Nokia’s Lumia 810 smartphone arrived on shelves at T-Mobile only a few days ago, but it is already cheaper through the carrier’s retail partners.

Best Buy has cut $50 off the handset’s initial price tag, and is now offering it at only $99.99 with the signing of a two-year contract agreement with Magenta.

The Windows Phone 8 device was launched in the United States as T-Mobile’s own flavor of Nokia Lumia 820, and offers full support for the carrier’s HSPA+ network.

In fact, it also comes with all the features and capabilities that Lumia 820 was announced with, though with slight changes to its internals and to the outer design.

Lumia 810 features a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor inside, as well as 1GB of RAM to deliver great performance levels.

The handset was launched with a 4.3-inch touchscreen display on the front, capable of delivering a 800 x 480 pixels resolution.

Moreover, it comes to the market with an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with support for HD video recording, as well as with a front camera for making video calls.

The specs list of Nokia Lumia 810 also includes 8GB of internal memory, with a microSD memory card slot with support for additional storage space.

The handset was also launched with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity capabilities, as well as with NFC, 3.5mm stereo audio jack, Mobile Hotspot, GPS receiver, and support for Microsoft Exchange.

Powered by an 1800 mAh battery, the new device is capable of offering up to 10.3 hours of talk time or up to 400 hours of standby time (360 hours on 3G networks).

It also sports various features that the Windows Phone 8 OS was announced with, as well as exclusive applications coming from Nokia, such as Nokia Drive, Maps, City Lens and more.
