Nokia has just debuted another budget phone with Windows Phone on board, the Lumia 510, that fits somewhere between the Asha series and the Lumia 610. It packs a 4 inch 480 x 800 pixel display and runs Windows Phone 7.5 Mango. Here’s what the device looks like, in all its splendor.
You must also know that this model packs a 5 megapixel camera at the back, it has no front facing camera and inside there’s an 800 MHz Qualcomm processor, plus 256 MB RAM and 4 GB of non expandable storage. There’s even a promise that Mango will get upgraded to Windows Phone 7.8 on this handset at some point. I imagine that this device will have a price of around $150, if I were to speculate.
The problem is that there are already very cheap Android phones, with dual SIM card slots and even better specs, plus cooler apps and lower prices for applications. That’s why the public may find them more appealing than Windows Phones at times. At least the camera on this Lumia newcomer looks appealing.
