Canadian mobile phone maker Videotron is gearing up for the release of a new Windows Phone for its customers, namely the Nokia Lumia 710.

The carrier has already put the new device on its website, and confirmed that it would be released with a price tag of $29.95 attached to it with the signing of a three-year contract agreement.

Previously, the wireless operator made the HTC Radar Windows Phone available for its users.

The Lumia 710 is one of the first devices that Nokia made available with Microsoft’s mobile operating system on board.

The phone comes with a 3.7-inch ClearBlack touchscreen display, and is powered by a 1.4 GHz application processor, which should provide users with an appealing experience while on the go.

Moreover, the mobile phone features a 5-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with support for video recording.

At Videotron, Nokia Lumia 710 will also be able to take advantage of the fast speeds that the carrier’s 3G network has to offer.

Powered by Windows Phone 7.5, the new device will enable users stay on top of what interests them on social networks, mail, messaging and the like straight from the homescreen, courtesy of Live Tiles.

“The Lumia 710 creates a complete profile for each of your contacts by instantly relaying their information from your phone, email and social networks, making it easier for you to send text, instant or Facebook messages from one spot,” the carrier explains.

“The Group feature lets you group your contacts by category and display them on your home screen for faster access. With these pre-loaded apps, you can always keep an eye on friends and colleagues!”

The mobile phone can also deliver fast Internet browsing, as well as support for gaming and video playback, maps with navigation, and access to thousands of applications available for download through the Windows Phone Marketplace.

Not to mention that it can also keep users productive at all times through the included Office Mobile application. It can easily view or edit documents when needed.
