by providing that fluid execution that we’re constantly accustomed to seeing with most Windows Phone Mango devices.

Clearly, it’s nice to see Nokia bringing it big to the US scene once again, though, the Nokia Lumia 710 doesn’t quite have the same effect as something like the Lumia 800. Nevertheless, it’s a good start for this once flourishing handset manufacturer, but at least its pricing will make it an attractive option for those looking to dive into a device running Microsoft’s mobile platform.

Not high end, but maybe a better option than the Radar?

No front facing camera buddy, therefore this phone can do less than what the Radar 4g is already capable of not to mention in my opinion the Radar looks better. This is just another Windows Phone wrapped in another casing unfortunately.

On the other hand, Lumia 710 has faster CPU than Radar (1.4 GHz vs 1.0 GHz)

The phone isn't bad but I don't like the location of the charge port being on the top.

No ffc. Second generation phone with first generation specs unfortunately.

It doesn't really matter who uses them and people do by the way. Also the more ffc become available on every phone, people will use them more. Even if you never use the cruise control in your car, it should be AVAILABLE. That's the point.

I do! People do use it.. I love using the ffc on my GS2 for skyping and it really is awesome when you are on the move

folks if this thing normally cost 50 bucks on contract and I believe less than 380 dollars
off contact than wow a lot people can now afford a windows smart phone and get rid of their old feature cell phone. Nokia may have a winner here that can help people who do not want to spend 500 dollars plus for smart phone to at last get a smart phone. it may not be as high end as some smart phones but damn the price is right baby

Jan. 11th, 2012? Holiday season over. Will not sell well against the better, HTC Radar. Hey $50 more, you get more.

He did say front facing camera. I thought it did not come with one. Care to elaborate, phonearena?

apparently the tmobile site shows this phone doesnt have front facing cam so the radar built better and has front cam . although this phone should be faster and i havent seen camera pics that it takes so is it worth the wait will have to see which phone really better
