Announced yesterday alongside the Lumia 800, the Nokia Lumia 710 might
become the company's first Windows Phone Mango handset to be released in
the US.
The 710 has appeared over at Nokia USA's
official website as "coming soon." There are no specific details on
when to expect the handset Stateside, though. However, Nokia did say
that it would bring Windows Phone devices to the US in early 2012, so
that's when the 710 will likely be available.
The Nokia Lumia 710
features a 3.7 inch WVGA ClearBlack display, 1.4GHz processor, Wi-Fi,
GPS, Nokia Drive, 5MP camera with LED flash, 720p video recording, and
8GB of internal memory.
In Europe, the handset will cost €270
before taxes and subsidies. That's about $378 - which means the
smartphone could be offered by a US carrier for under $100 on contract.
Of course, we don't know what America carrier is interested to offer the
Lumia 710 yet. Maybe Verizon, since it had staff present at Nokia World. We'll see.
