lumia 530

Nokia has officially announced its latest budget smartphone and successor to the Lumia 520 -- the Lumia 530. The Nokia Lumia 530 also comes with a dual-SIM variant and are priced at 85 Euros (almost Php5,000) before taxes and subsidies. Nokia's Executive Vice President for smart devices, Jo Harlow, has confirmed that the PureView technology is indeed coming to future Lumia phones. The Nokia Lumia 610 was finally unveiled at the MWC Nokia press event and is positioned to redefine what is “entry-level” for a Windows Phone. We finally got one of them to take out for a spin -- the Nokia Lumia 800. The design and form factor of the Lumia 800 did not depart much from the first Meego handset Nokia released back in October 2011, the Nokia N9. The few physical differences would be the screen size (3.7" for the Lumia 800 and 3.9" for the N9) and the WP7 navigation menu (Back, Home, Search) at the bottom corner of the glass display. Like the N9, the Lumia 800 also uses a micro-SIM card which is housed in a sliding compartment at the top of the handset.
