T-Mobile today announced that it will sell the Nokia Lumia 710 starting January 11 for $49.99 after rebate with a new contract. The device is the first Nokia Windows Phone Mango product to officially be sold in the U.S. The hardware is unchanged from the international version of the 710, which was announced in October, but it has T-Mobile-branded content, such as T-Mobile Live TV, MyAccount and the new Nokia ESPN-powered Sports Hub and Nokia Drive for mapping and routing. The Lumia 710 features a 3.7-inch WVGA display with Nokia’s ClearBlack technology; 1.4GHz single core SnapDragon processor with 512MB of RAM, and 8GB of storage; HSPA Category 10 at 14.4Mbps down and 5.76Mbps up, Bluetooth 2.1, Wi-Fi, and GPS. It has a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus, LED flash, and video capture at 720p HD. It will be available in either black or white. T-Mobile USA also said that Windows Phone will play a more prominent role in its smartphone lineup through 2012, though it didn't announce any specific new phones.

Don't be an early adopter

Aside from die hard nokia or windows fans, I hope no actually seriously considers buying this device. The alternatives like ios and android are much more mature OS's and offer tons of more apps.

Start of Something New?

Hopefully, this will well represent some of the goodness to come from this Nokia and MS partnership. I really curious about the Nokia 900 series WP7. If the specs of that WP7 series are true, MS will have another winner, like the HTC Titan. LTE, 4.3in. Screen, up to 32gigs of storage and the built in Nokia turn by turn GPS software.

No one expected MS to be able to pull of being the number one selling game console in America.
