This all things won’t be happen until Microsoft will release a next major version of Windows Phone. May be you have to wait till the May. I have used browsing on Lumia 800 and didn’t find any lag or issue with browsing. Yeah but dual core will probably do all stuffs at more speed.

i am already using htc titan which has 1.5 ghz processor,but compared to android and ios web experience is very slow.though ui of windows is truely amazing,what lacks is dual core technology and applications.
hope windows will cope with that soon.cause this year is of quad core phones which even makes dual core technology microsopic.

@Tremerin D’souza Hi, you just wants to see screenshots of the apps or running it on phones. If you need screenshots then you can find all those on windows phone marketplace site but if you need running it on phones then I’ll post it later.

Not sure about the next OS but usually Microsoft releasing maintenance updates for OS every 1-2 months. As far as hardware concern, the phone has 1.4 GHz processor and 512 MB RAM which can’t be considered as an age old device. Also devices on other platforms under the price range 15-20K don’t have more than 1GHz processor and 512 RAM. And If you are comparing Windows Phone hardware’s specifications with Android Phones then definitely you will call it age old but you will realize this fact when you will use a Windows Phone.

is this nokia model upgradable to upcoming windows versionscause its hardware is really age old and nokia is not clear about its update policy.

At what price you have got this handset? I think now the price has been dropped by 20-30% for Lumia 710

Its ok but i personally don not like series 40 phone. Atleast series 60 would be good.
Amit.g January 25, 2012 at 8:24 pm
Bought Nokia lumia 710. Its simply an awesome phone guys.windows mango offers rich user experience n its really fun using it… I checked with galaxy s plus before buying but I found windows more attractive than android gingerbread. Nokia made wise decision by choosing windows platform

cool but Nokia should start pumping up and bring some solid windows phones and up it’s technological ante compared to android and iOS.
