Deal: Nokia Lumia 710 for only 170€ in Germany

German online store Cyberport is currently selling the unlocked black Lumia 710 with either blue or red backplates for 169,90 €, considerably less than the regular price of 200 bucks. For those who don’t like color, the completely black version costs 10 euro more, though we’d just order an additional black backplate then, clocking in at an extra 5,90 €.

While there’s no guarantee you’ll get an update to Windows Phone 8, you still won’t find any better smartphone for the price –  a 1.4GHz Snapdragon processor, 512 MB of RAM, a 5 megapixel camera, and a 3.7″ ClearBlack WVGA display coupled with Mango easily make this device stand out in a sea of unusably slow Android devices, at least in this price range.

The faster processor and better touch response also present a nice stop-gap upgrade for owners of first-gen Windows Phones.

Head over to Cyberport.de to buy the device. Tip: use the mobile site (seems to work in Chrome and Safari only) to shave off the shipping costs.
