Nokia announces Cheapest Lumia Smartphone, Lumia 610

At the Mobile World Congress, Nokia has announced a new smartphone, a low-end model: the Lumia 610.

With only 256 MB of RAM, it's definitely the least powerful Lumia we've seen so far. However, Nokia claims that the good work Microsoft has done with Windows Phone 7.5 has enabled them to expand the platform onto less powerful devices. In other words, the Lumia 610 shouldn't feel too sluggy in day to day operation.

Like all Lumias, the 610 comes with a neat bundle of extras. Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn integration are all present, as is Xbox Live for those who are into mobile gaming.

The device also comes with Nokia Maps, Nokia Drive, Nokia Transport and Nokia Music.
Nokia Lumia 610 comes in blue, silver, magenta and black, and retails for 189 euros.
