The Nokia Lumia 610 is the affordable compatriot of the current Nokia flagship: the Nokia Lumia 900. The Lumia 610 has taken to its budget-smartphone label with some pretty serious aplomb, boasting heavily toned-down hardware and specs in order to keep costs low. The real question is whether or not this Windows Phone 7.5 powered device suffers from its lack of impressive internals. To find out read on as we continue our Nokia Lumia 610 review.
The Lumia 710 is the mid-range forerunner of Nokia’s new Windows Phone (WP) Lumia range of smartphones. The new WP focus for Nokia brings with it not only a change in overall user experience, but some unique approaches to external design and a subtle feeling of style not seen for a while in the Nokia range.
AT&T wasn't lying when it said that the Nokia Lumia 900 would be its biggest launch even to date, taking over all of Time Square with massive displays, a huge concert and thousands of shouting audience members. The show was definitely visually impressive and received a massive turnout with the square seeing shoulder-to-shoulder crowds and totally packed streets.
The Lumia 800 is the head-runner for Nokia’s new Windows Phone (WP) focus. Boasting the same stylish design as the Nokia N9, the Lumia 800 also comes running Windows Phone Mango, the first major update of the WP operating system (OS). We were certainly excited at the prospect of getting our hands on one to see if Nokia has what it takes to get back in the game with its new handset direction and overall we’d have to say that we weren’t disappointed.
Here’s an interesting one. There’s been a bit of talk over the past week about Nokia looking in to some pretty unique notification systems. The general idea behind the whole thing is to design a phone capable of emitting different and programmable magnetic fields whenever a notification is received. On the receiving end of this field will be a ferromagnetic ink that has been linked to the phone and can vibrate at different intensities or frequency depending on what kind of alert has been received.
It was probably inevitable, but now we’re starting to hear rumors that Nokia and Microsoft will be continuing their mobile alliance with the creation of a Windows 8 Tablet. The tablet in question is expected to be released in Q4 of this year and to come running on a dual-core Snapdragon chipset.
We have admit that we’ve never been too excited about a Nokia World event before. Until Nokia made the move to Windows Phone its new and upcoming devices always seemed to be a little lacklustre when compared to the cutting edge designs of the competition. As an operating system (OS), Symbian simply couldn’t keep up with iOS, Android and even BlackBerry OS. This meant that no matter what Nokia did it always seemed around a full generation behind what anyone else was doing.
It was puzzling to say the least when Nokia unveiled its new 808 PureView camera-centric smartphone at MWC. Puzzling not because of its niche target market, nor because of its seemingly overpowered 41MP sensor. What really had us scratching our heads was that Nokia was proudly announcing this fantastic new camera technology and that it was headed straight for the all-but-dead Symbian operating system (OS).
There’s a huge amount of excitement about Nokia’s recent Mobile World Congress (MWC) announcement regarding its new Nokia 808 PureView handset. Overall the 808 PureView is a relatively unimpressive phone, running on Symbian Belle rather than Windows Phone Mango. Unimpressive, that is, until you get to its incredible 41MP camera.
Well we’ve heard about the Nokia Lumia 900 and Lumia 710 US releases (Lumia 900 still to come) and now we’ve finally got some solid goss on the Nokia Lumia 800. Come February 14 the world’s first Nokia Windows Phone will be available for $899 in the US with a handful of bundled accessories.
