Nokia Lumia 710 on T-Mobile

Nokia has begun their comeback tour to the US with the Lumia 710 on T-mobile.  The Lumia 710 will sport a 3.7″ LCD w/ CBD technology, a 1.4GHz Qualcomm processor, 512MB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, 25GB of Microsoft’s cloud service called “SkyDrive”, 5MP camera, and the capability to capture HD video.  Windows Phone 7.5 Mango is the OS and support for Nokia Drive will be preloaded on the device.

I’m kind of bummed because I was hoping the Lumia 800 would come to T-Mobile but the 710 isn’t that bad after you take a closer look.  The 512MB of RAM sounds kind of weak, but numerous reviews have confirmed it runs smoothly.  The main reason it isn’t a bad phone is that you get a decent smartphone for only $50!  Of course it will take a 2yr contract but the price that it’s coming in at and what you get is impossible to beat right now.  I see this phone being hit with families and kids because it’s cheap!  The Lumia 710 will be available on January 11 and come in either black or white.

HTC TITAN = BIG AND BAD!

Even though HTC has been pushing Android devices left and right, it looks like they haven’t forgotten about Windows Phone 7.  This November, the HTC Titan will be released on AT&T’s network sporting Windows Phone Mango.  The Titan carries a 4.7″  S-LCD display, single-core 1.5GHz processer, 8MP camera, 720p HD video, 16GB of internal memory but a measly 512MB of RAM.

If you’re a fan of HTC and want to go the Windows route then make sure you take a look at the Titan.  I really don’t like HTC though,  and the specs on this are kind of dated.  I would rather get the Samsung Galaxy SII or iPhone before purchasing the Titan.  But if you really want a Windows phone, then I suggest you wait since rumors are speculating that the Nokia Lumia 800 is coming to AT&T.

Nokia Lumia 800 Announced!

The first Nokia Windows phone was recently announced at Nokia World and it’s impressive.  The Nokia Lumia 800 (ugly name!) is basically a clone of the Nokia N9 with a different OS.  Underneath the polycarbonate shell is where it’s a little different.  Specs include a 1.4GHz Qualcomm MSM8255 processor, no front facing camera, and 512MB of RAM.  The screen is smaller measuring at 3.7″ but does get the Gorilla Glass treatment.

Combining Windows Phone 7 OS with Nokia hardware didn’t make sense to me at first but it does now.  A slick and modern UI is what Nokia needed and with the Lumia 800 they seem to be headed in the right direction.  Too bad it won’t reach the US ’till 2012.
