Smart is exclusive carrier of Nokia Lumia 710
Wireless leader Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) is giving Filipinos another reason to move up to a smartphone lifestyle as it exclusively launches the first and most affordable Nokia-Windows phone in the Philippines, the Nokia Lumia 710.
Powered by Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7.5 (codename: Mango) mobile operating system, the Nokia Lumia 710 is available from Smart at an amortized and discounted price of only P450 a month for 24 months, under the Special Edition Data Plan 1000.
“We are very excited to be the exclusive carrier of the Nokia Lumia 710 in the Philippines,” said Smart Broadband Internet and Data Services Head Lloyd Manaloto. “We now have the widest range of smartphones running the best operating systems at prices that Filipinos will surely love,” he added.
Dharmesh Goshalia, General Manager and Head of Sales of Nokia Philippines, has this to say about the Smart proposition to consumers: “We like the fact that Smart is encouraging Filipinos to ‘live more’ and we believe they can with the Nokia Lumia 710. The purposely built, no-nonsense smartphone is designed for instant social and image sharing and the best browsing experience with IE9. The Windows Phone experience on a Lumia device can be amazing for those willing to try it out.
Smart’s Special Edition Plan 1000 comes with an unbeatable 500 all-network texts, 500 minutes of calls to Smart and Talk ‘N Text, and 1GB of mobile data. It is the company’s best smartphone plan ever and is available only until May 8, 2012.
Feature-packed
Touted by critics as Nokia’s “comeback kid”, the Lumia 710 is an affordable mid-range offering which features high-end hardware. For starters, it has full wireless connectivity via WiFi and 3G and boasts of a 3.7-inch multi-touchscreen. A large 8GB internal storage allows users to store music, videos, and downloadable mobile applications a.k.a. “apps” from Microsoft’s online store, Windows Marketplace. Snap-happy users will also enjoy taking high quality stills and footage courtesy of the 5-megapixel camera with HD video capture.
And last but definitely not the least, the Nokia Lumia 710 sports a powerful yet energy-efficient 1.4GHz processor which enables users to zip through everyday tasks for hours on end.
“We are not stopping with the Lumia 710 because soon, we will carry the new Nokia Lumia 610, an even more affordable Lumia smartphone, designed as the perfect introduction to Windows Phone for a younger audience,” said Manaloto. “We will also exclusively carry the Nokia Lumia 900 featuring Nokia’s highest capacity battery, making it the perfect Lumia phone for enjoying media and entertainment on the move,” he ended.
