by GSM Arena (Jan, 2012)The browser relies on hardware graphic acceleration to provide smoother graphics (and video) and animation and the JavaScript engine has been retooled as well.

by GSM Arena (Dec, 2010)The screen size is an obvious advantage – though it’s not necessarily how you might feel about it.
screen size
3.7"
4.3"
Lumia 710 by CarrieScreen Size: The 3.7 screen size is good, but I am spoiled by the DVP's larger screen size.
HD7 by PG (Dec, 2010)Very solid phone, beautiful and large screen and the feel of the device is very nice in the hands.
screen resolution
HD7 by P.-C.-Mehta (Dec, 2010)I would not go into much details since others have highlighted features here.
memory
| 0 GB | 0.56 GB | 0.6 GB |
processor
Lumia 710 by Chris-D-Meadows--Chris-M (Nov, 2012)I know its a single core processor, but it is fast.
HD7 by c|net (Nov, 2010)It would have been nice if there had been more hardware upgrades, including the processor and display, but the smartphone was generally responsive during our review period.
camera resolution
| 0 MP | 5 MP | 5 MP |
Lumia 710 by c|net (Jan, 2012)Frankly, I wasn't expecting much from the phone's 5-megapixel camera, but was pleasantly surprised by the shots I snapped.
HD7 by c|net (Nov, 2010)The camera has various settings, including six different resolutions, effects, scenes, and flicker adjustment.
Performance Real world tests of Nokia Lumia 710 vs HTC HD7
cpu speed
Lumia 710 by GSM Arena (Jan, 2012)All WP7 phones use more or less the same hardware (slight differences in CPU clock speed are possible), so any WP7 will run on any WP7 phone.
HD7 by c|net (Nov, 2010)That said, it doesn't have the crispness and vibrancy of some of the latest smartphone displays, and in general, we would have liked to see more improvements or upgrades to the HD7 in comparison to its predecessor, the HTC HD2, as the two phones share the same screen, processor, and battery.
talk time
414 min
379 min
Lumia 710 by c|net (Jan, 2012)Nokia claims the Lumia 710 will offer up to 16 days of standby time and 7 hours of talk time.
HD7 by c|net (Nov, 2010)However, the smartphone did meet its rated talk time in our battery drain tests.
