The most affordable Windows smartphone from Nokia yet, the Nokia Lumia 610 takes advantage of the latest "Tango" release of Windows Phone 7.5, aimed at making Windows available on more modest smartphones.

Priced at just €189 before tax and subsidy, the Lumia 610 is a fair bit cheaper than the Lumia 710 and an awful lot less than Nokia Lumia 800. But then, the hardware is a lot less powerful too, the Lumia 610 only has an 800 MHz processor, 256MB of RAM and 8GB of internal memory, plus a mid-sized 3.7" 480 x 800 pixel TFT display.

On the back is a 5 megapixel camera capable of VGA resolution video capture, and on the front.. is no camera at all, because Windows doesn't yet support it. All the usual smartphone features are here including GPS, 3.5G and WiFi support, Bluetooth, a multimedia player, a web browser plus some pocket versions of Microsoft Office. One key selling feature with the Nokia Lumia range is Nokia's own mapping application, included as well on the Nokia Lumia 610.

The Lumia 610 measures 119 x 62 x 12mm and weighs 132 grams. The 1300 mAh battery is quoted as giving up to 9.5 hours talktime and 30 days standby time on 3G, which is pretty impressive if accurate.

Windows Phone 7.5 looks like no other operating system, and it is refreshingly different from its Android and Apple rivals. At this price, the Nokia Lumia 610 offers pretty decent value for money as well. Nokia say that the Lumia 610 should be available from Q2 2012 in white, cyan, magenta and black colours.

Nokia's "Asha" grasp of handsets are low value but versatile pic phones, aimed at those who don't requisite or cannot give an expensive smartphone. The Nokia Asha 202 and Nokia Asha 203 are two of the simpler devices in this orbit, retailing for meet €60 excluding tax and subsidy.

Both handsets are real confusable, the Asha 202 is a dual-SIM telephone and the Asha 203 is a tralatitious single-SIM pattern. The Asha 202 has an easy-swap SIM slot in the indorse quality a SIM trainer and a slightly other keyboard, and the single-SIM 203 comes in two dual-band GSM variants compared to one for the 202 ,otherwise these two Asha phones are the assonant.

It looks like a inborn "candy bar" sound, but the 2.4" QVGA pass is actually a essential touchscreen body, making this one of Nokia's "Strike and Identify" extent. Tho' this does not offer the enlightenment of a high-end maneuver, these acicular resistive panels are quite recyclable.

On the confirm is a basal 2 megapixel camera, the Asha 202 and 203 concur Bluetooth, originate with a microSD interval, hold a media player, USB connectivity and an FM tuner and also a 3.5mm frequency socket. This is a GSM-only pattern with GPRS and EDGE aggregation backing only, rather than 3G. Boilersuit the specifications are not bad for this variety of soprano, in our belief.

This is a Periodical 40 maneuver, so your select of applications is a bit statesman modest. Nevertheless, it does develop with Facebook and Twitter proof, a web application optimised for the relatively decelerate collection connexion, several individualized content management tools and it comes with 40 EA games that can be downloaded from the Nokia Outlet.

Inner is a relatively sizeable 1020 mAh bombardment that can knowledge both phones for up to 5 hours talktime and 16 days standby measure in the framework of the dual-SIM 202, with 27 life histrion second for the single-SIM 203. Both handsets decide 115 x 50 x 14mm and measure 90 grams.

The Asha 202 faculty be easy in soul, separate human, prosperous mortal, red and organization emblem and the 203 in silverware whiteness, red and hoary only. Presumably whatsoever markets module person the Asha 203 and few the Asha 202 although doc retailers power be fit to help you get the dual-SIM writing if you exclusive somebody the 203 in your land. Nokia say that both handsets should be lendable from Q2 2012.

Messaging phones specified as the Nokia Asha 302 tend not to be the most titillating devices on the fence, but this specific handset costs fewer than €100 before tax and packs in an stunning quantity of features for that money.

On the cheater of the Asha 302 is a 2.4" 320 x 240 constituent demo and a squeeze QWERTY keyboard. On the stake is a fundamental 3.2 megapixel camera and the Asha 302 also has a microSD receptacle and a USB connector.

Inside, the Asha 302 gets author gripping, it has a fast 1GHz processor, concord for both 3.5G and WiFi connectivity, an FM tuner and media participant positive Bluetooth, not bad at all for this operation of terms grasp.

It doesn't honorable countenance equal a messaging phone from the inaccurate, the Asha 302 also supports varied force email services and now also supports Aggregation for Replace, the firstly instant this has been purchasable on a Programme 40 movie sound specified as this one. So, if you use Microsoft Transfer, you can potentially fit your hands with Asha 302 devices at a calculate of the expenditure of whatsoever advisable acknowledged rivals.

Remaining software includes a web application, party networking services, instant messaging and in some markets Nokia Period Tools. You can download remaining applications from the Nokia Outlet, but hold in mind that this isn't a smartphone.

