Yes any connector with a wire will work as an antenna with the phone but it would be better if you use the one they supplied with the phone. It is because that one is designed to pick up radio signals better. It will catch even if the frequency is weak.

Nokia Lumia 710 (T-Mobile)

18.05.12

The Lumia 710 is a decent voice phone, although it has some quirks. Signal reception is fine. Sound through the earpiece is crystal clear, although transmissions let some background noise through on the other end. Wind creates a major problem with the speakerphone, causing it to skip and stutter; it's a loud speakerphone otherwise. 

I had no problem pairing the phone with my Aliph Jawbone Era Bluetooth headset ($129, 4 stars), but it had one irritating bug. Voice dialing had to be activated by pressing the phone's Windows button the first time after I connected the headset. After that, I could activate the voice dialing directly from the headset, and it was accurate.

The 710 connects to T-Mobile's network using HSPA+ 14.4, which is disappointing when you consider the network supports HSPA+ 42 speeds. This isn't a 4G device. I got speeds slightly faster than an HTC Radar that was in the same location, averaging around 1.5Mbps down and .8Mbps up. That's much slower than HSPA+ 21 phones such as the Samsung Galaxy S II  ($299, 4.5 stars), which can get 5-6Mbps down. There's no Wi-Fi hotspot/Internet sharing option on this phone. It's a world phone, though. Battery life was acceptable at 6 hours, 18 minutes of talk time.
