At the launch of the Nokia Lumia range in Australia, Nokia has announced that the Lumia 710 will be available through Optus and Virgin.
The 710 makes a rather logical match for Optus; as it’s a tri-band 900/1900/2100 device, it’d fit into Optus’ (and subsidiary Virgin) network as Telstra and Vodafone seek to leverage their existing 850Mhz networks. It’ll also be available through ‘selected retailers’, which can probably be read to mean Optus resellers.
Update: Nokia has indicated that the Lumia 710 will cost $369 outright, and should be available in March at the same time as the Lumia 800.
