Hands-on first impressions with the T-Mobile Nokia Lumia 710

Nokia announced their first two Windows Phone devices at Nokia World last fall and now we are seeing the first model appear officially in the U.S. The Lumia 710 is a $50 smartphone, but is still a solid Windows Phone device.

Check out my ZDNet Smartphones & Cell Phones blog post for more thoughts and a hands-on video.

There isn't much included in the box, but you will find the Nokia Lumia 710, battery, USB cable, and A/C adapter for the USB cable.

The Lumia 710 competes with the HTC Radar 4G on T-Mobile.

The Lumia 710 and Radar 4G both have 5 megapixel cameras and LED flash lights.

The Nokia Lumia 710 feels great in the hand and the Clear Black Display is attractive.

Rather than the typical capacitive Windows Phone buttons, you will find one long hardware button on the Lumia 710.

There is a 5 megapixel camera and flash on the back of the Lumia 710. The back cover is soft touch material.

There is a mono speaker on the bottom back of the Lumia 710.

The microUSB port, 3.5mm headset jack, and power button are found on the top of the Nokia Lumia 710.

There are openings for the lanyard on the bottom right of the Nokia Lumia 710.

The volume button is found on the upper right with the camera capture button on the lower right.
