Nokia has just announced the Nokia Lumia 710 which is a more affordable version of the Nokia Lumia 800. And of course there are some hardware limitations in this. But at this price point of 270 Euros its still a good bargain. • Networks: WCDMA 900/1900/2100, GSM/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 • Speed: HSDPA cat 10: 14.4 Mbps, HSUPA 5.76 Mbps • Display: 3.7″ WVGA ClearBlack TFT with curved glass • Processor: 1.4GHz single core, same as the Lumia 800 • Memory: 512MB RAM, 8GB internal storage • Camera: 5MP autofocus with LED flash, face detection and 4x digital zoom, 720p video at 30fps • Battery: 1300 mAh • OS: Windows Phone 7.5 Mango with Nokia Drive and Nokia Music
So what did they cut?? The Lumia 800 has an AMOLED screen, 16GB storage and an 8MP Carl Zeiss camera and costs around 420 Euros. The 710 gets a TFT, half the storage and a 5MP shooter, but processor and RAM are the same so Mango should run just as smooth. Nokia calls it a “no-nonsense” smartphone and the fun part is the changeable back covers in black, white, cyan, fuchsia and yellow to match your tile colours.
Good news for us, India is in the second wave along with Hong Kong, Russia, Singapore and Taiwan towards the end of this year, after Europe gets it in November. More countries in early 2012. We’ll post a hands on as soon as we get one, so stay tuned.
