Those who are eager to get their hands on the first Windows Phone from Nokia can already put in an order. T-Mobile will launch the Lumia 710 next week, but the online retailer Wirefly is taking pre-orders now... and below the standard price.
The smartphone is going to debut on Jan. 11, just in time to be shown off at the Consumer Electronics Show. T-Mobile will charge just $50 after a $50 mail-in rebate with a two-year service agreement.
Wirefly's pre-order prices are even lower. Those who are switching to T-Mobile to get the Lumia 710 will not have to put any money down, or send in a MIR, as long as they sign a two-year contract. Current T-Mobile subscribers can get this Windows Phone for $40 with contract and no MIR. Shipping is free.
Nokia Lumis 710 Overview
This device includes a 3.7-inch Touchscreen with "ClearBlack" technology and a WVGA (800 x 480) resolution. It runs Microsoft's Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) on a 1.4GHz Qualcomm processor with 512MB of RAM. There is 8GB of storage but no removable memory card slot.
The Lumia 710 supports T-Mobile's 4G HSPA+ network, and also has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The device is equipped with a 5MP camera.
This model will be the first of Nokia's new Windows Phones to debut in the U.S., others are expected soon. Nokia has a press conference scheduled for next Monday at the CES tradeshow, where rumors indicate it might announce the Lumia 900 for AT&T.
