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

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.

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

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.

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.

YES bro! especially the region part.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

yup, kind of impressive and its easy to fix if the photo is dark, just pick the auto-fix on WP7. I love that function.

Nice, what phone is he holding? looks like HTC windows phone. is it titan?

wowzer! titan II is so cool! i wonder how much the price would be. But i wonder why its still using SLCD instead of AMOLED.

Hehe, the only thing that i dont like about this phone is the hardware keys button, i like capacitive better. Now plannning to upgrade to lumia 800 because it got capacitive keys. Easier to press. Lazy wanna press hardware keys. Hahaa. I wonder why lumia 610 got capacitive but this model doesn't!

yes bro! you are correct!

btw, just want to inform, i am selling my unit with package promotion, if anyone interested check out my topic! thanks!

because the hardware keys, i'm not comfortable with it, i'm more comfortable with capacitive keys, planning to upgrade to lumia 800, but i have read review somehow it's not as smooth as lumia 710, the screen rotation on lumia 710 is by far the fastest on WP7.5, so i might wait for something else.

give it some time, hehe. just like me, now been using it almost a month, battery is getting better.
