Nokia Lumia 710 from Rogers Pentaband?

[wickeddeus]

Sorry, about posting this on the Lumia 800 forum but there doesn't seem to be a 710 forum. Anyway, my question is that there seems to be some rumor that the Lumia 710 being sold by Rogers is pentaband. There is a video of it unlocked and working with Wind. I'm wondering if anyone here can really confirm if it does support all the 3G bands. If so it seems like a really nice deal as they sell it for $250 no contract there and around $300 on Negri/Expensys. Thanks.

be careful

I am having problems with the Lumia 710 I bought! I have it unlocked to work on Mobilicity and it works, however, there is a problem with the phone where any case I put on the phone causes an echo with the other caller Im calling. The other side here's an echo on their phone and it is the Lumia that is the problem. Stupid Rogers store is not willing to take it back and exchange it because I unlocked it! This is crazy, even customer service gives me the work around. Im gonna try Nokia and see what they can do, but I would advise you to buy it somewhere else even though its more expensive, otherwise you can get screwed like me.

Take the case off.....

My wife has the same phone and has a case on hers and sounds just fine.

Now the 1st one sounded horrific without a case, but exchanged it out hassle free.

I can confirm the Rogers Lumia 710 is pentaband!

I unlocked it and using it on Mobilicity. Yes you can buy off contract for $254.99 plus taxes.

The Rogers website is not showing correct frequencies, but use this website as confirmation.

Hope that helps ! I would imagine anyone on WIND and Mobilicity reading this will be quite happy. Also AT&T users would be happy too as the T-Mobile version is not pentaband but since Rogers and AT&T use same frequencies the Rogers Lumia 710 is pretty much a slam dunk. It would still need unlocking but that can be had online for $9. Also note this phone is a microSIM phone so a sim cutter would be needed. Most phone shops will do that for you if you ask.

Thank you very much! That is an awesome deal for a pentaband phone. Only thing missing and a front facing camera.

 

[PaullikesWINMO]

Yes... but the price point can't be beat. For front facing camera we will have to wait for the Lumia 900. Hopefully they make that with Pentaband frequencies. Worst case is they will make a model/version for T-Mobile and those of us on WIND and Mobilicity can use those. Or would would WIND and Mobilicity be smart enough to bring that phone into the line up? Let's hope so!

Rogers unlock

@PaullikesWINMO

Hi, just wondering how the quality of Lumia on Mobilicity is? Read other places that drops signal / slow to regain signal. Have you had that issue?

Thanks!

Sorry... I didn't see this post. So far so good. I have not expirienced dropped calls or anything. I'm primarily in north end of suburbs and quite often north of the area coverage and still get Mobilicity connection. Even when in Stouffville !
