For its part, mobile phone device dealer, Rogers, in Canada,  said it will carry the Nokia Lumia 710, while TELUS another dealer, said it will sell the Nokia Lumia 800.
The buzz around Nokia’s return to the international electronics show, was clearly seen in Las Vegas where only standing room remained at a packed press conference and media had to be turned away, while there was seen enthusiastic customer meetings and a non-stop flow of visitors to the Nokia booth.

Nokia’s renowned Bright AMOLED Clear Black display with toughened glass stretching to the sides of the phone is what catches the eyes in the first contact. The Back, Start and Search buttons on the front of the screen are set in the glass on the front, with an eight-megapixel auto-focus camera with Carl Zeiss optics on the back.
