There is something slightly interesting about the Vodafone 710 which is that it’s made by Huawei Mobile of China, and it’s the first time we’ve seen a Huawei handset launched as a mainstream European phone.

Technical specification of the Vodafone 710 that is inspiring – it’s a 3G phone with a 176×220 pixel display, 1.3 megapixel camera and mini-SD removable memory. There’s an MP3 player, Bluetooth, a web browser and email client and the Vodafone 710 comes in at a reasonable 99 grams. It’s a fairly smart looking handset, and it looks like it’s not going to be expensive either with a 64Mb memory card in the box too.

Vodafone V710 specification:
Network: GSM 900/1800/1900 + UMTS 2100
Data: GPRS + UMTS (3G)
Screen: 176×220 pixels, 262k colours (main)

The Vodafone 710 is simply a cheap device from a third-tier Chinese manufacturer which will probably be perfectly acceptable as a cheap 3G phone, but you have to question Vodafone’s commitment to the 3G platform when this is the sort of thing they churn out.
