Just start a new topic and close this one.. haha. Sorry.

If can get a 2nd gen WP7.5 phone with launching price(RRP) of around RM1k, it is a steal.

This phone is really worth it for the budget-conscious. For the same hardware inside, except for the camera, you get a phone that is around RM700 cheaper.

i want this phone.. btw is this single core or duo core??

I believe it's single-core.
All Windows Phone are currently still single-core.

just one noob question.. does this mean win7.5 actually lighter than Android OS?? coz android required dual core or super fast single core to run smoothly..

micro sim,not support sd card....... disappointed but i still will get it.
but if it cant use 3g video call like n9, then i go for samsung android better.

Not sure about lighter etc.. but it sure is smoother to the eyes.

Because WP7 phone having a specific hardware specs limit set by Microsoft(1Ghz Snapdragon processor, 3 ''hardware buttons'', 800x480 resolutions, hardware camera button and somemore), so most programs/apps are well optimised for the specs, much easier than fragmented Android which is heavily fragmented in term of specs and OS version.

BTW, the UI of WP7 is simple, thus it is quite smooth.

P/S: IIRC, some sources mentioned that Microsoft is currently working out to prepare for multiple(dual) cores support and different processor support(not only snapdragon) for future Window Phone, probably wont come anytime faster than end of 2012, judging based on their update rate to bring us Mango.

same price as Xpress Music when it launched

one thing to note is that the 710 has PHYSICAL buttons, so its good for people who feel that they keep accidentally touching the Windows Key when doing things.

Not just that, Lumia 710 has micro-SD slot.

do we already know if the phone is going to be released in Malaysia?

The answer should be yes(just don't know when...).

It is Nokia(not any new or alien brand which we never heard b4) which is among the most popular/successful hand/smartphone brand in Malaysia. The phones are also not carrier exclusive or what so it should(will) be globally available when the time reach.

MicroSD slot... Well.. that depends on HOW they choose to use the slot. Read up on how external storage is handled by the Windows Phone platform now and you'll understand the problem.

Basically, it's not a matter of being able to swap cards whenever you want to. It's about using card to EXPAND your phone's storage, and that card STAYS in the phone it's paired with.

great let's wait then!!

Shouldn't be too long with so many loyal Nokia supporters here.
Early next year I guess.

I think they salah put the info the first time. Now they updated it.


Memory
Total user memory
8 GB mass memory (no slot for micro-SD cards)
http://www.nokia.co.uk/gb-en/products/phon...specifications/

Seems like Lumia 800 is a better choice now. 8GB is far too little nowadays. I snapshot the page stating expandable with micro-SD card anyway.

when when?? let me know ya..

Nokia Lumia 710 has started shipping, coming to global markets over the coming weeks(not sure if that includes Malaysia).

Source

If it comes.. I predict the pricing will be 1.2k, fighting with Radar.

Radar has nicer hardware, but Nokia has nicer app and services.

Stock available

oh ya, tat is... nice fon from Nokia after n8

The awesomeness of Voice regoniition on windows phone

stock just landed,
RP 999, start selling tmrw.

fui yoh~~

nobody is using the phone so far? i am going to buy it tomorrow. looks like i'm gonna be the first? lol.

Have fun! And let us know how is it.

this phone better than htc radar

it realy lumia 710 not support flash? gsm arena said..if it true...it very sad

Flash support is overrated, mainly because people just assume Flash = Internet videos. you tried to run any slightly heavier games on the Samsung tabs which support Flash and you can see that it struggles to work properly.

if its not due to camera...i would ditch my N8 for this phone... ooh the resistant...must resist..

Adobe will stop flash support for android in future, by the time android adopt to html5, windows phone might have already ahead them.

Woot do create a review on Lumia 710. I might want to buy it too

Here's my brief review after 2 days of using it:

I will only stated the cons, as others is GREAT/AWESOME/whatever you call it!

