    Same as average for Nokia. Roughly like a Nokia 5230, also roughly like a BB Curve 9300.
    The word 'Pentaband' means '5 Bands', from the Greek word 'pente' meaning '5'. For a phone to be pentaband it has to support 5 bands. If the phone has AWS support, it doesn't automatically mean that it is pentaband. The reason Wind and Mobilicity users like pentaband phones is because the reverse is true. We're not the only ones who like pentaband phones though, so please stop referring to phones that work on Wind and Mobilicity as pentaband. It causes unnecessary cofusion.

    Does anyone know if micro SIM cards are now available from Wind?

    [QUOTE=robbie_brar13;14785739]Can any one confirm if this Nokia Lumia 900 LTE Penta band will work with Wind?[QUOTE]

    It will not work on Wind, because the band 4 is used for LTE

    I hope Wind doesn't break the trend of minimal bloatware on their phones...

    Don't worry, Windows Phones bloatware can easily be deleted. Even the Rogers Account app that came on my 710 was easily uninstalled. I think it's a nice feature on WP7 phones where they don't allow carrier bloatware to run freely and hog up valuable phone resources.

    Not to mention, it's not Penta-Band.

    Price is up on Wind's site...

    $0 on WINDtab on $40 plan
    $99 on WINDtab on $25 plan
    $259 outright

    I believe this is cheaper overall than buying it from Rogers.

    I get the same message when I try to set up pre-authorized payment on my account, but I can use the same card to pay my bill just fine.

    Thumbs down Wind Lumia 710 outright price actually $399

    I am a CURRENT wind mobile PAYG customer with an existing phone and I want to switch phones to the 710.

    I went to two Wind stores today:
    Thorncliffe Park
    1 Thorncliffe Park Drive
    Toronto, ON M4H 1G9
    and
    909 Danforth Avenue
    Toronto, ON M4J 1L8
    Canada

    They would NOT sell me the 710 for $259 unless I activated a new line OR play porting tricks. They could only offer to sell it to me for $399. At that price, I can buy from anywhere else for cheaper.

    Well that is pretty damn sleazy of them. You should give Wind a call and see what they say. Hopefully it's just an oddity at the two stores you went to. It seems that it can be ordered online at $259.

    Even when I bought my 710 from Robbers, the first store that I went to wouldn't sell me one because they said since it was new and they had limited stock, they were reserving the phones for new activations only. Then I went to another location and the dude sold me one with no questions asked. Maybe the stores you went to are dealers and they are more interested in getting commission from new activations.

    Go on Craigslist, there may be dealers willing to sell the phone on its own if they have a lot of inventory.

    hi, maybe you can go to "shops at don mills", there is a wind service centre and it also sells phones and plans, the staffs there are very nice and knowledgeable.

    btw it's not too far away from the stores you went for.

    I went back to the store on Danforth today, they again gave me the run around and would not sell it for $259. I called Wind 611 and had them talk to the store (dealer) with speakerphone and they told the employee to visit wind's website to prove the phone is indeed $259. I finally was able to buy the phone, total cost $292.67 out the door \o/
