the new budget entry?
compare to 710, which one have better spec?

saw the spec edi..only 800mhz processor, but still didn't lag?

ooo...now you worry me much
but i still think it won't lag so much cos of the new tango os

im leaning toward adreno 205
lol even nokia own site didn't stat it

yeah really good price for it, so you're going for this one?
but for alittle more can get the 710, so im kinda conflicted
sorry l8 reply

haha i feel you mang !
my hand damn itchy too since the launching in sg

hey want to join my chat threa in /k/
i sked tht i will derail this topic

it can be retail at RM699

price for 610 in philippines is 11000php while 800 is 23500php...which means, it should be retailed at around rm789...i'm hope it will cost us around 699 to 749

two thumbs up for lumia 610. bought it for my mum today. + rm 69 for screen protector, car charger and the membership (10% d/c for accessories). problem is the casing is not in stores yet.

its good for the price range. better value compared to samsung galaxy W and galaxy ace IMHO, if you are not looking at the OS. the camera is good, and touch focus, clear with flash. the screen is very bright and sharp compared to the galaxy ace. it may be to early to tell, but no feel of lag for now.

get the standard package only..i think if wait till the official launch, definately will get some freebies..the first shop that i went to is selling it for 750! (the one listed in nokia website in wangsa walk mall)..bought mine at carrefour wangsa maju at 699..currently using normal sim card, havent change/cut to mini size yet

Pullpage ad in The Star. Kinda nice focus.

Added on May 11, 2012, 2:21 pmBtw, it's available for RM 149 under 2 years 3gb contract from Maxis. Too bad it ain't free.

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.

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

does this phone lag? kinda like the designs than 710. not much videos in youtube about this phone. is it all windows phone cant hav numerical keypad for messaging? dont like full qwerty keyboard coz fat finger XD

sadly both games are not supported by 610...maybe still early becos remeber reading microsoft saying they will try to make it compatible....but for internet n fb its awesome becos almost everything is intergrated

i dont know about anybody else but 4 me the camera is good compared to ace..i own ace b4...so i can give comment la...this phone MAY get those games but dont know la....i got my set for rm629

as i've said b4.. i think this phone is alot nicer than 710 is term of design..smooth also compare to 710...

the bazaar is only for unlock phone but so far still cannot confirm if those tool can hack 610 or not becos its still new....but hack is only my last resort if i really fed up with wp restriction....in customization android is the best..just a reminder for those thinking of buying this phone....it has LIMITATION such as no BLUTOOH FILE TRANSFER...but other than that its a very good phone

quite slow, but still...
wonder what feature is coming with apollo..
after 2 days using 610, i really want to chg hp now
