The camera key, in particular, is quite hard to use, as it is very difficult to determine when you have pushed it down completely."{{cite web|url=http://www.techspot.com/review/489-nokia-lumia-710/|title=Nokia Lumia 710 Review: Entry-Level Windows Phone|work=TechSpot|date=17 January 2012|first=Dan|last=Seifert}}
