I got my first smartphone about 3 years ago and I haven’t looked back! How did I function without this? It’s my way of connecting with friends and family, it’s entertainment, it’s my camera, my music and my source of news all rolled up into one little machine.
Most Moms feel that need to be connected at all times. I recently was able to review the perfect sidekick for Mom!
I reviewed the Nokia Lumia 710 Smartphone which is a Windows Phone on the T-Mobile network. This phone is designed to be completely personalized for you and best of all, it’s highly affordable.
For as low as $49.99, Mom and anyone else in the family can have a smartphone! It’s perfect for the family on a budget.
I love that you can personalize both the inside and the outside of the phone to express you! Available in both a black or white finish, there are different colored backs you can choose from!
I’ve been rocking the yellow back on my Lumia 710 Smartphone!
The Lumia 710 almost seems like it’s been designed for Moms. It features a 3.7-inch ClearBlack WVGA scratch-resistant display (for those curious toddlers!) that provides outstanding outdoor viewing and a Qualcomm 1.4 GHz Snapdragon(TM) processor providing speedy access to entertainment and information on-the-go! That means no more meltdowns in waiting rooms or in lines!
For the Mom that is always taking pictures of their sweet children {raises hand!} the Lumia 710 features a 5 megapixel camera that allows you to take great pictures both indoor and outdoor. Best of all, you’re able to quickly share those pictures on Facebook, Twitter and other social networks in under 5 seconds.
I love that the phone offers the Windows “Live Tiles”. You’ll know right away if someone has emailed you, posted on your Facebook wall or mentioned you in a tweet.
Since it’s a Windows Phone, you’re able to access everything in your Windows Skydrive and even work in Microsoft Office – all from your phone!
You’re also going to love the great apps in the Windows Marketplace that are exclusive for Nokia Windows Phone users – like Seasame Street Workshop!
If you’re on the T-Mobile network, you should definitely check out this phone – it’s got everything you need!
Connect with Nokia on Facebook and Twitter!
The Giveaway
One lucky reader is going to win Nokia’s Lumia 710 Smartphone!
Disclosure: Nokia provided me the Lumia 710 Smartphone free of charge, along with three-months of T-Mobile service to test the device. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
The phone I use now makes and receives calls. That’s it and that’s if I’m lucky. This phone would make me so much more mobile and connected!
It would help simplify my life because i always use my cell and i have just a cheap phone. I have never owned a updated nice phone.
Its a windows phone! All I use is windows, so I can only imagine how easy it will be to use! 🙂
The phone I have now is from the stone age lol This would help me keep track of emails and everything on the go!
I don’t have a smart phone, so this would really change my life for the better!
I think a smart phone would help simplify my life because we are always on the go. I would have a camera/phone/internet with me at all times! I have heard great things about all the apps you can download too!
with a smart phone i can prob sync some of my ipad stuff so that my work can come with me, to do lists, emails.
The smart phone will help me when I’m away from home on business trips. I can stay in touch with everyone more easily.
It would simplify my life because it’s as easy as a touch to get what I need when I need it
I love how the Windows Phone has all the social network updates in one place for a quick easy glance.
I’ve heard about the calendar feature that lets you and your family coordinate schedules…that would simplify my life a LOT!
It would simplify my life by having all the popular social media platforms at my fingettips!

I have a cheap cell phone that I can’t go on the internet but only to facebook and even if I want to click on a link it don’t allow me too!! I can’t afford a new phone so this one would be awesome!!! I can search the web and everything!! Thanks
I’m in a major need for a smart-phone, especially because of my work as a freelance journalist, but haven’t been able to get one yet because of the costs involved. Thanks for this awesome opportunity!!!
This phone would help me stay more connected with access to email and social networks!

I’d be able to check my e-mail more frequently, which is always a plus.
This phone would help me stay more connected with access to email and social networks! Cause i dont have a smartphone
It would cuz it would be like my life in the palm of my hand =)instead of being on my laptop, this would be the easiest way to see all in one, one device for everyone =)
I haven’t ever had a smart phone. This would make it easier to keep track of the things I need to do each day.
Loved nokia always I would love to give this to my beautiful wife
this phone would be great as it seems easy to use which is what I need
I don’t have a smartphone, so this would be really great to bring everything with you on the go! I would love to have access to the internet, email, and calendar while out and about!
It’s easier to carry around than my very old laptop that has no battery.
I am always on the go between my parents medical issues and my own, this could be a real blessing for me!
This phone can simplify my life because its apps will help me to be more organized
That phone would really help with school since it’s so Microsoft based!

