Nokia Lumia 710 4G Prepaid Windows Phone, (T-Mobile) (Black)

It comes with an activation kit. It is a nice phone, looks nice,however mine broke down after 3 months but Nokia phones have a one year warranty. I went to Nokia website, received a prepaid postage and mailed it to them, after two weeks I received my phone back working even better. So I was very happy about that. I have this phone now for about 6 months, I travel a lot and it is nice going to Europe buying there a SIM card and being able to use my phone, or I only re-charge my phone with money when I really need it, like when I am about to go on a vacation and I don't have to pay money to the cell phone company when I don't use it. This was the main reason why I got this phone, AT&T always overcharged me (even with their lowest plan I ended up paying at least $65 a month on good days but it was so easy to go over text messaging and data that usually I ended up paying at least $80........now I only spend $30 plus $3 tax for 1500 combined minutes plus text messages) and as soon as my contract expired I decided to get a prepaid phone. What I also like about this phone is the windows map. I downloaded the state I live in to use it and even without data on your phone you can still use the GPS. How great is that! I only purchase the $30 dollar refill card as I mostly use my phone for talking and texting but I like the GPS that does not need data to work (smart phone yes) you just have to pre-download the map you will need and it will take you anywhere. Before I thought I would have to pay/get the $50 dollar card to be able to use the GPS but no, it works even without it. I paid for this phone $200, not sure why it went up. I think that is too expensive right now. I know that apple sells prepaid phones and their iPhone 4 costs right now $450 and you can use it with t-mobile prepaid plan as well so if I were to purchase now I would go for more advance phone because anything above $200 is too expensive unless it is iPhone or Samsung galaxy. I will stick to my phone for probably another 1,5 years and see how the market will change. I hope there will be more prepaid/no contract phones out there.

I bought this for myself, however the lack of applications, missing features, and horrible multitasking made me give this to my mother instead. She loves this phone and takes pictures and emails them to me all the time now. I would not recommend this phone to power-users, however for beginners such as older people and younger children this is more than enough. In addition, the integrated social networks such as facebook, twitter, etc is amazing! Also has a dedicated GPS and 4g data which is pretty great! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me in the comments section :)Update: I gave this to my mother several years ago and she loved it. I have since upgraded her to an Android phone which she loves as well. Windows Phone has since been updated many times and this phone hasn't gotten the update. So, I am not sure how well this phone would work these days. If you are looking for the latest and greatest I'd stay away from this phone at this time.

Before the Nokia Lumia 710, I had iPhone 4 and iPhone 3G. I was getting tired of the iOS UI. Plus I was planning to switch to a prepaid account anyway. I could no longer justify the amount I was paying AT&T for a smartphone I could barely use at work. While my iPhone 4 would work with T-mobile, the data speed would only be Edge which was not acceptable for me. So I started shopping around...The Windows Phone OS intrigued me because it was different from the mostly icon grid-based UI of both iOS and Android. The WP UI, I think, is intuitive. I was able to understand how it works pretty much from turning on the phone. If you have most of your accounts with Google (gmail, calendar, etc.) then setting up your phone is easy. However, since i did live in the iOS world for over 4 years, setting up my iCloud accounts was another story. I did manage to set it up but it took some time and research. The apps that came with it I mostly kept; others I deleted. I like that it came with a Nokia Drive app since I am directionally-challenged when I'm driving. Most of the apps that I had on my iPhone, I was able to replace with WP apps. But there are apps in iOS that I are not in the WP marketplace that I miss (like Tweetbot, Arclight, etc.). The app selection in the WP Marketplace also seems limited...The phone itself looks good! It's light (lighter than my iPhone 4) and it doesn't feel cheap. The screen size is just perfect for one-handed operation (it has 3.7" screen - I think anything beyond 4" is hard to use with just one hand). The screen is not quite as good as the iPhone 4 but not by much. The camera, while also 5MP like my iPhone 4, seems inferior - it's harder to get a clear picture on the Lumia for some reason; it seems I have to really be steady to get a clear picture. I don't really miss not having a front-facing camera.Overall, it's a solid product. Had it for a month now and haven't had problems with it. Best of all, my monthly cellular bill has been cut by almost $50! And I can actually use my phone at work now!

I hate the lack of apps in the marketplace. its dreadful. but the phone,internet,email, and gps functions are all great on mine.you might say, well its a phone if the phone functions work well why not give it 5 stars.2 reasons1- thats why you buy a smartphone, to do more than just talk on the phone2- the call volume is not so great, people can hear me fine, but even with the volume cranked up, i cant always hear that well. [no i dont have hearing trouble]overall its a very good phone, but the lack of apps is a killer. i got this phone because it was contract free and i get $49 unlimited 4G with a nationwide network [solavei, which uses tmobile's network]. I'm saving $25 per month compared to the big carriers like at&t,verizon,and sprint. so over 8 months this phone ends up being free. i've had it for about 5 months.
