Is This the Lumia 610 (low end WP)??
Not much to go on here, but Nok4Us.com seems to have received the following images in an email; claiming that this is the low end LTE/4G WP device we where told to expect at MWC? From the images it’s obviously a C7 styled device running WP; with colorful backs (like the 710)- the concept of it being C7 shaped doesn’t seem that far out considering how much the loved the design reusing it in the 701 (and the astound if it counts as a separate device).
Honestly I’m not a very big fan of the C7 design itself; and well those covers are a matter of personal taste (lets leave it at that); well what do you guys think? photoshop or the real deal?

Well it does resemble what I have heard of a low end Nokia WP in the works…
And once you switch out the covers this one should look quite nice, actually.
As such it would be great if Nokia was able to master the polycarbonate tech in patterned designs – not sure if that’s even theoretically possible though.
looks good…
Looks really good to my eyes, much better looking than Lumia 710. Should sell a lot I think.
yeah, desingwise it looks better than the Lumia 710. Will be a seller in the low-price segment.
Not bad, especially if they can hit the 150 euro mark with them…but I doubt it.
So fake -.-
All these Lumia designs are borrowed from either Meego or Symbian.
Where else? They are continuing the Nokia design tradition.
Just like the 701 is actually just a C7?
The 701 is an upgraded C7 so the design similarity is just okay. But Nokia Windows Phones which are totally difderent phones haven’t started an original design language. They are ripping off Symbian and Meego designs.
Wrong. They are Nokia designs. Let me repeat. NOKIA DESIGNS. It is for them to do with it what they please. It doesn’t matter what OS is on the device. As long as it’s a Nokia, it’s fair game. Saying that it was a “rip off” is implying that it was stolen. You can’t steal something that you already own. Not that hard to understand, right?
I thought we already established Symbian fans only had 2nd grade reading comprehension, so it is actually hard for them to understand.
Even if I agree that it is “NOKIA DESIGNS”
can you be any less insulting????
I could be less insulting, but being polite with the Symbiots hasn’t helped, so I’m just going with catharsis.
Symbiots & MeeGiots vs Windiots
WP wanker!
How exactly can Nokia rip off their own designs?
Nokia is already using some of the same designs in Series 40 and Symbian, which are completely different platforms also.
I think the notion that Windows Phone Nokia’s are somehow stealing from the good old Nokia is sometimes taken a bit far.
Sure, Nokia has publicly admitted to using designs that were already in the pipeline when kickstarting the Lumia program. No idea if this is one of them, but 800 and 710 certainly were (N9 and 603 respectively).
But even when they start new projects from scratch, I’m sure they want to continue using their design heritage and traditions. As they should. These are Nokia phones and they should look the part.
Actually they’re borrowed from Nokia. Oh wait… they are Nokia designs.
I’m wondering of there are separate Symbian/Meego and WP design teams. The Symbian/Meego team are the creative and innovative ones. And the WP team which was sent by Microsoft know nothing but copy.
That must be it.
No, wait…
Totally wrong. The Symbian teams never did the designs, they had to put the OS on whatever hardware they were given. If the hardware guys made changes late, they couldn’t even veto the change to keep on schedule.
Talking out of the proverbial ass are we???
There was a clear cross work between the UI team and the industrial design team, the N950 and the N9 clearly were madee thinking about swype.
Having said that yes its Nokias designs and they can do what ever
Not talking out of my ass at all, I just follow Nokia news more than you do.
Umm… no? The N950 hardware was all done before Skillman and the rest of the new UX-team even started working for Nokia.
Eh… the hardware design teams don’t do software.
So no.
How does a design borrow from an operating system?
All these Nokia designs, are borrowed from…wait for it…
…little longer…
…put down the physics book Mr.Intelligent…
…Nokia.
they used to be meego and symbian designs, but then nokia gave up all rights to those designs to ms as part of the deal to use metro, then ms started to licence these designs back to nokia !!!!!
shocking huh?
im thinking why give lte to a 600 level phone when the 710 doesn’t have it? it doesn’t make sense tbh
Depends on the targeted carrier perhaps (say Verizon…)? Plus “4G” (that the tipster also mentioned) is a very lose term (710 is called 4G as well here).
Why did the C7 get CBD when the N8 didn’t have it? Later products get newer tech.
I dont like its design..Little samsung-ish eh?
The bottom reminds me of the Blackberry Torch.
this picture is likely true becasue who has so much free time to design NOKIA(NOT APPLE, etc)rumour phone after nokia has been beaten heavily by apple
I wonder if that is a 3.5″ device judging from the spacing of the capacitive buttons.
Pretty nice. Playing with colors and interchangeable covers is a classic Nokia strength. They should use it more.
Yeah, probably. Also likely given the need to keep the price down.
Volume rocker? Where is it?
I think I see it there, in the usual place top right… the picture shows two gray areas on the side that may be volume and power. I wonder if this is Tango without mandatory camera button – or is there no camera, I doubt they’d go that far.
This may of course turn out to be a mockup or fake.
Photoshop
Look really closely, and you will see gray buttons on the right. Looks like volume rocker, lock button in the center and camera button down below.
This design is not C7 . . . . And this is beautiful . I want somethin like this.
This, needs to be free on a 2 year contract.. just because you can get this for 50

