You can only hope that the hard work Nokia is putting into its new generation of devices will pay off. This is because when you look at one of these phones and study the specs you'll realise how much technology Nokia is pushing into these elegant devices...
What I would like to see is Nokia break out beyond the safe options, however, and stamp its identity on the shape and form of future devices. I say this because I think the 710 is crammed with good technology (it even has an FM stereo) and is affordable because Nokia is taking no chances. It's a safe bet.
The mid-range phone packs a lot of tech into the case, which Silicon Republic covers, but they're also hoping that Nokia's design mojo, which is starting to show through in the 710, will continue to be pushed in later devices. For now, the review can be found here.
