Nokia 7710
InfoSync World previews/reviews the Nokia 7710 and writes - 'The initial impression of the 7710 is far better than that of the 7700 as it feels incredibly solid and well-built. No dud in the design department, it looks absolutely stunning next to the 9300 and 9500 communicators, and the ergonomics are utterly superb. As if that wasn't enough, the 640 x 320 pixel screen is not only of good quality, but in my personal opinion also a far better choice of format than the 640 x 200 pixel one found in the Nokia Communicator series. Chock full of features, the 7710 offers up to 90 MB of memory and comes bundled with a 128 MB MMC card for added storage. A wide range of connectivity options are present, including tri-band GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz and HSCSD/GPRS/EDGE, as well as Bluetooth. A Megapixel camera is also present, as is an integrated FM radio and support for Nokia's Visual Radio concept which lets users interact with radio stations. '
Pocket Lint reviews the Nokia 7710 and writes - 'In all the 7710 is a positive early step by Nokia into a touch-screen interface smartphone and should appeal to anybody wanting to take their office with them. Advanced users might be frustrated at its lack of speed and a faster processor and 3G version (assuming the networks get their act together soon) would be a product to be reckoned with. Gamers will love it regardless.'
