SUNNYVALE, CA, United States – The Nokia Lumia 710 is a phone that packs an amazing feature set into a budget-friendly package. Just because the phone (and accompanying data package on T-Mobile) is affordable, don’t think that you sacrifice by choosing a Lumia 710.
The Nokia Lumia 710 features a 3.7-inch ClearBlack Display, 5-megapixel camera that captures HD video and a really fast Windows Phone experience that uses T-Mobile’s 4G network to deliver a fun experience to those who buy it.
Last week, we reported on the Lumia 900′s glowing reviews on Amazon.com and this time, I’m happy to report that those who have bought the Lumia 710 are thrilled as well.
Let’s see what Lumia 710 owners on Amazon.com are saying.
Andrew loves how the Lumia 710 blends with his online life with its built-in applications and utilities.
The place where both Apple and Android have had an upper hand has been in their app stores. I wondered if Microsoft’s Marketplace would have enough of a selection to meet my immediate needs. Thus far, I’ve been very pleased with the depth of the Microsoft Marketplace. Barcode scanner app (RedLaser)? Check. QR code generator? Check. Specialty apps, created for my hobbies? Check! The Marketplace also connects with XBox Live, for access to many games. My wife was excited to find a trial of Angry Birds on her phone.
Mimo in Kansas loves the Lumia 710′s value, along with the Facebook integration and built-in Nokia Drive GPS capability.
Like this device very much, despite its low price it seems well build and feature-wise it is practically identical to its bigger brother, the Lumia 800. The WP is very smooth and snappy, and Facebook integration works better than in any other OS. Also the proprietary Nokia Apps are a big plus against other WP7 devices, especially the free turn-by-turn navigation.
Meanwhile, Akash finds the Lumia 710 to be stable, solid and fast.
Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) is pretty awesome. Live Tiles are the perfect compromise between Android’s resource-intensive widgets and iOS’s bland, sterile home screen. The OS has yet to crash on me, I’d wager to say it’s the most stable and speedy mobile OS I’ve used so far. You have a little less control over background tasks than Android, but whatever WP7 is doing behind the scenes is working because the OS never hesitates, never stutters.
Lastly, the Travelling Tech Guy loves the screen visibility and feel of the Lumia 710:
The Lumia 710 is a great device. It’s 3.7″ display means it still fits in your pocket. It is sturdily built (as are most Nokias) and feels good in your hand.
The screen is highly visible in direct sunlight, due to its deep black background and the sharp colors.
Nokia Lumia 710 owners – what do you think of the Amazon.com reviews? What points are they missing on? Please weigh in below in the comments.

Up to 70,000 volunteers will make a London 2012 Games happen
If a tip fits – you’re a London 2012 Games Maker. Up to 70,000 Olympic and Paralympic Games volunteers are donning their uniforms for a initial time, that will capacitate them to work during a Games.
Between May and Sep a Uniform Distribution and Accreditation Centre (UDAC) will routine 400,000 staff and volunteers, who will wear matching outfits in a summer.
Per hour, 800 people can be accredited and 280 can collect adult their uniforms. That is a lot of eager volunteers to get through.
So with thousands of people going by a doors during a centre in easterly London, a BBC looks during how to get from changing room to checkout.
Starting line
The UDAC centre is a distant cry from a elegance of a Olympic Stadium: it is simply a territory room with London 2012 flags outside.
Only confidence staff on a doorway give a denote that something critical could be function inside.
The Games Maker tour starts in a accreditation gymnasium where other volunteers and members of staff from a UK Border Agency countenance papers and check identities.
Games Makers will be on their feet for hours during a time so well-fitting trainers are a must
This territory is roughly empty, detached from a bank of staff watchful to indicate databases and check that field are who they contend they are.
Next comes a sketch area. Most Games Makers had their design taken during their preference eventuality so this partial of a routine is especially for contractors and Locog staff – who all need to be accredited.
If there is a problem with support – for example, improper spellings or an improper purpose being reserved – visitors are taken to a assistance desk.
“We will try to do as most as probable to solve issues during a UDAC rather afterwards send people away,” says Sharon McMichael, London 2012 organiser Locog’s conduct of accreditation and uniforms.
“We wish it to be a certain experience. At a impulse we are saying reduction than 10% of people with problems though that will increase.”
Before a accreditation is finish all passes are laminated for confidence purposes.
