T-Mobile launched the Nokia Lumia 710 just a couple of weeks ago, but the affordable Windows Phone device has already seen its price dropped. Not that it was ever expensive – even the previous price of $49.99 with a new two-year contract was pretty good.
But now you can get the Lumia 710 from T-Mobile, online only, for only $39.99 (after a $50 mail-in rebate). Yes, that's just $10 less than before, but to put it in perspective, it's actually a 20% price drop. And one that comes so close to a phone's release date isn't something we see very often. This is where Windows Phone bashers will step in and point out that it probably isn't doing that well, sales-wise.
