Walt Mossberg: Talk Is Cheap and Reliable on Nokia’s $50 Phone
After a week of testing the Lumia 710, my verdict is that it’s a good value for the money, and a good choice for people moving up to their first smartphone, or those looking for an alternative to Android and Apple. It has some notable weaknesses and drawbacks, and it doesn’t compare with the iPhone 4S or elite Android models like the Samsung Galaxy S II. But it’s a decent phone that gets the most common smartphone tasks done.
Mossberg is an admitted lover of Apple products; it’ll be interesting to see what he thinks of the higher-end Nokia Lumia 900 in a few months.
