Nokia Lumia 510 spotted in the wild, 4″, expected around 150USD coming to China by the holidays.
Here’s a hands on of the Nokia Lumia 510 that was spotted about a couple of weeks back.
As known from the last appearance, this phone will sport a not-so low end 4″ display, but an acceptable 4GB memory with 256MB RAM. The lower end 610 which was priced very well for the features it offers has done surprisingly well at Nokia.
The 510 is expected to head to China at a price of around 150USD – about 93GBP by the holidays and globally available by 2013.

I predicted this phone long ago, even calling it the 510.
Glad to see it finally surface.
(Surface a month back or whenever it was, that is.)
It was a known fact throughout Nokia’s intranet
And it was known prior to Nokia World – even was supposed to feature there
I had/have no insider information. I simply put one and one together after the Lumia 610 launch in the spring. I remember discussing it many times here on MNB. The specs of that device were simply screaming a 510 beneath it, as was the existence of Nokia 500 (and its relative success). It was only logical.
Here is one message where I speculated about the 510 in May:

All I’m saying is that there is a certain mental method, collecting and compiling information, to how I come up with my own analysis and sometimes it bears fruit for those who doubt me, or think I am some elopian astroturfer.
I’m just an avid watcher.
It having a bigger screen, I did not foresee of course.
This is going to be a 7.5/7.8 device i guess, which is a good sign that Nokia, and hopefully MS will keep supporting the earlier platform.
But you know that none of those Chinese S^3 devices that Nokia released ever got nor will get Belle? So it doesn’t say anything about further support
And wp8 will be too different compared to that old ce based os. Why should MS or even Nokia waste any further time and resources on that dated plattform while they need to push wp8?
I guess because they’ve already comitted to WP7.8?
It’s not rocket science.
cause they still have the majority of devices running wp7 after the wp8 launch, and apps developed for the wp7 will work on wp8
But you can see that most of the major companies / developer aren’t interested in development for WP at all or are waiting for wp8 with more APIs an better hardware access.
Good. It is more critical for Nokia that Windows Phone scale down, rather than up.
Keep things in perspective: take India – broadly speaking, the single most important criterion for a consumer looking to purchase a mobile phone (feature or smartphone) is dual-SIM capability.
Consumers across Asia (especially emerging economies – China, India, Vietnam) and Africa still have respect for the Nokia brand; unlike most of the developed, smartphone-saturated world. It is so, so, so important that Nokia has Windows Phones for consumers looking to move away from a Series 40 device.
And why shouldn’t Nokia be ambitious enough “longer-term” to move a S40 (or a revamped successor) up, instead of constantly moving WP down?
Or at least promote them across market segments relatively equally…
Because they want to push S40 down lower instead?
Now there’s a market longer-term -NOT (and you didn’t know that? I have my doubts…)
Nope there wont going down much further into S30 territory (if at all) longer-term: “the only way is up, baby.”
Even if there is some scope for moving down, it’ll be relatively limited compared to room upwards they have.
Why should that be left exclusively for WP “longer-term”?
Not sub’d to this thread (too busy IRL lately :-/) so you’ll have to respond to yourself, &/or for others who may be enlightened by your thoughts/opinions.
Would be interesting to see a dual-SIM WP.
