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

aroraanant · 22-01-2012, 02:03 AM

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

Terabyte · 22-01-2012, 08:18 AM

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

AndroidFan · 22-01-2012, 10:35 AM

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

red dragon · 22-01-2012, 11:00 AM

Yes, absolutely.
That will be the ideal price.

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

comp@ddict · 22-01-2012, 02:55 PM

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.

24-01-2012, 11:06 AM

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

y2karthik · 24-01-2012, 11:17 AM

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.

**ssk_the_gr8** · 24-01-2012, 05:10 PM

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).

sulekha might be cheap but it is not really a good place to buy something from. i have had a bad experience. would recommend flipkart.

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.........

ajaymailed · 29-01-2012, 02:28 AM

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.

utkarsh73 · 01-02-2012, 10:01 AM

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.

red dragon · 01-02-2012, 10:24 AM

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

sekhar.mld · 01-02-2012, 10:57 PM

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.

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

??

Sarath · 04-02-2012, 02:15 PM

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.
