 For the price, well worth it - no contract to boot!
By Just Me
I'm one of those that gets a new phone every 6-8 months. I'm not loaded with money or anything (I wish!) but I always get a good deal on my new phone and sell the old one to help pay for my new one. One phone I bought is the Nokia Lumia 710 for T-Mobile, which runs Windows Phone 7.5 which is a bit different than the usual Android or iOS. My current phone is the top of line bleeding edge Samsung Galaxy S III, but I still like the Lumia 710 a lot!
All in all, I definitely recommend the Lumia 710 if you just want something different, want something simple, or are new to the smartphone world. Do keep in mind that Windows Phone 8 (this phone runs 7.5) is right around the corner and with it, all new Windows phones will come out. I'm just very pleased with the simplicity and smoothness of the Lumia 710 and Windows Phone 7.5. For the price, I don't think you can go wrong.
I copied a bit from my Epinions review of the Lumia 710, but I will add some points specific to this item on Amazon. This is advertised as "prepaid" but you can simply put your postpaid monthly plan SIM in the phone and have a contract free upgrade. Note that this uses what's called a microSIM, which is half the size of a normal SIM card - it comes in the box, so you can call T-Mobile and switch over to this new microSIM for free.
Some will say "$200 for this entry level outdated piece of junk?" -- where else are you going to find a decently loaded phone for $200 without a contract?? Don't forget that this is NO CONTRACT. Smartphones are expensive these days. T-Mobile sells this directly for $350 without a contract. Yes, Windows 8 and a new line of Lumia phones will be out soon but I'm happy with the 710 as-is. It text messages flawlessly, has a great 5MP camera w/ auto focus and flash, and is a 4G phone. Windows doesn't have as many apps as Android so don't get this if you are an app-a-holic. I'm not, so I'm fine. I just need Netflix, TuneIn streaming radio, Facebook, email etc -- all of which this Lumia does with ease.
By the way, this is the perfect 'first smartphone' for young and older folks alike. Two of my younger relatives got the Lumia, as well as my middle aged mother and aunt. They are ALL enjoying their Lumias and wouldn't dream of going back to a plain phone! I've had a smartphone for years but only this year did I convince them into getting one, and the Lumia is perfect to start with. 29 of 30 people found the following review helpful.
Best smartphone I've used
By anders123
This is an excellent phone. It is well laid out and works well as both a phone and for smartphone features. Voice quality is very good. The manufacturer of this phone is making a comeback and look forward to their new Windows phone releases. Windows marketplace is good and growing. Reliable apps and certified so you aren't downloading potential malware. I was going to wait for the Windows phone 8, but glad I got this one in the meantime.
(Previous smartphones owned: blackberry and iphone 3G. Prefer this phone to both of them.) 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful.
A Pleasant Surprise for Windows!
By Write Away Bliss
Wow the price on this really went up! I paid $199 on Amazon for this phone (it's now listed for $299). I previously owned an Android Phone (along with an ipod touch) so I'm familiar with the other platforms. I've also had a blackberry and was so grateful when Android was released.
I have to say I really LOVE the Windows platform on the phone. Typically I hate Windows. There's so much rebooting on a computer, error messages galore and just overall trouble. To be quite blunt, I've had none of that with my Windows phone and there's so much integration that's better than Android.
For example when I make a call, it's easy and the screen goes dark, no problem. You want to hang up, all you do is move your phone away from you ear. The movement lights it back up. No pushing the power button to get it to light up. No sliding your finger to end the call. Just hit the button. It's user intuitive and user friendly. This is one of my big gripes with Android. Hanging up a call can take a long time if your phone is finicky! I also use Windows Live Mail all the time. My calendar is therefore suddenly integrated into my phone! I don't know why Android never made an app. I know I could use Google calendar but again it's an extra step I don't need when my calendar is always with my email program.
Nokia also offers Nokia Drive for free. So if you're opting for Windows phone but deciding between the Nokia & HTC, if you have any intention of using GPS at all, get Nokia because it's FREE. The phone is also super fast (faster than my previous Android). It's 4G so the internet is fast as well. So far it's had all the apps I previously used for free. Amazon, eBay, Key Ring, Shazam. It also offers SkyDrive so you can store some music, pictures, etc and access it anytime when you have a phone signal.
I also love the Facebook integration. I can pull up my Facebook photo galleries! It's on the main page of my phone. I can integrate any email account (including gmail). Adobe reader (pdfs) look great! Reception is good. You can use Ringtone Maker to create your own ringtone (you have to use a computer along with your phone).
You will want to play with the settings because once you set up Facebook all your contacts are added and let's face it, some people on Facebook I really don't want to call or contact, they're "old friends." No problem! You can turn off Facebook contacts in your phone book.
I give it 5 stars!
