Summary: Nokia ready to launch the Lumia 710 on T-Mobile next week and I have a demo unit to check out for a while that I am comparing to the HTC Radar 4G.
It has been over a year since I bought my HTC HD7 from T-Mobile when Windows Phone 7 launched in November 2010. We have seen some great new Mango-powered devices launched on AT&T and I have been envious of those customers. The HTC Radar 4G launched in late October and is a decent device, but I was looking to check out a Nokia Windows Phone. Nokia announced the Lumia 710 at Nokia World and next week we will see it appear on T-Mobile USA for $49.99.
An evaluation unit arrived yesterday and I have spent several hours using the Lumia 710 and comparing it to the HTC Radar 4G and Dell Venue Pro. It might not be the high end device phone geeks are looking for, but it is fast and speedy with decent specifications. You can check out a few photos of the Nokia Lumia 710 in my image gallery.
Specifications
Specifications for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus include the following:
- 3.7 inch ClearBlack display at 800×480 pixels resolution with Corning Gorilla Glass
- 1.4GHz Qualcomm MSM8255 single core processor
- Windows Phone 7.5 Mango
- HSPA+ 14.4Mbps
- 8GB internal memory, no microSD slot
- 512MB RAM
- 5 megapixel camera with LED flash and 720p video recording capability
- Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, and compass
- 1300mAh battery
- Dimensions: 4.69 x 2.46 x 0.49 inches and 4.4 ounces
As you can see these specifications are improved over the original T-Mobile Windows Phone device, the HTC HD7, but are not as high end as the HTC Titan or Samsung Focus S. For $50 though, $350 with no contract, this is a pretty compelling product.
