1.4 GHz
Windows Phone 7.5 Mango 3.5G
Rated 70% by by TrustedReviews (Feb, 2012)The app works well on the Lumia 710 as you would expect with the LCD screen making it easy to see text.
screen size
3.7"
3.7"
Omnia W by GSM Arena (Dec, 2011)The smaller display looks puzzling perhaps against Android’s march towards bigger and bigger screens – for which Samsung are in no small part responsible.
Lumia 710 by TrustedReviews (Feb, 2012)While anything more than gentle panning will cause a bit of blur, the video, even when displayed on a large screen, still looked pretty decent.
screen resolution
Omnia W by GSM Arena (Dec, 2011)Overall it does produce good results with good colors and nice detail with low noise.
Lumia 710 by c|net (Jan, 2012)On the front is the 3.7-inch (WVGA, 800x480-pixel resolution) LCD screen, which is smaller and not as sharp as the full-HD or even qHD displays boasted by higher-end Android devices.
memory
| 0 GB | 0.5 GB | 0.5 GB |
processor
Omnia W by GSM Arena (Dec, 2011)AMOLED is a power-efficient screen technology and the single core architecture isn't a battery drainer either.
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.
camera resolution
| 0 MP | 5 MP | 5 MP |
Omnia W by GSM Arena (Dec, 2011)The 5 MP camera lens is located at the back of the device along with a single LED flash and the loudspeaker grill.
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.

Omnia W by GSM Arena (Dec, 2011)Removing the back panel reveals the 1500 mAh Li-Ion battery, which is quoted at 370h of stand-by and 7h of talk time.
