When we get to see a leaked release roadmap from a carrier, sometimes the information it contains isn't very precise. It may represent some long-term plans for the carrier, and the arrival of certain models may not be placed with any more certainty than the month, or even the quarter, when that hardware's expected. We find ourselves in very much the opposite boat here today, with a T-Mobile roadmap providing some very precise release dates, but not naming the phones in question. According to this find, here's the release schedule T-Mobile's expecting for Q1: January 11: one device January ...

You may have already seen some new commercials from T-Mobile that feature the new Nokia Lumia 710, but now Nokia is advertising their first Windows Phone in the U.S. as well. The new commercial reminds us of the style that Apple has used with their iPhone ads. You've got a big hand holding the phone while a soft male voice tells you about it in a conversational manner. Nokia uses a slightly more interesting animated backdrop however, and also decides to reveal the meaning of life. Do you think this will help more people become aware of Windows Phone? Is that the same hand model from the ...

Nokia and T-Mobile launched the Lumia 710 back in December of last year when they said it will be available starting January 11, which is today. Stephen Elop referred to the device, carrier and date several times while on stage at CES and, as promised, the phone is now available. It comes in white and black flavors, both going for $49.99 on a two-year contract. According to the CEO of Nokia, the Lumia 710 is targeted for those consumers that didn't make the jump to a smartphone, by delivering a great build quality with a fresh, fun and revolutionary platform. As a reminder, the Lumia 710 ...

Looks like Nokia didn't forget about Canada when it decided to come to America with its Lumia 710, which is expected on T-Mobile's network towards the middle of the month. According to recent reports, the younger (and to some, the uglier) brother of the Lumia 800 will be Canada's first Nokia Windows Phone. And, since they're already treating the two markets in a similar way, it's just normal that the Nokia Lumia 900 (aka Ace) flagship will be heading up north too. We're yet to find out details related to exact pricing, availability and carriers but according to MobileSyrup, first choice ...

Windows Phone fans in the US are understandably excited about the Lumia 710's rapidly-nearing debut on T-Mobile. With the 800 still waiting in the shadows, the 710 will be the first chance Americans get to check out a Nokia Windows Phone device. If you were hoping to get your hands on one early, we saw one lucky owner put a single 710 up on eBay near the end of last month; unfortunately, the auction was stopped before it had a chance to run its course. While we may all have to keep waiting until January 11 for some access to the 710, it looks like T-Mobile is in full-swing of getting ready ...

The second week of January is the timeframe to look for if you are interested in the Nokia Lumia 710 on T-Mobile; the phone already popped up on the carrier's website wearing a "coming soon" tag but if you just can't wait two more weeks you might be able to score the first Nokia Windows Phone on T-Mobile. Currently at $340 and climbing, there's one certain Lumia 710 on eBay. It seems to be the real thing and, if you take a closer look at the official T-Mobile packaging, you'll see that the phone will come with ESPN and The Weather Channel apps preinstalled. The phone features a 1.4GHz ...

According to different reports, Nokia is pushing out several updates for its dedicated navigation application shipping on all Windows Phones made by the Espoo-based company. We are expecting offline navigation to be included but the first minor update doesn't seem to bring it. It looks like there is an update which bumps the version numbers to 1.1.0.1584 and there is also an update which is numbered 1.5.0.0. We are still waiting for that full offline support but if you have a Nokia Windows Phone and got one update or even both, let us know in the comments if you notice anything major. ...

Windows Phone users know this from the very early days: OEMs have special categories in the Windows Phone Marketplace where they aggregate applications and goodies for users of their phones. LG, Samsung and HTC all have their own Marketplace categories and now Nokia has secured its own, called Nokia Collections. Nokia Windows Phone owners no longer have to search for apps released by Espoo; instead, when opening the Marketplace, there should be a special category where all device/make-specific software should be found. The images above are reportedly snapped off of the French Marketplace ...

Over the last couple weeks, there's been plenty of speculation about launch plans for the Nokia Lumia 710, especially when it came to the phone's arrival on T-Mobile in the US. We heard non-specific mentions of an early 2012 release, and then caught our first look at the phone with T-Mobile badging (even if just a line-art render) when it put a stop in at the FCC. It wasn't long after that when we uncovered the first press shot of the phone as it would arrive on the carrier. Invitations distributed for a joint Nokia and T-Mobile event scheduled for this evening had us hoping we'd finally ...

Having been tipped by Nokia itself in an FCC filing -- and confirmed last week by The Verge -- it's really no surprise that T-Mobile will be launching the Lumia 710 at an event on Wednesday. Yet with the lower-end of Nokia's two Windows Phone debuts still offering plenty of sex appeal, we'll gladly take another look or two, especially when a US carrier has its branding prominently displayed. T-Mobile will offer the Lumia 710 in both its black and white color SKUs, along with the interchangeable back covers. The 3.7-inch, Mango-powered 710 should be the first, but certainly not the last, ...

The December 14 joint T-Mobile-Nokia event will most probably bring the Lumia 710 to the U.S. -- as the phone's manual over at FCC seems to hint -- but so far we've received no official wording from either the carrier or the phone maker. According to the image above, T-Mobile is emphasizing on accessories for the Lumia 710 which by itself isn't such groundbreaking information but it might be the first official hint that the Lumia 710 will be part of the event. Of course, we'd be as happy as you if the Lumia 710 would be accompanied by at least another Windows Phone (though the chances of ...

While the Nokia Lumia 800 has been stealing the spotlight, the manufacturer recently turned its attention to promoting the 710, in anticipation of its wide release. Just when will the phone be available where? The Windows Phone handset had been marked as "coming soon" on Nokia's US site, and while it was initially supposed to have its UK debut in November, those plans have been put on-hold. A couple of new finds may just shed some light on the 710's story. In the UK, retailer Digital-phone.co.uk has updated its page for the Lumia 710 to show the phone's availability as beginning on January ...

It is well-known that Compal Communications is manufacturing Windows Phones for Nokia and Acer; we knew that since the company officially became Windows Phone 7 ODM back in June. Now, according to recent reports, Compal is increasing shipments and it can be mainly due to Nokia. After shipping initial Windows Phones to Nokia back in September, the total number of units shipped from January through September was at 2.1 million. The company is expected to ship over 600,000 handsets in November compared to 200,000 delivered last month. While the exact numbers for the fourth quarter of the year ...
