Nokia’s Windows Phones are on their way to the North American continent, and they should also make an appearance on shelves in Canada this year.

The Finnish mobile phone maker has just announced the availability of its Lumia 800 and Lumia 710 devices in Canada, and confirmed the wireless operators TELUS and Rogers.

To be more precise, the Lumia 800 smartphone is set to make an official appearance on shelves at TELUS, while Nokia Lumia 710 will be launched at Rogers.

Moreover, Nokia has confirmed that the Nokia Lumia 800 will be released on TELUS’ network in three colors, namely Cyan, Magenta and Black.

The handset was made official back in October, during the Nokia World, and has already been launched in a variety of markets around the world.

It features a 3.7-inch ClearBlack AMOLED touchscreen, along with a fast 1.4GHz application processor, 512MB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, and an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with Carl Zeiss lens and HD video recording.

The new mobile phone runs under the Windows Phone Mango operating system and offers support for various features included in the OS, such as People Hub, or access to social networks (including Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter).

The same as Nokia Lumia 710, the Lumia 800 smartphone also delivers support for Nokia Drive, a full featured GPS navigator.

Lumia 710 packs a 3.7-inch screen as well, along with a 1.4GHz application processor, and 8GB of internal memory. On the back, it sports a 5-megapixel photo snapper with support for HD video recording.

The Nokia Lumia 710 is expected to arrive on shelves at Rogers in February and will feature a price tag of $49 when purchased with the signing of a contract agreement.

Unfortunately, no specific info on when the Nokia Lumia 800 will be released at TELUS has been made official yet, nor on the price tag it might feature.
