Nokia Lumia 610: Windows Phone 7 for cheap?

To get a higher market penetration, WP7 will need to go cheaper. Php 11k is still too high for an entry-level phone in Asia/Africa.

Mozart is still selling for 12.2K-12.9K.

Wow, this is a good phone, but I assume it would not be around 11k, due to the fact of those taxes (which is being stolen by most gov’t officials here in Ph).

But then again, there are some online shops which I think would be cheaper in the market. :)

Same specs with the Galaxy Y? Windows Phone is a premium OS. I once owned a Galaxy Y and immediately sold it because I was not satisfied. The screen alone makes it look cheap.

320*240 ay malayo sa 800*480 sa tingin ko and the 5mp can speak for itself lang if lower end segment ang usapan.. Pero sana it can go for retail at least at 10K max, if titingnan mo lahat ng lower end galaxy at xperia, against 610, I think magkalayo sila sa performance.

i simply dont get the comparison of this phone to Samsung Galaxy Y.

.processor, siguro (unless my big difference sa performance between Snapdragon S1 processor vs. Broadcom BCM21553 ARMv6 )

.memory wise, siguro din

.screen NO. (obviously mas mataas ang pixel density nitong lumia compared to Galaxy Y’s 240×320 pixels, 3.0 in (~133 ppi pixel density) TFT capacitive touchscreen, 256k colors)

.screen size, well mas malaki ang lumia by .7 (its as big as the iphone 4/s’s screen)

.Camera, 2MP lang galaxy Y 5MP etong lumia both autofocus but the latter can do Video recording is 720p at 30 frames per second.)

.built, Lumia is of the elegant size as what reviewers describes it while the Y is of the cheaper built)

.internal memory, 160 mb ang Y and 8G ang Lumia (obvious naman dito, higher internal memory, the more expensive the phone gets)

. then the OS, although apps wise mas marami pwede iprovide ang Android, FREE yung mismong OS, yung Windows 7.5 is a premium one, meaning parang iOS, may BAYAD.

and if you happen to see a Galaxy Y (my brother has one) mahiya ka tumabi sa ALcatel Blaze Duo 918n (my mom’s new phone).

well ON A SERIOUS NOTE.

given the current price point of Windows 7 phones, this is already a good catch plus Nokia ( i still believe Nokia makes good quality phones).

yun lang, sana maPEG yung price sa 11k. but anyways, Widgetcity is always here to assist ha. hahaha XD

cheers.

yeah it’s much cheaper, but with that processor. still u can find a much cheaper android phones, or u can just buy the HTC mozart..

learn to read before making stupid comments bro. the specs indicate 256MB RAM and it will run tango which is intended made for low-end devices.

weird. i thought WP7 has a minimum spec for it to run & to have a fluid user experience? but now this? hmmm.

as soon as this hits the Philippines officially, it will definitely be overpriced, just look at what happened to lumia 800/710 being sold by widget city

In the mid-range to low end department, Windows Phone > Android. All mid-end and low-end Android devices are crap. Only Sony does not suck in mid-end. I’m sure Windows Phone will dominate that market.

no need for ranting dude. Hindi naman ibigsabihin na phone manufacturer sila eh hindi sila pwedeng pumalya. alam naman natin na baguhan lang ang Nokia sa smartphone wars na toh. atsaka take note na kahit anong sabihin niyo eh business is business, and they WILL say just about anything to sell their products.

Conclusion… Windows Phone + Nokia = Amazing. :) With the good quality of Nokia plus an amazing operating system, Windows. The Nokia 610 will be most likely a best phone for teenagers who are addicted to social networking and Nokia Lumia 900 for adults who wants to be up to date in technology.

yung iba kung maka comment parang nakabili na ng nokia 610
