Overall, I'm a fan of Windows Phone 7 (WP7). I had an HTC HD7 for a while but the Bluetooth died on it. Not wanting to use my upgrade yet, I went to eBay to find a cheap replacement. This phone is, to me, superior to the HD7 in every way except 8 GB storage instead of 16 and the side-buttons are not as easy to use. This is also my first Nokia phone is about 8 years. The last one was a standard cell phone with a QWERTY keyboard. This is quite the upgrade. The Nokia specific apps are also, in my opinion, significantly better than the HTC specific apps available on WP7. After the Windows Phone 8 phones start coming out I might use an upgrade. At that point, I'll go and sell that phone right back into eBay. I hope someone enjoys it like I do.
I guess I'm a lagger having kept my family on 2 flips and a slider for so many years. Now with the really cheap data plans, it made sense to get some smartphones. I didn’t want to sign any new contracts, so I bought three of these used Lumia 710’s at a great price. The family is happy with the options, quality and functionality. I’m sure that the cutting-edge group will scoff at the idea of buying technology that is a couple years old, but that’s how this thrifty guy rolls.
I upgraded from the HTC HD7 windows phone and this is a big improvement! The only problem is the low battery life. Aside from the battery life being very short it is very user friendly, easy to navigate through all of your apps, and can even multi-task. It also comes with a nice GPS app called Nokia drive wich gives you traffic updates, speed limit warning as well as other features for free! Bonus: it can even control your XBOX-if you're into that-
my experience with it, is a phone very fast, very easy to use more than Android Phone, the interface is so cute and clean. Very fast to browse in internet, very fast to install app from market place. I thing the pictures from camera can be better, but its fine to take pics. With the music the zune library is good. The sync with pc interface can be more easy, its some difficult to install pc interface and move files from pc to phone. In overall, its a great phone, in relation price is very good, nice phone whit basic functions.
The first thing you notice when comparing the Nokia Lumia 710 with its older mobile phone sibling is that the Nokia Lumia 710 looks and feels cheaper. And it is. Where the Nokia Lumia 800 SIM-free price is around £430, the Nokia Lumia 710 is expected to cost a somewhat more economical £300.The reason the Nokia Lumia 710 feels like a cheaper handset is partly down to the weight, coming in at a sprightly 125.5g against the Nokia Lumia 800's 142g. On paper this seems like a good thing, but the smartphone is too light somehow, making it feel unsubstantial compared to its bigger brother.In addition to this, the Nokia Lumia 710 screen is recessed slightly, and the transition from the front face of the phone to the sides feels quite angular. The result of this styling is that the phone design doesn't look or feel as coherent as the Nokia Lumia 800.Also we found the separate physical buttons for Back, Home and Search on the Nokia Lumia 710 look and feel cheaper than the integral styling on the Nokia Lumia 800, and we caught the bottom left of the screen when going to press the Back button a number of times.One major advantage over the Nokia Lumia 800 is that the rear cover is removable, since the Nokia Lumia 710 comes with a replaceable battery. Based on the battery life of the Nokia Lumia 800, the ability to carry a spare battery and swap out may well prove extremely useful.With the Nokia Lumia 710, Nokia has returned to the days of the changeable covers - rear at least - to further personalise your mobile phone. Although we're all for changeable covers and phone personalisation, removing the cover feels like something we should be doing as little as possible when we saw the exposed pads onto which the side buttons press.Although phones with changeable covers are more commonly marketed at younger users, the only available payment method for Vodafone and T-Mobile customers is by credit card, which many won't have. This seems odd since Microsoft enabled PayPal as a payment method on the Xbox 360 late last year, and those transitioning from Symbian handsets are used to having the option to pay via their phone bill.It seems that at present, if you are interested in buying a Windows Phone, then you're best off with Orange, which is supporting pay via phone bill with Microsoft.When we compared the size of the Nokia Lumia 710 (119 x 62.4 x 12.48mm) with the Nokia Lumia 800 (116.5 x 61.2 x 12.1mm), we were surprised to find it was the larger of the two. The only reason we could find for this was the extra mechanics required for a removable cover and replaceable battery in the Nokia Lumia 710.The Nokia Lumia 710 and Nokia Lumia 800 share the same screen size (3.7 inches) and resolution (480 x 800p), although the Nokia Lumia 710 is limited to a ClearBlack TFT compared to the ClearBlack AMOLED on the Nokia Lumia 800.They also both use Gorilla Glass, making them somewhat bomb-proof. The similarities continue to the processor, with both phones using the 1.4GHz single-core Qualcomm MSM8255T Scorpion/Snapdragon chip.Outside of the Nokia stable of handsets, the Lumia 710 is similar to the HTC Radar, which is 11.5g heavier, at 137g, although similarly sized, measuring 120.5 x 61.5 x 10.9mm.Both phones have a 5MP camera and 8GB of internal memory. But the HTC Radar has a slightly larger 3.8-inch screen and a substantially lower powered processor - a 1GHz single-core Qualcomm MSM8255 Scorpion/Snapdragon.Read full review
