Nokia Lumia 710. Why Special


The Nokia Lumia 710 is the first of the series to reach the states, which is a shame because the 800 series phones are quite powerful. And although the 710 is a snappy little guy, it suffers from a few tiny hurdles that will ultimately see this phone fall into the land of obsurity, where only fans need apply. Who are those fans? The scant few members of the Windows Mobile Chorus who are desperately clinging to the idea that the mobile platform from Microsoft stands a chance.
Nokia Lumia 710 hdI should preface all of this by saying that I have yet to meet a mobile that has me accepting the idea that the Windows mobile platform is a worthy contender in the market. And although the Windows mobile OS is one of the more spritly interfaces (making lesser-powered phones run like champs), the UI is horrible. Unless you like to do a lot of scrolling, don’t really care about configuring your interface, don’t mind that your mail and social network clients look NOTHING like what you are accostomed to (and aren’t even remotely efficient), the Windows mobile UI is one of the single worst interfaces ever designed. Now, with that preface out of the way, let’s take a look at a well designed piece of hardware.
