Nokia Lumia 710 @ 15.7K

Nokia Lumia 710: Price in India, Reviews, Specification: Flipkart.com

:O
Rs.3000 Price Drop! At this price it offers Nokia reliability , Windows Phone 7.5 and a good SoC! The Display is quite good too!

I think they have reduced the prices of the Lumia duo so that they can release their new flagship phone, the Lumia 900 at the Rs. 30K Mark.
On the USA eBay website you can get the Lumia 710 for 13.5K and the 800 for 25K (Approx.)

Great price...u get nice specs for that price ...and also the smoothness of WP 7.5

Looks we have good phone in a range of 15k that we can suggest to Nokia fanboys

But from the pics it seems that it has got ugly looks

^I wouldn't say its ugly because its design is more like C7 which most of us liked.
But definitely good pricing from Nokia.

Now its time for a price drop for Lumia 800 to less than 25k...

Yes, absolutely.
That will be the ideal price.

Sent from Galaxy S2

Yes. The price is great. I think we can recommend it at this budget :?:

I'm really considering WP over Android. I know Android 4.0 is great and all, but I need a phone for work, and Social Networking integration is a top notch priority, along with mails, and a smooth, elegant interface, which WP delivers flawlessly.

If Lumia 710 has hit 15.7k now, and I'm planning to buy a phone in 5 months, say June-July, I think the 15k segment will get heated up with great WP(TANGO updated) phones as well as Android 4.0 phones.

Would get really hard to decide then.

at least you don't have to wait months & months for an update. moreover once they (mobile manufacturers) skin it, Android 2.2, 2.3, 4.0 all will look the same. and then worry about locked bootloader, removing the bloatwares.

S

I must say that this is a great deal. Where I'll be able to find Nokia Lumia 710 at 15.7k? Please let me know as soon as possible

Omnia W anyday............
AMOLED VS TFT
Secondary Camera VS NO Secondary Camera
Better Desing VS Bad Design

It's only good deal for fan boys,though O W priced slightly higher,it's better then 710.

Yes. But tech specs and price alone do not contribute to decision making. We should consider all 3 aspects, Specs + Price + App eco system.

Great pricing. Now it's become an extremely good buy.

he is comparing a WP7 mobile with another WP7 mobile. there should be no question about eco system. both are priced same & Samsung packed their with a Super Amoled screen. moreover WP710 looks bad (compared to its big daddy 800).

Rightly answered by SAM

On the other note Lumia 800 should be reduced further about 27k at-least then Nokia will gain market share since the only competition at above 21k is HTC Radar which will be pawned by Lumia 800.........

A

1.4 Ghz processor, 720 P Video Recording, 3.7 inch display is awesome for 15K.

710s Camera does seem to disappoint as compared to Omnia Ws

the screen on the lumia has deeper blacks, so you can't say its bad. The amoled screens are not as sharp...
its got Nokia maps , free navigation as well... Not sure why you say bad design as it don't look that bad... But the O W does have the battery advantage ..

You can get the lumia for around 14.7k at saholic if you don't want to get it from sulekha..
Not sure of saholic though..never used it myself..

Lumia 710 looks like the entry level Nokia phones esp the back side,doesn't look like a premium device for it's price,but as you said 'Nokia Drive' is keeping many people on dilemma whether to go for O W or 710.Maybe i will consider WP once Apollo gonna release.
P.S

roud owner of Optimus One FYI

One of my classmate bought a Nokia 701 yesterday for 18K. I asked him why did he not considered lumia 710, he said he does not know anything about such phone. pity.

Why pity them?
Actually most of them are happier than us.

S

I think Nokia 701 is better than Lumia 710 :-
710 lacks
1. front camera
2. bluetooth files transfer
3. microsd card slot
and
*It has single camera flash, less f number (2.4 than 2.8 of 701). I dont think auto focus/touch focus do much good than fixed edof of 701.
*701 has better video codec support. 710 cant play xvid/divx.
*It is hard to transfer my music from pc to lumia 710.( only via cloud space?)

Mango is newer and has more bugs than belle.
also upgrade to carla will be should be interesting.

P.S: Proud owner of Optimus One FYI

they aint charging a premium price, so why ask for a premium finish?

thats the thing, when they do give a great quality finish at a premium price - lumia 800 - people complain that hardware ain't up to the mark.

Btw, Nokia Drive works only in online mode - suxs!

