Nokia Lumia 710 interchangeable covers

The 710 comes in a range of colours, and interchangeable rear covers can be bought separately. Other optional accessories are an NFC-capable headset, which can also be connected via Bluetooth. Neither of the Lumias support near-field communications (NFC), as the Windows Phone platform does not currently support it.

  • I want a Nokia 800 NOW! - This is an Iphone 4s killer, and it's fresh. Better than Android. And perfectly balanced for battery life and performance. If you have well written coding upon the OS, then that alone can possibly compensate or not need dual core processors just yet. - Nokia is back with a big bite. I am so glad to see. I am waiting for symbian Belle - which as we know is better than Android and iOS5 - As we know it has had very good reviews. - So with Nokia giving us a range of OS's such as Symbian Belle - Which is better than Android and Apple. And now with Microsoft offering yet again a superb OS - Nokia have won the crown. They are the Rolls Royce of Phones alongside with it's brother Microsoft. And we know that common people go for common cars.

    I want a rolls royce of a phone, not something that everyone has. I want something original and the best in balance overall. Something special like a rolls royce of smartphones, something that is not common like everyone else has... And that is the Nokia Lumia 800.

    So many common Androids and iPhones - sick to death of those things, the remind me of BMW drivers.

    Get a life, get a decent phone such as a Nokia! Apple and Android are way over-rated by joe public who haven't got a clue about phones or technology. And the magazines reviewers sometimes haven't got a clue either.

    I used to work for NATO Satellite Comms. Using Sky/BBC technology.

    Only a Nokia is powerful enough and versatile enough for what I need. An Apple and Android just can't do it for me.

    Good job Nokia.

  • What a ridiculous comment.

    Proofs:
    a) Your assertion that "getting a life" depends on your mobile. Get a life.
    b) A Nokia WinMo is -not- a Rolls Royce of a phone. It barely competes. It doesn't even have the apps to back it up. It looks nice, but for now ... no horse-powered apps. Sorry.
    c) An iPhone/Android is perfectly acceptable for "joe public". They are the most advanced and app-backed phones out there and the wisest choice, vs "status"-fools such as your good? self.

    I hope you were paid well for staining the internet.

  • LOL at "iPhone killer"; nothing can take that behemoth down.
    But it IS a beautiful looking phone, I'm mesmerized by its design and I haven't even bought it...yet!