Each pass has a singular barcode and Miss McMichael pronounced they will be enlivening Games Makers to news mislaid or stolen passes so a aged one can be cancelled and a new one can be reissued.
“It’s an critical request so we will be enlivening everybody to demeanour after it and wear it visibly during all times.”
Games Makers would even be speedy to nap in them, she laughs.
Quick change
Once a paper is in place, it is off to a changing rooms.
It starts with a feet: dilettante staff make certain that Games Makers’ red and grey trainers fit.
Games Maker Leah Fletcher says she loves her uniform
Half-sizes are accessible and recommendation is given about withdrawal adequate room for feet to bloat in a summer heat.
“They are so soft, like slippers,” shoe fitter Danielle Watts says, as she checks toes are not extending out of a trainer.
“The Games Makers are going to be on their feet for a prolonged time so they have got to be comfortable.”
Next they try on their uniform for size, in one of 70 wise rooms, separate into masculine and womanlike sections.
Designed by Locog and manufacturer Adidas, a uniform is a purple tip and coupler with Grenadier Guards red on a cuffs and collars.
Beige trousers finish a look.
Each chairman will be given dual polo shirts, dual pairs of trousers, dual pairs of socks, one coupler and one span of trainers.
Once in a wise room Games Makers notice one pivotal underline that is blank – mirrors.
The group seem utterly worried, with one discontented proffer shouting: “How am we ostensible to see what we demeanour like?”
Locog says it deliberately did not fit mirrors so that people would not spend time looking during their uniforms.
“Now they come out and get people to take cinema of them to see what they demeanour like. That takes longer.” says Miss McMichael.
“If we had to go behind and do it all again, I’d put mirrors in.”

London 2012 – One unusual year
As Durham tyro Leah Fletcher, 19, tentatively stairs from behind a screen she seems honestly anxious with a uniform she is being given a “privilege” to wear.
“It’s amazing. When we was attempted it on, we kept looking during it,” she says.
“I always wear sporty panoply so I’m used to it. My favourite partial is a trainers. we adore them.”
Miss Fletcher, who had never been to London before, pronounced she had trafficked 7 hours on a train to go by a one-hour accreditation process.
The teen will be assisting spectators during a Games and was effervescent with spreading unrestrained for her task.
“I found out dual days before Christmas. we couldn’t trust it during all.
“I got an email and wouldn’t trust it until we went onto my Games Maker comment and review it myself.
“My silent and father are so unapproachable and all my friends consider I’m so lucky.”
Neal Harden, 59, was innate in London though now lives in a Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire. He managed to mix his uniform collection with volunteering during London exam events.
He took a whole routine in his stride, nearing with container in tow, initial assist pin badges on his shawl and a accessible grin on his face.
“I grew adult conflicting Wembley Stadium and with a links that’s got with a Olympic Games we only wanted to be partial of a eventuality while it was here.
“I’m never going to get a second chance.”
The Police seminar manager will be a First Aid Responder during both a Olympic and Paralympic Games.
“The uniform is positively particular and will assistance us mount out in a approaching crowds,” Mr Harden says.
“With all a Games Makers wearing it, it should demeanour utterly impressive.
“I consider we will substantially wear some of it after a eventuality though maybe not as a finish outfit.”
At a checkout
Once a Games Makers have attempted on their uniform, they afterwards enter a room and accept their central Games Maker bag.
Staff roughly tumble over themselves to assistance volunteers who, it seems, can't wait to get their hands on their stash.
The pack includes a ball cap, central Games time bag, H2O bottle, notepad, powerful “just in box it rains” and socks. They also collect adult their rightly sized garments.
Games Maker Neal Harden is tender with his uniform
The uniforms will be ragged for a smallest of 10 shifts – dual changes of panoply per week.
With that in mind they have been designed to be palm washable and double resistant.
It is something that will greatfully those, including Miss Fletcher and Mr Harden, who devise to use stay sites for accommodation during a Games.
But if a devise doesn’t work, Seb Coe’s army of volunteers could finish adult looking like a good un-ironed.
Once a equipment are bagged adult it is by to a “checkout” – that has been supposing by tradesman Next – where all equipment are scanned though no income changes hands.
This ensures batch government is confirmed and Locog does not run out of renouned sizes.
At a finish of a accreditation routine a giveaway Oyster transport label is issued, so volunteers can get to a Games.
Most Games Makers are to nonetheless to finish their training though as their uniforms are issued, they will be suited, booted and geared adult to volunteer.
