Nokia Lumia 710 Unlocked GSM Touchscreen Phone with Windows 7.5 OS, 5MP Camera, GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth - White

My Wife loved her old flip phone, but it finally died. I talked her into this phone as it works with her prepaid account on T-Mobile, and she can use Wi-Fi for data, She really likes it, it is easy to use and just works. She tried an android phone a while back and did not like it. Nokia generally makes good phones.Note that it takes the newer micro SIM chip. You may need to buy one like we did. Activation was easy, however, a 5 minute call to T-Mobile support and we were done.The phone also has 8 GB of memory and there is no slot to add more. This is not a problem for her, she has not even used half the memory with several apps/games, some pictures, and some music.

The phone was clearly labeled as UNLOCKED. That's why I bought it. Only to discover it was LOCKED to T-Mobile. I eventually got it unlocked 2 weeks and $25 later, but I was disappointed in the deception. Other than that, the phone is a decent one.

The screen is beautiful. People asked about what kind of phone I have a lot of times when they saw my phone. Fast touch responses. Wonderful WiFi, I can use Xfinity WiFi free almost everywhere since I have Comcast internet at home. It's a Windows phone so you need to get use to it. Lots of free apps, and games. I play Shuffle party all the time when I am on a bus or train. Wonderful functions, and it's much cheaper than iPhone or Samsung android phones. I am very happy about it.

Great deal for the price. Negative aspects of this model are:+ battery duration (aprox 1-1.5 days with light use)+ has windows phone 7 (not 8) which requires syncronization through zune software (not possible with windows file explorer)+ not possible to choose size of fonts (windows phone 7 lacks this feature) and size might be small for people with eye difficulties

i got this phone last year. it a nice basic touch phone, well made. i got it for my mother. she leaves in europe. after she got back in europe after 4 months the phone stopped working. she try d to repair it by taking it to a phone repair shop. nu success. it seems there s a shot circuit on the main board that drains the battery in minutes.

I wanted a smartphone that was user friendly. After having tried my friends and fiancee phones (iphones, Samsung Galaxy, etc.) I have decided that neither of them was what I wanted. I wanted something extremely intuitive and, possibly, very reliable. After reading plenty of reviews online I decided that, based on my parameters, a Nokia Windows Phone would have been the best fit.I badly wanted to buy the Nokia 920, but it works only with AT&T which is far from being a decent company from my point of view (one of the worst customer services I have ever experienced and expensive plans). Hence, I decided to try the `smaller brother' of Nokia 920, as a temporary phone while waiting for my provider to sell an excellent Nokia Windows 8 Phone.I have to admit I was a little bit worried because the Nokia 710 still runs with Windows 7 (version 7.8 after the first update), but I was fairly impressed with man things.Let's make it clear, this is not a phone to compare with the last i-phone or the Samsung Note. In its class of phones, this item is very good. In absolute value, it's a not-bad phone, but I would give it probably 6.5 out of 10.The reasons?Well, the Windows 7 system is somehow the opposite of the laptop Windows 7 system: it gives no problems at all. Never frozen, never had any single problem. The `tile' view is very appealing and intuitive and I like the way one can personalize them. The menu and the design of the system in general makes it very easy to use, even to a first-time smartphone user like my mother.The not-so-good news are the following:1)the battery lasts slightly less than it should. With a couple of hours of conversation, some text messaging and minor searches on the web, the battery last about 2 full days IF one checks the 'save the battery option'. Without this option selected, it lasts only 1 full day.Even worst, once in a while (approx 1 day per week), for no apparent reasons, the battery lasts half than it should, even with the battery saver on.Even worst, if I keep the wi-fi on, and I use the phone as I mentioned before (light use: 2 hours of conversation, text messaging, a few searches online) the battery lasts approx 12 hours.So battery is one of the weak points. On the other hand, very few smartphones lasts really long, and they are usually 3 times more expensive than this one, which takes less than 2 hours to recharge.2) the quality of the call is fairly low. My fiancee complained several times that if keep the phone on my shoulder (while I do other things) and talk to her, she does not understand a word. None of my previous phones gave me this problem. She said that, in general, my voice comes out harder to understand and more robotic than my previous phones.3) The camera is decent, but pictures often come out with colors that are far from the actual ones. Again, I did not buy the phone for the camera (I already knew it was not going to be good), but from time to time it is useful to have a camera handy to take a picture of something, and I would say that this camera is low quality.As another important pro, it is almost impossible to destroy the phone (like every other Nokia I have tried). A friend of mine, in front of me kicked his Nokia 710 against the wall. I told him he must be crazy, but he said that this phone is simply impossible to destroy. So, he kicked the Nokia against the wall, the Nokia split into a number of pieces that he collected back, put them back together and then tried to start the phone again. I would not believe it: it was working like nothing happened to it!Other pros are Nokia Maps (amazing!) and Driving system. I was impressed, and I appreciated that I could just download the maps and then use them whenever I wanted without need of having internet connection (useful when you get lost in the middle of nowhere and there is very poor connection to use the GPS.I cannot tell that much about the music, because I did not use it very much so far, but I used to have a Zone and I liked their system a lot.All in all, the phone is definitely a good value for the money, but it's not a good buy if you want a phone where everything is perfect. This is a good phone with more pros than cons, nevertheless, there are cons that you may need to consider before buying it. For my needs, this phone works very well, and if it were not for the battery life and the quality of the call I would give it 5 out of 5.

Great phone for a great price. This phone has most of the latest features and is really fast. Although it lacks certain apps the look, feel, and performance would give other phones in its price range a run for their money.

I ordered this phone because of the reasonable price and the wonderful reviews that it has received by others on Amazon and on the T-mobile web site. The phone arrived as promised in excellent condition. I was a little up set at first because you can't put a SD memory card in BUT the phone's storage is enough to hold all of my music and pictures with no problem. I did have to get my SIM card cut because this phone takes a micro SIM card and my previous phone had a Macro SIM card. All in all, this is a excellent phone, I LOVE IT and would recommend it to anyone.
