In less than a week we expect to be a witness of Nokia Lumia 710 launch in Canada. Rogers Canada will offer the WP device with a super low price tag of only $253 for the unlocked phone. According to the source phones are already on the way to the stores of the Canadian carrier so no delays are expected.

As for the contracts, Rogers Canada comes with the following price tags:  $49.99 with the 3-year contract, $99.99 with the 2-year contract, $149.99 with a one-year contract. Well the three-year contract price offer was similar to T-Mobile’s offer with a two-year contract, thus I’m wondering whether the Canadian carrier will cut the price due to the price cut faced by T-Mobile. Now the U.S. carrier asks $39.99 for the two-year contract device.

But if Rogers decides to cut the prices for the contract version handsets, this might also influence the price of the unlocked version, thus we better wait for the February 6.

After launching the Lumia 710 the Rogers Canada might start planning its strategy of getting more WP devices, such as the Lumia 900 or Lumia 910.
