Video: Nokia Video
The Nokia Lumia 710 just launched at T-mobile in the US, but there’s another Windows Phone device the carrier is offering that may sway customers away. It’s the HTC Radar. The Nokia Lumia 710 costs less than the Radar, but it appears that HTC’s device offers more features. Here’s my video comparison. Take a look. Display. The Nokia Lumia 710 has a 3.7-inch TFT display with Clearblack filter for better viewing outdoors. The HTC Radar has an SLCD display which looks great indoors, but is less visible outdoors than the Lumia. Other than that, I can’t see any other differences. Build. The HTC Radar has a metallic body while the Nokia Lumia 710 feels plasticky. The sides on the Radar are also rounded, which makes it feel better to hold in the hands. Internals. Both the Radar and the Lumia 710 have the same 1.4GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 CPU with 512MB RAM. Speed and performance appear the same. ———- CORRECTION: Radar has only 1GHz processor not 1.4 GHz like Nokia Lumia 710. ————— Battery. The Nokia 710 has a user-replaceable 1300mAh battery while the HTC Radar has a 1520mAh battery that isn’t removable. Since the two phones have the same processor and run the same OS, I assume the HTC Radar has longer battery life. Sorry, I haven’t tried any scientific tests. Software. Both devices run Windows Phone 7.5, but there are 2 major differences. The Nokia Lumia 710 offers Nokia Drive for turn-by-turn voice navigation. The HTC Radar offers HTC Hub, which will be …
I bought the Nokia Lumia 710 in black a week ago…I love it!
In my country it will cost 550 dollars and Lumia 800 will cost 680 dollars
of course they have same resolution because Windows Phone is optimized to 480*800. all windows phones have that resolution.
HTC rocks!!!
RADAR IS MUCH BETTER LUMIA IS SHIT
@Redbeastik its not a joke. you didn’t listen to him. its 49 with a two year contract.
So exited! Getring the nokia 710 in black tomorrow!
Thx just what Ive been lookin 4 Which one do u recomend
49 $ for lumia 710???? its joke? I bought it in Russia for 430$ =D
Nokia LUMIA 710 for ME
Nokia 710 has a better camera, faster proc, ESPN Center, Free Music streaming like Spotify, Nokia Drive, CBD TFT looks better imo and the hardware is more customizable. I used both phones and i would much rather the Nokia. As a Symbian/Meego fan however so don’t expect me to jump to WP7 anytime soon.
Nokia Шустрей немного
@mangp ALSO, do I have to pay extra to have the radar’s internet sharing feature?
I have HTC Radar its one of the best phone I ever had. Cannot compare to Lumia 710, though I have huge experience with Nokia devices which end in my decision to never buy another Nokia phone. My last Nokia was “top model” N97 which was tbh worthless piece of junk.
PLEASE ANSWER: how come tmobile’s website says, “Provides wireless internet connectivity Access the full Internet on your laptop, while on-the-go anywhere within the T-Mobile’s network.” for the lumia?
My choice is HTC radar
I exchanged my Radar for the Lumia 710. the Nokia Drive free app is great & makes it better. The camera also has some different exposure settings the Radar does not have. And also the faster processor on the 710 is super fast! If you dont need a front facing camera. 710 is better.
@ambiguous321 there’s an app called Pano that u can download
nokia 710 because other reviews said that the nokia has better camera, better display, and I think it looks better than the radar. Plus, if you live in europe like I do, they give you nokia music with mix radio, which is simply great!
@MsPricetag Really? I found multiple websites saying it does and some forums speculating that it doesn’t. An HTC rep also said that it does.
