My Thoughts:

I really like the Nokia Lumia 710. It was easy to turn the service on. The first thing I noticed was the BIG buttons on the screen to be able to find things. I should say categories if that makes better sense. It’s very easy to customize the color scheme that you want on your phone. This phone is very user friendly and everything you need is just a touch away. The sensor on the screen works really, it still sense the heat from your fingers even if your fingers are really cold. That is a plus because you don’t have lag. The speaker quality on this phone is really decent. The camera is fantastic. I was very impressed with the way the pictures turned out. The maps that are built into the phone and the Nokia Drive are pretty much right on when your looking to get from place to place. Download speed works really well when you have 4G service or WiFi. Even though you have to use Zune on the phone it organizes your music, videos and podcasts, makes it easier to download stuff to your phone. The voice talk setting work quiet well, as long as you have no interference in the phones mic it will do what you want it do. We even tried the games on the phone and from my gamer son he says that it’s perfect and there is no lag. Which for him is a bonus The ringtones on the phone are nice and loud which is a plus because there are some ringtones on other phones I have had that are not as loud and that can be disappointing especially if you miss a call. This phone is really durable too. However, with any touch screen phone I recommend a case.

My overall thoughts on the Nokia Lumia 710 is this phone is a win win phone. Everything you need is at a touch of a screen. Everything is easy to find. Great for any busy person who loves a social life. The cost is very afforadable too.
