Nokia Lumia 710 is a Windows Phone 7 smartphone.[5] Its release is part of a change in company's direction which has resulted in a shift from Symbian platform towards Windows Phone for smartphones. While the Nokia Lumia 800 and Lumia 900 target the high-end of the smartphone marketplace, the Lumia 610 and Lumia 710 are aimed at the mid-range price point.[6] This generation of Lumia phones ship with Windows Phone 7.5 "Mango". Its design is almost the same as the Symbian Nokia 603, announced just over a week earlier.[7][8]

It has been released in Brazil and some Western European and Asian countries.[9] On 14 December 2011, T-Mobile and Nokia officially announced their plan to sell the Lumia 710 from 11 January 2012, for $349.99 prepaid or $49.99 with a 2-year contract with minimum of $60 per month plan and $35 per line activation fee.[10] At CES 2012, Nokia announced that Rogers would have exclusivity for the Lumia 710 in Canada.[11] The phone, alongside the Nokia Lumia 800, is promised to get an update to add wi-fi hotspot capabilities.[12]

Reception

The Lumia 710 received mixed reviews, with some critics describing it as an affordable "entry-level" smartphone.[17] CNET gave the phone 3.5 stars out of 5 and said that the 710, "has a smooth and engaging user interface, satisfying photo quality, and 720p HD video, all in a compact and affordable package." CNET UK said, "For a mid-range smart phone, the Nokia Lumia 710 has loads to offer -- it's well built, runs on easy-to-use Windows Phone, and comes with free music, sat-nav and mapping apps."

Some reviewers noted problems with the phone. The device had an issue with disconnecting calls, however, Nokia addressed the problem with a software update.[18][19] TechRadar said the phone has a poor battery life.[20] PC World said that "The Lumia 710's photos were mediocre."[21] According to TechSpot, "The Lumia 710's button problems don't end with the front of the phone, as the volume rocker and camera key on the right edge are very mushy and don't provide much feedback. The camera key, in particular, is quite hard to use, as it is very difficult to determine when you have pushed it down completely."[22]
