Nokia Lumia 710
MRP: Rs 18,000
Street Price (As On 1-Feb-2012): Rs 14,800 (Adexmart.com); Rs 15,500 (Saholic.com; Letsbuy.com)


While the Lumia 800 battles it out for the top spot, its younger sibling the Lumia 710 is up against a horde of budget Androids. Despite the price difference between these two Lumias, the 710's specs are nothing short of impressive. But does it have what it takes to attract the masses?


Design And Build QualityThe retail package contains the phone, a charger, USB cable, and a pair of earphones. The handset measures 4.7" (l) x 2.5" (w) x 0.5" (d) and weighs 126 grammes. The device looks similar to its distant cousin from the Symbian family, the Nokia 603. The gadget's front is covered by glass, while the back sports a matte finish. Unlike most Windows Phone handsets though, the keys are tactile rather than capacitive.

Thanks to its Gorilla Glass and good quality plastic, the phone can withstand a lot of abuse. I know this for a fact since I actually tried scratching it with keys and other metallic objects. Overall, Nokia has done a great job in the design and build quality department.