1. The proximity sensor problem, it doesn't work well as it should be, the screen needs to be adjusted perfectly when you're talking in order for the proximity sensor to work, you can try use white themes, then while you're talking see yourself in the mirror holding the phone, you'll find sometimes your phone screen will not turn off as it should be while you're talking. I think this is hardware problem.

2. Sometimes (yes, sometimes) you'll find the screen flicker when you're scrolling/touching the screen. Noticeable when you're using white background. But this only happens certain times. I'm not sure whether hardware problem or software, i have read on the net, some said having this problem as well.

3. The battery life is not as good as others. Maybe because its just using 1300mAh battery. My test it only last about a day (25hrs), this is without 3G on.

That's the only letdown that i have with this phone so far. Other than that, awesome! Camera can consider as okay for a 5MP shooter, HD video recording is awesome, call quality is superb as what you can expected from nokia. Internet browsing is super smooth, screen rotation super smooth, everything is smooth because it's a windows phone. haha! this is why i left android. Single core can do a great job unlike android needs a dual core to be smooth.

Quite a nice review there . Hopefully more people will provide their comments too

In terms of?

specs n price imo

Oh sorry all these while I thought both of them are using 1GHZ proc until I checked just now. 1.4GHZ proc weii this lumia 710

anybody using lumia 710 now ?

hows the battery life/usage per day ?

i bought 1 for my wife last sunday.
the battery can last for more than 1 and half day.
usage: - 3G/edge off, using wifi at home only.

my battery is getting better after 6 days of using. Now its been 2 days since last charge and still 37% left. Not bad.

How much did you use your phone? 2 days with 37% left in smartphone terms is very good.

1. For those who has bought Lumia 710, can i ask is the back cover (interchangeable) available with the set? What color? . . . . .or is it just black and white ONLY.. (i.e. other colors have to buy yourself?)

2. Does anyone buy this phone with package? (Celcom/Maxis?)


p/s:

__________

1. I live in Kuantan.
Here they sell black n white color ONLY (and don't have any clue about 'colored' Lumia)

2. I found Celcom and Maxis package for Lumia at their official website... but seems like Maxis and Celcom here have no clue (some of them was like "Huh? Lumia?"

hehe yeap! just a basic usage, call, frequent sms, sometimes using wifi to download apps. this is only on Edge network, no 3G. because at my place i can get high signal when using edge, but low signal when using 3G.
YES, for now u'll only get the white/black back cover only. The retailer said the exchangeable colors is not available yet on the day that i bought, i think this week will be available already. but, u have to buy it separately if you want to. and i dont know the price because it will only arrive this week they said. I'm on full white right now. loving it.

aih.. 999 means can't do installement? or can i?

As far as I know, installment through CC can be done only for items value more than RM1000 above.

just buy additional accessories, and you can get the installment plan

hi anyone bought the Lumia 710 model having issues of whereby the when end the calls, the calls unable to end but still goes through. to resolve need to restart the phone. i check the nokia forum, alot of users having this issues and nokia is releasing new firmware to fix the issues.

Really surprised to see only 2 users here , this phone is very worth it in my opinion...

Nope, this is not an issue for malaysia lumia 710 i think, i dont have this issue.

Here's some of the camera sample my lumia 710 taken at midvalley yesterday, I'm not good at taking pictures, but just a sample whoever thought of buying this model. All photos were taking in a rush tho, not much setting used, just auto setting, it can be better.

^ I think they are pretty good for a 5mp

Hi all,
just bought mine..
but stuck at marketplace do not support this region.. "
any idea?

hi bro, thanks for the info, i will let my friend know to ask him to buy..

lumia 710 user here.best phone i ever bought.
anywys guys,lets say if i dont pln to buy any apps and want to use a us live account.so i hve to set everything in the phone to english US?

YES bro! especially the region part.

where to check the region bro?i nt yet connect to internet because i still dont hve a micro sim.but i have already made a live account on the computer with the location set to US.

go to settings -> region+language -> change all u need and set to US.

