Nokia Lumia 710 is the second Windows Phone device that Finnish handset vendor Nokia unveiled to the world today, and some more info on what it packs inside has just emerged, courtesy of Nokia's official websites.

The same as the Nokia Lumia 800, the new device arrives on the market with a 3.7-inch touchscreen display, and with a fast 1.4GHz application processor for increased performance capabilities.

The new device also sports 512MB of RAM, along with 8 GB of internal memory. At the time of this article, Nokia UK's website says that it is expandable with micro-SD cards to up to 24 GB (it supports memory cards of max 16 GB).

Considering the fact that Nokia Lumia 800 does not offer the possibility to expand the available internal memory, it sounds great that Lumia 710 will provide users with this ability.

The specs list of this device also includes a 5-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with auto-focus, LED flash and video recording capabilities.

Nokia Lumia 710 was also packed with WLAN IEEE 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1 +EDR connectivity, as well as with 3.5mm AHJ Connector and USB 2.0 High-Speed port.

The new device also packs USB Mass Storage capabilities, along with support for WCDMA, EDGE Class B, GPRS Class B, HSDPA Cat10 14.4 Mbps and HSUPA Cat6 5.76 Mbps.

The handset is powered by a 1300mAh battery that can deliver up to 6.9 hours of talk time, or up to 400 hours of standby time.

The new device also offers appealing capabilities powered by the Windows Phone operating system, including Notes, Calendar, To-do list, detailed contact information, or the HTML5-enabled Internet Explorer 9 mobile browser and Bing.

In the People's Hub, users will find various means to stay connected at all times with their friends and family, including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, email, Chat, and SMS.

The new device is expected to become available in a number of 6 markets in the near future, and should hit the shelves at over 30 carriers and retailers. It will feature a price tag of 270 EUR ($375) before taxes.
