Review: Nokia Lumia 610 - Better design, Lower price

Almost three months after it was announced at MWC'12 in Barcelona, the new Nokia Lumia 610 is now finally available in Malaysia. Priced at RM 699, the Lumia 610 is currently the company's most affordable Windows Phone and to be frank, it even comes with slightly better design than its older and slightly pricier brother, the Lumia 710.

That being said, the new Lumia 610 comes with much lesser RAM and slower processor compared to previous Nokia Lumia devices. While the Windows Phone 7 operating system still runs fine on the device's 800 MHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 7227A single-core processor and 256 MB of RAM but there are certain WP7 apps that might not able to run on the device. Don't worry much though, the amount of affected apps are actually quite small with around 5-percent out of thousands WP7 apps out there.

Other features included in the Nokia Lumia 610 are 5-megapixels autofocus camera with LED flash and the much needed Wi-Fi hotspot capability which is still missing from Lumia 800 as well as 710. The Nokia Lumia 610 is available in four different colorways and is readily available at Nokia Stores as well as authorized retail outlets throughout Malaysia. Check out our free promotion package at http://www.freepromonow.com