Beautiful phone….. I’ll love to see it in my hands.
My phone isnt a smart phone so this would save me a lot of time when I’m out!
I would actually be able to see MMS messages when my daughter sends them. I have an unlocked phone that was originally on another carrier; my son has this phone, and it’s wonderful. I love the Windows phones, and I’m a T-Mobile customer – so this would be great!
this will help me stay more connected while on the go since I currently dont have a smartphone. my husband does but I dont thanks!!
i am a t-mobile user so this would be great for me.. i’ve been using an old phone for 4 years and didn’t get a chance to upgrade cause i am not working for 4 years but luckily just got a new job last week.. it will be a big help for me and my husband too.. i can give it to him or keep for myself… thank you
My current phone is kinda outdated. I would really love to have that Nokia Lumia. Color pink please! he, he.
The phone I have now id the free one you get when signing up with the carrier. I really could use a new one that way I could keep updated with my work emails.
Great giveaway Would love to win this one.
the lumia with live tiles would simplify my life because I would have information and contacts at a glance. no clicking around in tons of apps to get to what I need
it would simply my life b/c the phone looks easy to use and has so much stuff on it!
It will give me a phone that actually works! My “smartphone” has been locking up and I can’t afford a new one!
It would come as a big help financially. Hard times makes getting a new phone difficult!
I am always the one with an old phone! I don’t even have a camera on mine, so of course that would be my favorite thing! I could take pictures of my kiddos whenever! 🙂
My current phone is ultra sensitive and I have constant issues with my service. I think this phone would simplify my life because it looks so simple to use and I can switch my service to T-Mobile, much better than what I have now! And I definitely can’t afford a new one right now.
This phone would simplify my life because it comes with mango and I wouldn’t have to worry about having an old OS on my phone after only a few months of owning it.
I don’t have the internet on my current phone, and it would be nice to look up directions when I am lost out and about
I’ve been dreaming of the Lumia since Nokia announced it. I’m not sure there’s much without it.
By putting all my communication needs at my fingertips
I confess I would give this to my husband. We are trying to make ends meet with 5 kids and one salary. He is a professor and it is a lot like being a mom. Lots of stuff to do without much structure to do it in. He has such a hard time keeping track of whether he is coming or going.
Well, I don’t own a cellphone and need one when I go out. It would simplify my life so I could call my mom and check on her anytime.

I would love that phone! I have almost always owned Nokia and have always been pleased! Just love it!
I’m not sure how it would simplify my life, but it would be fun to have a “smartphone”, just to see what all of the hype is about…lol!
A lot – would love on – think to check email on the go!
This phone would simplify my life because I could have everything at my fingertips at all times. We are renovating our house so when we’re out shopping for things I would be able to pull up all of my ideas and inspirations right there!
This phone would simplify my life by letting me be able to check my emails from the phone. Also, having a camera on this phone is wonderful too.

The Live Tiles would make my life simpler so I could see what is happening without having to get on the computer.
I think it would help me keep up to date with my facebook and twitter and emails!

This would make my life simpler because I do not have a cell phone and I could use this when I went out and ran errands or whatever. I would be able to contact people while I was not home. Thanks for this great giveaway!
This would allow me to keep track of our crazy schedules!
I don’t have a smartphone so it would help keep track of pretty much everything… I’d use it for school with Windows OS and Microsoft Office. The Nokia Drive GPS would help when I’m driving as I don’t have a GPS… and the social networking would help for when I’m on the go.
I don’t currently have a smartphone, so it would help me stay connected when I’m away from home and keep me entertained whenever I’m stuck waiting.
I believe it will help out a lot, I would love to take cyrstal clear pictures of my girls!!

My best phones have always been Nokia and I to try this windows smartphone would make my life so much easier. Thank you.
I share a cell phone with my husband and it is ancient. A new Nokia would help me stay in better contact with my children and simplify my life and all the hectic things I have going on.
It would most simplify my life by being a phone that actually works! My current phone has to be restarted all the time. I love the organization.
It will be my address book on the go.

it would help me keep track of my dad. he is getting up in years and has a dinosaur of a phone. i am afraid it will stop working. plus, with all the bells and whistles it will keep him busy and connected.. which would simplify my life as well. 😉

This phone looks amazing! It would definitely help with entertaining my sweet little gal at appointments and looking up recipes when I’m stumbling through the grocery store wondering what’s for dinner.
The calendar and notes applications will help organize my life.
It would let me check my emails without having to go on the computer and take pictures and facebook.
It would allow me to various things like find my way around and check emails/fb. I can barely read them on my current phone.
