Lumia 710 a MUCH better value than the 800

[ballroomdru]

Hey, if you really think about it, the Lumia 710 is a much better value than the 800. Why do I say this? The 710 and 800 share the same processor, same amount of ram, and the same software. If the Lumia 800 comes out at a cost of $200 on contract then you are paying an extra $150 for 8 gigs more storage, a slightly larger AMOLED display, and a non-removable battery.

Is the extra $150 really worth it?
What do you say?

The looks would be worth that amount more in my opinion tbh.
I held one at Westfield and it felt really nice etc but i would not purchase one because I like hardware QWERTY as well, looks like my Dell DVP will be with me for a while.

From a cost to performance ratio though, it may be the most high value phone to come out in a while.

Nope. The bigger screen, front facing camera and memory all make the price well worth it.

If I have the money yes it is worth it. It's like buying a Porsche booster instead of a 911 because they are both from the same company. No matter what you do or how you sell it you will still have the lower model.

Actually it all depends on use. If you are gonna use the 16GB, sure it may be worth it.

The screen is gonna be very subjective. AMOLED PenTile vs. IPS. Apple and iPhone users have screamed how well their IPS displays are on various devices. Looks are subjective as well.

I will say that it is a great value, coming in even cheaper than the Radar 4G with overall better specs (minus FFC).
