Nokia Lumia 710 starts shipping today

Nokia Lumia 710 is the second Windows Phone 7 from the Finnish mobile phone maker. The Lumia 710 will start selling in Taiwan today and in stores in Singapore, Hong Kong, India and Russia the within a week. Nokia 710 expected retail price is 270 Euro which is very cheap for a Windows Phone 7 smartphone.

Both the more expensive Lumia 800 and the Lumia 710 are powered by a 1.4 GHz processor and both phones has a 3.7 inch touch display. Where the Nokia 800 has inherited the nice form factor from the Nokia N9, Lumia 710 looks more like an entry-level smartphone.

To cut the price down to 270 Euro, Nokia has made some sacrifices. Lumia 710 has ClearBlack display technology but does not have a AMOLED display. As usual, Nokia offers many colour variants for their mass market models. The Lumia 710 is no exception and you can buy it with either black or white front and with the following back covers: fuchsia (red), black, yellow, white, cyan.
