T-Mobile and Nokia Launch Lumia 710 Windows Phone

T-Mobile and Nokia recently held an event at Skylight Soho to announce the launch of the Lumia710, their first Windows Phone to be available in the US. The Lumia 710 became available this month (launches January 11th) for a very affordable $49.00 with a 2 year contract.

The launch event was an all around interactive winter wonderland playground. Guests were treated to arcade video games, billiards (pool), air hockey, an interactive photo booth with the abominable snowman and a human snow globe (yes, you read that correctly)

Available in black and crisp white, the lightweight Lumia 710 boasts a 3.7″ touchscreen, ClearBlack display, 5 Mega Pixel Auto Focus Camera, LED Flash and HD Video, 7 hour talk time, 400 hour standby, 38 hour music playback, 5.5 hour video playback, replaceable soft-touch back covers, changeable home screen colors, a curved battery cover with a people hub that includes Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, email, Chat and SMS.

After guests feasted on some delicious hors d’oeuvres and cocktails designed to warm you up – delicious cups of soup and pizza, spiked eggnog, spiked apple cider, etc

To end the night, the crowd was entertained by a live performance by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah who played several songs at the end of which the crowd was showered with “snow”

So if you’re a T-Mobile customer who’s looking to get an affordable windows phone, your prayers have been answered.
