Nokia Lumia 710 is a Windows Phone 7 smartphone.[5] Its release is part of a change in company's direction which has resulted in a shift from Symbian platform towards Windows Phone for smartphones. While the Nokia Lumia 800 and Lumia 900 target the high-end of the smartphone marketplace, the Lumia 610 and Lumia 710 are aimed at the mid-range price point.[6] This generation of Lumia phones ship with Windows Phone 7.5 "Mango". Its design is almost the same as the Symbian Nokia 603, announced just over a week earlier.[7][8]

It has been released in Brazil and some Western European and Asian countries.[9] On 14 December 2011, T-Mobile and Nokia officially announced their plan to sell the Lumia 710 from 11 January 2012, for $349.99 prepaid or $49.99 with a 2-year contract with minimum of $60 per month plan and $35 per line activation fee.[10] At CES 2012, Nokia announced that Rogers would have exclusivity for the Lumia 710 in Canada.[11] The phone, alongside the Nokia Lumia 800, is promised to get an update to add wi-fi hotspot capabilities.[12]

On 25 February 2013, the Nokia Lumia 720, the successor of the Nokia Lumia 710, was presented. The improvements are Windows Phone 8, dual-core 1 GHz Qualcomm S4 chipset, a front-facing VGA camera, a bigger 4.2 in display, a bigger 2000 mAh battery and support for up to 64 GB microSD cards.[2]
