Lumia 610 for 250?

[the_tyrant]

no thanks:dry

why not get the lumia 710 for the same price?

I thought the 710 was 229 euros while the 610 will only be 189?

Yeah. Here in the US The 710 runs at about $400 full retail for the T-Mobile version w/o a contract. You might be able to get one closer to that price on ebay, but it'd probably be used. So $250 in comparison isn't bad at all.

Rogers in Canada is selling Lumia 710 for $254.99 w/o contract, I think Lumia 610 should be priced at $199.99 to make it competitive. I'm looking at the iPod Touch and iPhone 3GS as competitors in terms of snatching the younger market.

Front facing camera, access to the app store, and compatibility to a plethora of accessories. I love my focus but there are some holes still left to fill.

The 610 with a 3.2 inch screen and being a windows phone ummm I dont think it will be a good experience with such a small screen. It nice that they show close up pictures to make the phone look big though.

Remember, these are euros. Rather compare the euro prices together.
Lumia 710 is selling for 299,90? ($400) here. Lumia 610 is 189? before taxes, with taxes it would be around 210? ($281).

Sounds good to me. Most importantly Lumia 610 seems to retain the speed of WP.

Wow, it seems like Rogers is cheap for once

Rogers has the 710 at 250$ without plan

The 610's screen size is 3.7 inch, same as the 710 & 800.

In the US, the lumia 710 is 199 + 50 (one month worth of Tmobile prepaid) = 250 in tmobile retail stores only. Its technically off contract even though you have to pay for one month worth of prepaid service

I guess pricing will depend on the market, but it will be cheaper than 710 in general - I hope.

The Lumia 710 in the UK, is currently ?129 ($200) at Carphone Warehouse SIM-free (so no contract, unlocked to any network), so the ?99 mark seems the best price to go for, in what is essentially, a cut-down (lesser) Windows Phone.

Version in United states is selling Lumia 710 for $246.90 with contract, I think Lumia 610 should be priced at $199.99 to make it competitive. The Nokia Lumia 610 is best and newest than the Nokia 710 phone. It has an awesome features such as upgraded windows OS, bigger touch screen, amazing camera quality, battery back, support 1GB RAM up etc.

NewEgg is now selling 610 Unlocked, for $229

White,Magenta,Blue,Black

but you can get the 710 Unlocked for $10 more.

But 610 will work on AT&T and get 3g speeds, 710 will not work on AT&T and only get 2g speeds.

If the 610 was below $200 then it would be worth it..
