 the Lumia 610 does not deviate much from its big brother, the Lumia 710. Instead, the former features a beveled metallic edge and comes in bright colors such as cyan and magenta, besides the usual white and black.

Even though the Lumia 610 is targeted at the low-end market, it does not look cheap. It's made of a glossy plastic and features a matching metallic bevel. In fact, this bevel is one of our favorite design elements on the phone, as it adds a special touch to an otherwise unremarkable-looking handset.

The 3.7-inch WVGA (800 x 480) LCD display may not boast Nokia's proprietary ClearBlack technology, but still looks vibrant nonetheless. It should suffice for basic needs such as email, Web surfing, viewing photos and videos.

Even though it's a budget handset, Lumia 610 owners will still be able to access Nokia's proprietary apps for free, particularly its location-based services. For example, Nokia Drive and the new apps which were unveiled for WP at MWC: Nokia Transport and Nokia Reading.

Downside

The Lumia 610 has a glossy plastic back cover, compared with the Lumia 710's matte finish. It has a tendency to turn smudgy fairly quickly.
Inside, there's only 8GB of internal storage, which is non-expandable. This may not be enough for entertainment junkies for storing videos and music.

The 610 is powered by an 800MHz Qualcomm processor and packs 256MB of RAM, which may not seem like much compared with the over-1GHz CPUs commonly seen these days. This is possible because Microsoft has lowered the system requirements for WP OS in order to cater to the low-end market. We have some reservations about that, but will need to have it in our labs first to find out if it has any effect on performance of the smartphone. source-asia.cnet.com