Yea man, have fun with the O1, great phone

What are the pros?
better hardware
better UI (IMO only)
If you are a social network freak, you will totally love it.
Also, could not find any real bugs in the OS...nothing ever gone wrong...
But one thing that is killing me, is that there is no skype for w7

out of first three, only front camera issue is worth considering, but not for me. talking about bluetooth file transfer, it is not even available in iphone 4

(don't know about 4s). And internal memory provides enough storage(At least for me).
And for 2.5K cheaper, you get WP 7.5 much better than Belle, a brilliant UI, a much powerful processor, better display than 701.
701 is a good phone no doubt but not so good to spend 18K for that.

Actually, "pity" was not for 701 owners but for my friend who did not even bothered to inquire about his options for spending 18K on, which I do even when buying a pen ;-)

. Don't you think???

And who specifically does "us" points to

??

Front camera is not used by a bulk of people . It's been there for years. No one bothers with it. But yes it is useful at times

As a mirror 90%

Rarely some niche group uses it for Skype

Video calling...umm...at 30rs p min I don't think it's that great. I have personal experience with it for 25 seconds.

utkarsh73 said:

android mobile users.

@Sarath With faster internet connections, Skype and Google hangout on every phone, I bet a lot more people would be using front facing cameras in the near future...

Can i use Lumia 710 as modem for internet on pc?

R

you can easily tether your 3g or whatever internet you got...but not sure about using it as a modem like you can easily do on other older phones...

Thanks for the reply.
But can u be more clear plz.
Tethering via cable, bluetooth or Wi-Fi?
As far i know, only desktop app for Lumia 710, Zune supports only media files sync. So i can't use a cable.
I heard that lumia does not pair with Pc via bluetooth - is it true?
Do i have to buy Wi-Fi for my pc to use 3g internet of lumia?

And also some says lumia may not support tethering [wpxbox.com coolsmartphone.com *pocketnow.com]

Your advices would be very helpful as i am planning to buy my first smart phone (15~17k).
Thanks again.

R

you can tether via wifi only...you cant pair up the PC with the phone via Bluetooth...

also, since you can only connect the phone to the PC via Zune, I dont think you can share internet, at least zune will not let you. Not sure if there is another way, I have not played much with the phone, gifted it to dad...

The lesser the better buddy... the N8 has 1.8 i think...

The focus is like 1/2.4 and 1/2.8 and so on... the thing with the autofocus on the 710 is that you can see it struggle to get a focus, the N8 is way better in that respect (I just had the N8 and the 710 at the same point of time to compare, so dont know about other phones)

S

Ok, i got it.
Thanks.

K

bought this ph. @ 15.5k rs.
m jsz luvin it. :))

. . strange.. cant send files over the bluetooth? :O
any soln?

^^Windows Phone 7.5 doesn't support file transfer over bluetooth. So it's basically the OS which lacks the feature.

N

@siddhipatel

You can get a good deal for Nokai Lumia 710 at Sulekha deals. Someone i know got it for 14249.......

I was in the dilemma of getting either the Omnia W, or Lumia 710. Finally settled for Omnia W because of SAMOLED, and better, sleeker looks (according to me). Got the Omnia for 15.8k from eBay. That is a great price.

However, Lumia has Nokia Drive, which is great. Also the video capture is better on the Lumia.

dont know abt video but image capture of omnia w is definitely better than lumia 710

D

samsung omnia w gets a price cut
now its 15200 at flipkart

Samsung Omnia W I8350: Price in India, Reviews, Specification: Flipkart.com

at flipkart prices are
nokia lumia 710=Rs. 15499
samsung omnia w= Rs 15200 :razz:

^^ Ugh. Just 2 days after I bought it.

Now with the price cut Omnia W will beat the 710

S

hhmmm..
may be the map on lumia 710 is better than omnia w?
any other comparison?

R

nah the maps aint anything great...there are plenty of free maps on the market..

it depends on your usage, if you use gps, go for nokia , as nokia drive is much better

otherwise the omnia gives you superamoled but omnia does not have a gorilla glass, where as lumia 710 does

Omnia W does have Gorilla Glass...

*www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/full-products-list

Oh it does... I didn't know that. The Samsung guys told me it does not

I used to believe that too. But then I got this link somewhere. And btw, for the GPS Navigation, I installed gMaps (Free edition) and it does everything (apart from voice-guided navigation). There are plenty of other apps for that too. So am not really missing out on too much that Nokia has to offer.

I believe Omnia W should be preferred because of the gorgeous Super AMOLED, better battery, and better looks.

Yesterday, I tried to upload a video taken on Samsung Focus (WP 7.5) directly to Youtube... but failed. No way to do that...

No way to attach videos to emails either...

No way to upload videos to Facebook or Whatsapp messenger...

