The device hasn’t been available for very long in the US, and it scheduled to launch in the UK next month, now one US retailer has already decided to drop the price of the device and is giving it away free when you sign up to a new two year contract with T-Mobile.
US retailer Wal-Mart is now offering the Nokia Lumia 710 for free on T-Mobile, and a number of reports are claiming that the price has been dropped as sales of the handset haven’t been as good as expected.