Wondering if Nokia Lumia 710 can upgrade SD card slot like HTC Mozart. I thought 8gb is small even i never maxed out my old Nokia X6 8 gb. I like the smoothness WP7 offers unlike android. Well, i might be getting this phone. Does anyone here switched from Android to WP7 and what's the major differences that u had with Android and not with this?

totally different world. Major difference is the fludity and social integration

me! i go from low end to high end android, the big major differences is of course the apps. amount of apps comparison is a lots, and bear in mind, almost all things is NOT FREE on WP7. That's a major setback. Even a simple game like angry bird need to buy, on android at least it's free but with ads, i can live with that as long as its free. And one more thing is the limitation of WP7, everything need to sync here and there, always need to reset phone in order to adjust some important settings like region etc, but i totally understand since WP7 is still young. Really hope the OS will get better. Other than that, WP7 wins hands down.

You'll love the smoothness, the simplicity, everything that u ever wish for in a phone. WP7 is really simple and easy to use unlike android full of customization, good for modders.

Thanks for the explanation. I watched a lot about WP7 review and fell in love about the UI, simplicity and all. One questions playing in my mind is 'will i have regret buying WP7 phone?'. Actually, I don't mind about the apps numbers offered (well, maybe i'm wrong), I just care about the daily task that I'll do day by day. Do you all experience some basic / day by day stuff that don't work with WP7? I don't know how to put it by ' basic/day by day stuff' but I hope You'll understand what i mean.


Thanks

Yup, day by day stuff is easier on WP7, everything is much simpler, notes, messaging, social integration, office stuff, etc, everything is simple and perfect. Web browser on WP7 is also smooth. Everything in WP7 is straight forward, no extra setting required to run apps perfectly. It's just like plug and play.

If you don't mind about the apps then WP7 is certainly good for you, the only thing that made me regret is of course the apps issue. Hoping for more free stuff on the marketplace in the near future. Everything else is just perfect, easy to use, simple and perfect. Oh, and 1 more thing about WP7, i think you'll never experience software issue, like restart issue, hang, etc, the OS is so young but its so stable. I wonder why android can't pull like this.

Ask yourself, how many apps do you actually use on a fairly regular basis? I find I can count mine on one hand. So half a million apps is meaningless to me.

True the apps i really use can count with my fingers.

This is true, the thing that is bothering me is not how much apps it would be, but everything need to be pay on windows marketplace. And the price is much higher than android or even IOS. Yes, even if we don't use apps occasionally, but i do fill my spare times playing games on my phones, and one of basic example is games on marketplace, everything $2.99 above, fukken expensive where else on android or IOS is FREE. Oh im not talking about high end games here, just a simple casual games is more than enough to be a good example. So that's where half a million apps comes in handy, when you got a lot of choices, for sure the price will be lower or FREE, you know, where demands get lower, the price goes low as well. If only the apps price is not ridiculously expensive, then WP7 is perfect. But like i said, as long as demands high, price will be high as well.

That simply means windows phone is not suitable for you. I mostly fill my time chatting on Facebook, msn, texting on my wp7 I even bough some app aka carbon and fruit ninja. If u calculate back it cost like only rm6 when u can afford phones rm999 and above wats rm6? The depreciating value of your phone in the next few months will be even more than the value of the apps u buy. Next is wp7 is new in Malaysia it still take time to tweak and adjust to suit our country.

No matter how you boast about iOS and android u still can't get wp7 experience out of the box.

Haha, even if you bought a $1M house, doesn't mean you want to buy a ferrari right? Furthermore if the ferrari is given FREE in certain places (OS).

I know, that's why i said i totally understand because WP7 is a young fresh OS but smooth as butter. Just a review for those who're going to opt to WP7 from android or iOS.

Picture after heavy rain, no clouds, while i was driving, i should have took more pictures. Really nice the blue sky.

I guess they will be cheaper as more apps are produced. Hope I'm right.