Big problems with WP7. Hope the next update (Apollo, Tango) might make this OS more usable...

There is a custom rom released for focus and earlier omnia, awesomeness is that supports both the android and ios apps but the customization is limited unlike the android,things are really heating for wp7,competition really started between mobile is,let's watch who emerges as winner,

wow!!! i am gonna get lumia 800 now

Until apollo doesn't comes wp7 phone buying is crime from my opinion.
Andro is the way to go till then..

Well, for a moment I also thought of getting Lumia 800 before, and after this price cut, I was sure I'll be getting this one..!!

But one thing that strikes me, isn't Samsung Omnia W better than Lumia 800..?? This 23k phone doesn't have the Front Cam

But other than that, ofcourse it looks better with slight bigger screen. But otherwise both the phone's specs are almost same.

What do you say guys..??

krishnandu.sarkar said:

wait for Sony Xperia P & U. Yes, both will be priced higher than 800 but worth it.

bigger screen !!! Ominia W vs Lumia 800. Both have same screen size. same resolution. everything same except camera and internal memory. Though Lumia 800 looks better. B

Sam said:

both without external card slot are going to Fail IMO..

Xperia P is still ok with 13GB but Xperia U just 4 Gb ~~- os Used..~~

IMO xperia P at best should be at same price lumia 800

xperia U should be between 15-20K

why without external card should be a fail? in that case iphone would have been a epic fail.

Well for first Memory is not only reason..but it is very important reason, to store songs, high quality videos(according to resolution) and even sizes of Images will be very heavy..

iphone has good amount of memory..as well as xperia P (as I also said it is ok) but xperia U with just total 4 Gb memory.. with that resolution .. I have nokia 5235 I use 4GB card and can use 8 Gb very easily.. with that resolution minimum 16GB user usable memory is needed.

1300mah battery is ok if it can deliver 1 full day backup.

clmlbx said:

4Gb will be available to user or part of it will be sacrifice for OS also? just checked a few sites and they report total internal memory should be 8Gb while only 4Gb is available for use. this is ridiculous. even if it is priced at 15k, most will go for alternates for such low internal memory and those who don't will complain & swear their whole life.

With a 900 nits display and a dual core processor, I seriously doubt it. Even the sony claimed talk time is somewhere around 6 hrs. I would be surprised if they sell it for under 25k.

absolutely, Gsm showed just 4Gb so thought 4Gb minus os used, but later cleared after checking SE site.. it is total 8 Gb and in which 4Gb is available.

I don't think it can deliver even one Day with good usage it has such a good screen(size,WhiteMagic technology)

only phone looking in SE would be xperia S and ion at high End

U r right. But putting a 10.6 mm thick phone with 4.2" screen in my jean pocket! Don't think it would be comfortable. I should try it though.

In that case I better go for Samsung Omnia W. Why invest in such a phone which lacks than it's cheaper alternative

I can compromise and live with the looks

^^ so you are going for a WP. strange. Can i ask why? Maybe cause you haven't tested ICS yet.

A

i own omnia w i dont invest lot money coz was in doubt of windows phone
just hoping that wp 8 will available on all old phone or i just switch to android next year

Still not good enough, I am a nokia fanboy but even I won't buy this over defy+.

Sam said:
^^ so you are going for a WP. strange. Can i ask why? Maybe cause you haven't tested ICS yet.

Well, I'm thinking of moving to WP. But I'm not doing it right now.

I'm still paying my new PC Installments..!! I can only think of a new phone after all the installments get cleared.

Well, reason is UI..!! Nothing else. I know it lacks the basic Bluetooth File Transfer feature of a smartphone. But the UI is really awesome.

Well, even if I get into ICS, the thing is Android is now old for me. And I want to try that metro UI..!!

Anyway nothing decided yet..!! For now I'm sticking to my P500 and getting bored with it..!! Nothing new to do with it

lol

^^Exactly the same reason for which I got the Omnia W.

@ want to buy new phone because bored with current UI.

metro UI is sexy but OS has less functionality
i prefer wp because i m tried of android os upgrade and need some different OS

I know re.. But u can check the price on clove.
Everything is same as lumia 800 except front cam-bigger screen

It should be priced some where around 25k. Else nokia wont be able to survive the competition in india. IMO lumia 800 at 23k is still overpriced. Omnia is having the same config along the advantage of front cam, sells for 15k. No one would just pay 8k for looks.

i would like some comparison with wp and symbion (belle?).
eg--> OTG ,codec support, effiicient pc connectivity - etc of symbion. what you people think of these?

You might not pay 8k for the looks and cam, but I would.
