Nokia’s Lumia series of WP7 devices have been the talk of the town in mobile world for awhile now. It’s expected that these new smartphones could literally and single handedly pull the Finnish company out of the mire from where it has been slowly settling in. Recently, in an effort to further promote the new Nokia, Microsoft tie up and the forthcoming launch of their Lumia 800 WP7 handset, Nokia showcased an interesting video on the design concept of the handset. The latest ‘word on the street’ is that the Lumia 800 and the funky looking Lumia 710 just might be announced in India today.
The smartphone wars are heating up and with one of India’s favorite brands return to form in a new avatar, perhaps Nokia just might be able to redeem itself.
Here’s a quick look at the Lumia 710 that will feature a 1.4GHz processor with 3D graphics and be available running the WP7 Mango version of the OS -
3.7-inch capacitive touchscreen with a 480 x 800 pixel resolution under Gorilla glass
Nokia’s Clear Black Display technology
3G, EDGE/GPRS, Wi-Fi
GPS with A-GPS support for Bing Maps
Bluetooth with A2DP + EDR, USB 2.0
5MP AF camera with LED flash and 720p video recording
FM radio
8GB internal storage
Active Noise Cancellation
The price tags are obviously not “visible” at the moment, so there’s no telling as to how they’ll be placed. If we were to guess, we’d put the 800 somewhere in the vicinity of Rs.24,000 to Rs.26,000 (MRP) and the Lumia 710 at about Rs.20,000. Windows phone handsets seem to be rather reasonably priced as Sumsung’s recent debut, the Omnia W launched with a price of just Rs.19,990 and it features a 1.4GHz processor. However, HTC’s Radar came through at Rs.23,000 with slightly lower specs than its competition, but is still priced better than some Android smartphones.
