Nokia Lumia 610 review

Nokia's range of Windows Phone-based handsets is now quite rounded, with the top end Lumia 900 and the entry-level Lumia 610, which I'm reviewing here, topping and tailing a reasonably sized portfolio.

Nokia's Lumia 610 may have a cheap price tag but it feels anything but that. This is a very well built smartphone that offers a slick user experience, but its low RAM results in some annoying limitations. Nokia appears to be the only manufacturer aggressively pushing the Windows Phone platform and part of this plan is a range of products at all price points. The Lumia 610 is the baby of the Lumia family and is currently the cheapest Windows Phone on the market in Australia.
