Yeap, looks good....right after the galaxy S advance ad .

1. Price is still at the brand new launch price. Even the best I would sell (for Avaxx) is RM680. Freebies should be had at those Nokia branded stores. I think its probably a Parkson voucher according to my salesman.

2. Took one home for my wife. I've have used Omnia 7, Mozart, LG Optimus and Lumia 800, and if no one told you that the processor in this is clocked at only 800Mhz, no one would be the wiser. The UI is responsive, functioning as if it is clocked like all the others.

3. Body design wise, 610 takes out 710 hands down. The back cover looks premium (at least on the black anyway), the front however attracts fingerprints as usual.

4. Screen wise, its a bit lower quality, probably because of the use of standard tft screen. Reminds me of the Optimus quality, but still easy and ok for use.

5. Yes, internet tethering/sharing is available. One slide and you're good to go, secured using WPA2.

6. Box comes with a much nicer 3 pin slide travel charger, usb cable, headphones and manuals. No casing/cover as with the lumia 800.

Just my initial impressions.

Anyone know where i can get this baby screen protector? I want to surprise my sister for her convo present this wednesday, but i dont want to give her this phone without the screen protector T_T

You are a bit out of luck. I asked, but all I got was they're waiting for China.

Got NFC? Also how's the camera?

someone said that malaysia got the non NFC version. Which merchant is using NFC via hand phone as method of payment in Malaysia?

Not sure about the keypad but so far users here said it's smooth so far.

ok something is wrong, skype cant be installed in my 610. wtf? i swear i read before that MS already settle the RAM issue on Skype with 610. why cant it be installed now? Damn.

Try under wifi. Should work then.

Yes, I read those post too but it was stated that they were playing around with a beta version, and maybe it hasn't been released to the public yet.

hi guys..interested in buying window phone.....b4 this survey 710 n 800 but 800 it xpensive....so my question is how is lumia 610 compared to 710? is it a good buy?thinking of migrating from android

As above, any new owners of the 610 want to comment on the device? Thinking of buying this for my mum since her old Nokia 'Classic' phone gonna mati soon.

Build Quality? Performance? Camera? Call Quality? Display? Anything. As long as got heads up of how the phone performs.

anyone using 610 now? how's the wifi tethering? planning to buy this cos my 3GS doesn't have wifi tethering.

go there and test....if it can load theverge.com in desktop version...then is good buy coz that website use ram a load....if can load that, most of website also can be load

don't expect the quality better than lumia 800...this one is entry and just rm600++....somemore smartphone...even android entry level smartphone also no fight to this...wp7 very smooth

do u feel annoy when you scrolling with lag?

Haha I would want to test it but I'm overseas now so can't really do anything about that.

I don't think my mum would feel annoyed when scrolling with lag. Only on the web browser though? I watched some videos of people doing previews of the device and the start menu and apps loaded pretty fast.

not only lag but hang...wp7 very stable...

why i test the web browser but it take a lot of ram to load large website...other normal apps won't take much ram except games...

i high recommend to buy this if u got budget issue and want smartphone features....even my gf using sgs2 also quite lagging...sometimes she took pic..hang alr...
