Great replacement for iPhone 3GS
By gante
I had been using an iPhone 3GS for a few years (and have been an AT&T customer in general for years before that) when I started to realize just how much I was paying for AT&T's service but how little I was using it, or the talk minutes part of it anyway. I had thousands of roll over minutes and hundreds expiring every month. I no longer felt I was getting any value from their service. I looked around to try and find some savings and realized that by buying my phone up front and bringing it to T-mobile, I could be saving $20 per month. The phone does pay for itself eventually.
So anyway - I am supposed to be reviewing this phone. I have been curious about the WP7 phones for a while and was happy to finally make the jump. The phone itself is attractive enough and the additional software provided by Nokia makes their handsets even better than the other WP7 phones out there. The Drive GPS app is much more than I expected from preinstalled software. It has day/night mode, a good selection of voices, and speed alerts. Plus the maps are downloaded to the phone so you never have to wait for them to load.
The hubs and live tiles concept takes a while to get used to, but now that I have adapted, I wondered how I lived without them. Hubs make the folders in iOS seem useless in comparison. And live tiles are like notifications that display on the individual tile. It is a very cool concept and well executed.
I never thought I would use the FM radio, but the park where I go to walk has poor coverage by T-Mobile and I was not able to stream internet music there. I just switched to the radio and found an appropriate station with good reception. It worked fantastic.
Also, the phone came with a pretty good pair of headphones, which don't seem to be included when purchasing from T-Mobile.
There are few negative points to this phone: It is an international phone, so I was disappointed to find that the wall charger I got was the European standard and was worthless to me. However I was able to attach the cable to the USB wall plug that came with the iPhone and charge that way. Charging seems to be a little slow using USB, but I have ordered a proper wall adapter and hopefully that will remedy the slow charging.
Also, the volume when listening to audio on the phone is good but not great. Although songs which have been downloaded through the Zune store sound much stronger than streaming audio.
8GB of flash storage may not seem like enough to some people. My old 3GS had twice as much, but I never cam close to filling it. I am trying to force myself more and more into the cloud and having a smaller amount of storage helps that. I store my pictures on SkyDrive instead of on the phone and I use streaming services when possible to keep from having to download music to the phone itself. And I imagine that Microsoft will improve the cloud features of WP7 further as the platform continues to mature.
Finally, apps. Before purchasing the phone, I had scoured the Marketplace looking for WP7 equivalents to my iPhone apps. I was not able to find everything, but in most cases I was able to find an equivalent that worked just as well. Some of the apps lack a few of the features of their iOS counterparts, but they seem to be updated on a regular basis and forum posts show a commitment to creating equal features across all platforms.
So in the end, I am happy with the phone. It is not a perfect phone, but it is a huge improvement, both in the hardware and software, over my old iPhone.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I became aware after using this phone for a while that it does not work with T-Mobiles 3G/4G network. I blamed T-Mobile till I realize that their high speed data requires a phone which operates at both the 1700 MHz and 2100 MHz frequencies. This phone can't use the 1700 MHz band. While the phone still does voice, text, and (very slow) 2G (EDGE, GPRS)on the T-Mobile network, you cannot take advantage of the high speed mobile data. Had I researched this in advance, I could have saved myself some money and both myself and the seller the hassle of returning the phone. I am not bad mouthing the phone or the seller at all. The frequencies it operates at are listed in the product description. I just did not do enough homework and was operating on assumptions when I made the purchase. I am sure it works in Europe and maybe even other mobile carriers in the US, but not T-Mobile. I still have this same phone, but have returned this purchase and bought one directly from T-Mobile.

Windows Phone rocks!
By PTY User
If you need a phone to place calls, receive/send emails and want FB, Twitter, etc, updates in a second, then Windows Phone 7.5 is the OS for you. I forgot to mention that MSN Messenger is available also! All of this without downloading or installing anything! All info is on your main screen tiles so you won't need to enter a specific application to see updates but in case you want full apps, you can download them for free! This combined with the superb quality of Nokia phones is a winner!

I wanted to like it.
By Patrick Williams
I switched from AT&T to T-Mobile, and without doing too much research, ended up with the Lumia 710. I was impressed immediately by how smoothly the phone operated. Opening apps or exploring the phone is quick and easy, and the tiles interface is visually useful and easy to learn. This phone integrated completely with my facebook & twitter accounts and was remarkably efficient. When a contact was duplicated it was easy to merge the data so the same person's name didn't come up multiple times. The phone also used wireless well, and seemed fast on 4g. The camera was fine, it seemed a little blurry at times but I didn't test it much. It was also easy for me to find a flashlight app which is essential for me.
With all those positives, I eventually discovered that the negatives were "deal-breakers" for me, and so I returned the phone and got an android 2.3 phone instead. Here are the negatives for the Lumia 710: The bluetooth is barely functional. It apparently pairs with devices like earpieces without a problem, but I don't use those. I use bluetooth to make quick file transfers between phones and laptops, and Windows phone doesn't support this action at this time. My old Nokia E63 could do this just fine (Symbian OS) so I was kind of baffled that Microsoft dropped the ball here. The Lumia 710 has no expandable storage so I had nowhere to use my little 8gb mini-sd card. While I should have done more careful research, the sales tech at T-Mobile told me it would take my mini-sd card. What he MEANT was that the Lumia 710 used a mini SIM card. I hadn't bought any of my mp3s through the Zune ecosystem so I couldn't get the phone to play my mp3s. While this might have been user error, it certainly wasn't functional enough for me! I managed to get a mp3 on the phone but then couldn't use it as a ring-tone either, which was mildly annoying.
So, in conclusion, the Lumia 710 did lots of stuff well, and my wife ended up getting one. For me though, with it not doing mp3s well and not doing bluetooth well and not having expandable memory meant it just didn't do the stuff I need my cell phone to do. What's worse is that, after seeing how smooth everything runs on Windows phone, my android phone is just clunky. It's a mytouch Q (LG, android 2.3) and it has crashed a couple of times, and opens some apps slowly. I would pick Windows phone every time over android if it would just do everything that people need phones to do!
