The let down for me is the lack of SD card, I was looking at the Lumia 620 or HTC 8S, but can't help but wonder if it would be much of an upgrade. Can't afford the likes of the 920 etc

My Lumia 710 has the following
[LIST][*]1.4Ghz Processor[*]512mb Ram[*]5mp camera[*]3.7" Screen[/LIST]
Lumia 620 & 8s
[LIST][*]1Ghz Dual Core Processor[*]512mb Ram[*]5mp Camera[*]3.8" Screen[/LIST]

Are you running out of space on the 710? I'd say wait till your contract is over and then get what's new atm in middle range. I only wish I would listen to my advices. I went from Lumia 800 to Lumia 920 in December even if I could have waited a year or so But my niece likes her Lumia 800 she got from me.

Its more I have to be selective on what I put on, I'd like all my music etc on there, I can upgrade in May so maybe best waiting.

Huawei should have a WP8 phone out by then, too. All except internal memory looks fine, but it's extendable.

That looks good, any idea on pricing?

Here's a DS article about it, nothing concrete about the price though. I'd expect it similar to Lumia 620.

I would definitely wait. There are interesting rumours flying about what new phones Nokia will announce at the Mobile World Congress later this month. Although they may be out of your price range, they may well push the likes of the 820 into your price race.

By the way, the 620 has a micro SD slot, as well as Smart Shoot and Cinemagraph.
