ESPOO, Finland – The Nokia Lumia 710 will start hitting the shops over the next week in select regions and is expected to become an instant hit.
It went on sale in stores in Taiwan today, along with the Nokia Lumia 800, in the first stages of a rapid global roll-out of the ultra-affordable smartphone.

With an estimated retail price of €270, excluding taxes and subsidies, the phone will be available from operator partners, retailers and open channels depending on the local situation.

It combines the powerful social and Internet experience of Windows Phone with the ability to take pictures in almost any conditions and share with friends in seconds, as well as access to thousands of the most popular apps, including exclusive Nokia services.