I bet that Pantech will be horrible in day to day use…
Besides mono polycarbonates. c7′s and n8′ designs are the best nokia design and carrying it forward(even onto other platforms) is no harm.
This is basically a C7 photoshoped, and i wouldve expected the 710 too look like this not the 610
I’d like to see a WP with the N8 design and, a Symbian phone with the N9 design. I love Symbian more than any OS…but WP on Lumia 800 and 710 is very attractive. I would have bought a 710 if it had a better battery backup. I hope that Nokia shows a better performing device at MWC.
Look closely; it’s fake…
Looking at some of the pixels, and having seen some photoshops in my life, I think this is fake.
symbian and meego is dead.so what it matters is windows and meltemi.
its a fake image.
Nokia 610 passes through certification … in Indonesia
http://wmpoweruser.com/nokia-610-passes-through-certification-in-indonesia/
well that picture is not far from the real thing. 701 looks better than that WP model.
Personally I like the design of that 610 and if the price is really less than 120 euros it will wipe the floor with the current Samsung models.
Any idea of the screen size? 3.5″ perhaps?
the 603 is priced around 200EUR so i dont think the 610 will be alot cheaper
Well 610 will propably have lower resolution, less RAM and smaller camera so it could be lot cheaper than 603.
I doubt it, wasn’t the whole point of the new numbering system that it would be easier to compare devices pricewise?
I believe it will have similar res to c6. ~640X360. would be great for low end device. Nokia’s all Symbian full touch phones even 100 euro phones have that res display. so i guess it will have the same……
I don’t think current windows phone supports anything buy 1 resolution.
That will come with WP8.
I can also say all WP7.5 phones out there will not get WP8 update.
great but doesn’t tango support lower res than wvga? anything under nhd won’t look good on metro.
I think only resolution that is lower is the camera not the screen.
Only camera reolution went down to 3MP, screen res appears to be made from 800 x 480 and up due to screen prices declining.
Best decision also, lowering screen res is a bad decision.
By the way..

MS went on record that a while ago that Apollo would be compatible with Mango.
You can read that in many ways of course, 1 is just Mango app compatibility for Apollo and nothing more. The other way around is, and frankly the most sensible, Apollo will come to Mango devices. It might not come to 1st gen devices, but that’s another story.

There is a large 50/50 in here. It could happen but customers would feel royally screwed over by not getting an update, not the right way to build or catalyze that 3rd ecosystem.
It seems like a very very bad move on MS’ part if it happened.
Well my Bet is No apollo for any current WP7.5 hardware.
A bet is different than ‘I know so’
We’ll see in due time.
