Nokia 710 coming out on Rogers really soon. No contract price of 250 which isn't bad. I think I'll pick it up as a backup phone and play with Windows Mobile as well. They've arrived in some dealers on the east coast.

The 710 is already being sold at some Rogers locations (none in Nanaimo) for $250 bought outright. Seems like a pretty good deal. It is petraband so it can also work on wind.
its not pentaband, at least it doesnt say so on the Rogers website
Picked up a 710. It's pretty slick. I like it more than my Android already. I found my xperia arc sluggish and clumsy sometimes. I really miss google maps. Bing is included but google maps on iPhone and Android is near perfect IMO which is hard to match. A little worried that most apps have almost no options and the os options are kinda minimal. Pretty solid OS I think interested to see how much the app store grows in the near future.

I dont know about that I got lost trying to find 5 guys in surry using iPhone Maps so I opened up Nokia Drive used it and BAM got there in no time. Try using Nokia drive its free turn-by-turn GPS.
I'm not a big app guy but I highly recommend Fuse if you like RSS blogs, Foursquare, Rowi (for twitter), Sports Scores, Mystocks and Facebook if you want. If you have any questions send me a PM or tweet me on twitter @based_graham
Thanks guys. Nokia Maps wasn't pre-installed. Got it from the marketplace. Pretty good Just got my phone today so I'll be checking out all the apps.
Make sure you check out Nokia drive also the cool thing about Nokia Maps and Drive is that you can download full maps which is pretty cool. Also I recommend APP highlights to find the apps you like.
For games I highly recommend Orbital awesome time killer.
Also if your really into music I recommend looking into Zune Pass for 9.99$ you can download unlimited songs and albums right to your phone. Check it out
Lame sauce. So caller id doesn't work for the most part. Rogers caller id has two components. One is names which shows the name of the person calling regardless of being in the address book (ex: canadian blood services shows up and I ignore all those calls). The second is the traditional caller id ex: 604-123-4567. Caller id works when I receive a call from someone with a registered Rogers name. However any call from Bell, Telus, other providers, many desk phones will show up as Unknown. Annoying thing is when you call Rogers for support they will call you on their line which works because they're on Rogers!! After 3 or 4 tech calls with rude techies and researching online, I found out on some forums that the recommended fix is to call Rogers to remove the 'name' caller id. For my plan Rogers has to break apart my 10 dollar value pack to remove names costing me 2 bucks more. This is stupid because I will be paying more for removing a feature. I'm going to call back until I find someone helpful to fix this.
This is a Windows Phone thing. Apparently the LG has issues too.
EDIT: Kept calling until I got a guy who was nice. Took him 1 min to disable Name ID and now it works perfectly.

So its all good now what did you have to do? My Lumia on Rogers does the same thing BTW hows the phone?
Call them and get them to remote name display but keep the numeric caller id. Love my lumia and how everything is lag-free I just got it to sync with my iTunes library on my mac.

Great to hear that if you love music check out Zune Pass. Zune Pass is a service that allows you to download unlimited amounts of albums and song every month for 9.99$ you can get a free trial from Microsoft
Just picked up the Lumia 710. It's my first Widnows Phone and it's so far so good. Got this as a secondary phone (using iOS as main). First impression on the Windows OS is way better than Android for me.
There is a software update when I plug it into the computer but I'm not sure what it fixes or changes
