Nokia Lumia 710 Sim Free Windows Phone - Black

-Lumia 710 is just beautiful, both the phone and operating system.Before I bought this phone I already knew that Windows Phone 7.5 was really nice, but after I tryed it with my own hands, I realized that is so much better than Android and even iOS!This OS is very simple and easy, but it has all the stuff you need without too much confusion that other operative systems have. And what amazes me is how good the apps look on this phone; compared to other phones, the applications here are just amazing on the design level.The phone is also great, much better than I thought (for the money I payed). The quality build is great, the glass is the best there is (Corning Gorilla Glass)and touch responds super fast, and generally, it is without a doubt better than the touch response on most Android or even iOS.The only thing on this phone that I think it could be better is the back speaker. The speaker although loud and clear, is a thin gap located on the back of the phone, and if you place your finger above it, the sound is completely stuffed.Although you might think that Windows Phone has few apps, I believe that 90% of users will find every app they are looking for, there is a lot variety of apps although in few number.I don't get tired of saying the this phone is just beatiful, because it is, and you will notice a big difference if you already had an Andriod or iOS, this phone is just so much better is every level (except if you are a hardcore user looking for tons of apps and customization).INPORTANT NOTE: The phone comes with an extra Blue Back Cover in addition to the Black one.(Which is awesome!)-Very personal opinion:I'm going to compare Lumia 710 with an iPhone just so you can see that this phone is a BARGAIN.I've tried an iPhone and it's a great phone, but if you think clearly with all aspects into consideration you will see that the iPhone 4S is just not worthy right now.iPhone 4S: Dual Core @800MHzLumia 710: Single core @1400MhziPhone 4S: 3.5 inches (960 x 640)Lumia 710: 3.7inches (800x480)iPhone 4S: 8MP CameraLumia 710: 5MP CameraiPhone 4S: 500£Lumia 710: 160£So, on the CPU level there is no big difference, because although iPhone has a dual core it has a frequency of 800Mhz and the Lumia is single core but with much higher frequency.The screen on the iPhone is a bit smaller with better resolution, in my eyes there is no difference between the two screens, and I've compared them side by side.The camera is clearly better on iPhone, although to me 5MP is just enough to take a pictures from time to time.If you still think iPhone is worth 340£ more than this phone, fine buy it, but in my opinon it's clearly not worthy. And before you buy an iPhone check out Lumia 800 or Lumia 900, these two are clearly better phones than iPhone and a bit cheaper.-You won't regret buying this phone!

This phone is really simple to use; I love Nokia music (same as listening to the radio) and Nokia drive (this gps is great!). The only two things that annoy me are 1. the mute button -too close to ear when you talk, so that it gets pressed a lot without me knowing...2. battery life is poor but then I never had another smartphone so can't really compare

Not a bad phone when you eventually covert the language from Italian to UK that took a bit of doing. Then there is the charging issue this phone comes with a two pin charger no good for UK plug sockets. The camera is not great but just does the job. The phone itself is good as a second phone (work phone) only used for calls.

I mean no exaggeration when I say this phone is a waste of time and money. Ever since I got this phone, I have had nothing but problems with it.The touch interface feels stiff, there's lag when tapping certain icons and the final straw for me was when merely ringing another phone was too much for it to handle. That wasn't even a one off either, I have had several moments where I'm talking away to somebody when all of a sudden "ZZZUAAAAANG!! Gone! No more talking for you!!"It's a real shame as well because the Windows OS for it was sublime. It was easy to use and being able to connect to Skydrive was a great bonus for my college work.But the phone itself has terrible RAM to the point where simple tasks a phone is supposed to be designed to do is too hard for it to handle. This really effected the clock. You know your hardware is poorly implemented when it can't even keep the simple task of timekeeping accurate.Don't buy this phone, you'd be better spending that money on a huge pile of cornettos (Mint flavoured preferably). Trust me, it would be a more satisfying use of resources.

What a shame! I have been pretty brand-loyal to Nokia (and this is coming from someone who despises brand-loyalty) due to consistent and excellent quality. The quality of the manufacture of this phone is not an issue, either, although the lack of micro-sd slot is annoying. The problem with this phone is that Nokia has sold out to Microsoft.Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 is infuriating. Everything has to be managed through the apps on the phone (Microsoft approved apps I might add, as at the moment these must be installed via Microsoft's marketplace) and through the Zune software on your computer. God knows what you do if you haven't got a M$ OS installed on your pc/laptop - I guess you just go without music and video and never sync the thing! Don't get me wrong, I have used Windows CE, and though it wasn't amazing, you could at least browse through the files on your own device-this piece of junk OS doesn't even have a file browser!If Nokia want to go out if business this badly I suggest they continue to sell their souls to Microsoft and install WP7 on all of their new and upcoming phones - perhaps just give them away then for free, and then tell all the shareholders to go and take a running jump ;-)The only thing, IMHO, that could possibly save the Lumia at this point, is for Nokia to switch to Android or back to ol-faithful-Symbian.