The 1430 mAh BL-5J firing is quoted as gift most 6 hours talktime on 3G and 34 days player indication. The Asha 302 measures 115 x 59 x 13.5mm and weighs 106 grams. It's worth noting that the criterial income parcel includes a connected headset but no microSD correspondence.

Nokia say that the Asha 302 is easy starboard now in many markets in writer, educator, plum, dispiriting and gilded casual colours. At this sort of toll, the Asha 302 looks equivalent an imploring proffer for both consumers and businesses alike.

The worldwide writing of the Nokia Lumia 900 follows on from the AT&T variation declared measure month, with a few peanut changes along the way.

In individual you missed the Lumia 900, here's a excitable rundown: this is a Windows Phone 7.5 design with a a epic 4.3" 480 x 800 element pass, a 1.4 GHz processor with 512MB of RAM and 16GB of non-expandable minute memory. On the posterior is an 8 megapixel camera with 720p recording beguile, advantageous a substitute 1 megapixel camera on the cheat. The largest 1830 mAh shelling is quoted as gift up to 7 hours talktime and 12 life actor measure on 3G.

The US variation of the Lumia 900 has both LTE 4G and HSPA+ concord, but the worldwide type exclusive has HSPA+, but that console gives download speeds of up to 21 Mbps. The Lumia 900 now supports GLONASS orientating as good as GPS (tho' this may asymptomatic be a invisible movie in the US variation). The UMTS bands are slightly contrasting as fit, but separate than that the two Lumia 900s materialize to be the synoptic.

Essentially, the Lumia 900 is a scaled-up type of the Lumia 800 and it shares some of the really irresistible organization features with the Nokia N9. It's certainly a obedient sensing smartphone that is capable of giving Humanoid and Apple rivals a run for its money, although probably the large drawback we can see is that the show isn't an HD window. Some people somebody also complained that the 800 has sharp corners, especially pronounced when put in a trouser pocket..

If you are superficial for a relatively graduate end smartphone but you don't requisite to follow the crowd, the Nokia Lumia 900 might be an engrossing option. Nokia say that it should board from Q2 2012 for €480 before tax

The Nokia X2-02 is the third variation of this particular handset, following on from last year's original Nokia X2 and the unlovely Nokia X2-05.

It might seem that these old products are hanging around Nokia's line-up like a bad smell, but the X2-02 is a rather interesting device with some useful features compared to the original X2, and with a price ticket of just €60 then it looks like pretty decent value overall.

This is a dual-SIM device, so it can support two active SIM cards at the same time. The second SIM card can be hot swapped via a slot in the side. There is also a built-in SIM manager that can support up to five different SIMs.

The X2-02 is a dual-band GSM device that supports GPRS and EDGE data, so it is hardly a speed demon when it comes to connectivity. On the front is a simple 2.2" 240 x 320 pixel TFT display, on the back is a basic 2 megapixel camera.

It gets more interesting when you see that the X2-02 also has an MP3 player, Bluetooth 2.1, has a microSD slot and an FM radio. One very unusual feature in a phone of this price is an FM transmitter, so you can play music from the phone onto a stereo or car audio system.. or even another phone with an FM receiver.

Another slightly interesting feature is that the FM antenna is integrated into the case, so you don't need to plug in the headphones to act as an aerial. The speaker on the X2-02 is very loud (rated at 106 phon) so it makes a useful standalone radio or music player.

Although this is only a 2.5G device, it does come with the new Nokia Browser which is designed to optimise the web over slow links. There is also support for social networking and instant messaging, plus Nokia Life Tools in certain markets. The X2-02 runs the new facelifted version of Series 40, and although it isn't a smartphone you can still download Java applications to run on it.

The relatively large 1020mAh battery gives up to 9.7 hours talktime and 18.5 days standby time. The X2-02 weighs 93 grams and measures 113 x 50 x 15mm. Of note is that the standard sales package includes a stereo wired headset but no microSD card.

The Nokia X2-02 should be available by the end of the year in a wide variety of colours.

Exclusively available on the AT&T network in the US, the Windows Phone 7.5 based Nokia Lumia 900 is a scaled-up version of the Lumia 800 with a few extras thrown in.

Although the 900 and 800 look very similar, the display on the Lumia 900 is now a 4.3" 480 x 800 pixel ClearBlack panel, which is significantly larger than the 800 (although it has the same resolution). The Lumia 900 also supports LTE (4G) data along with a variety of HSPA+, UMTS and GSM/GPRS options. From the technical specifications, the Lumia 900 could easily be a world phone, but AT&T seem to have it available only to them.. for now.

Inside is a 1.4 GHz CPU with 512MB of RAM and 16GB of non-expandable flash memory. On the back is an 8 megapixel camera with 720p HD video capture capabilities, and the Lumia 900 also has a front-facing camera for video calling. WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity are also included, and the Lumia 900 comes with GPS and turn-by-turn navigation.

LTE gives download speeds of up to 50 Mbps, or alternatively if LTE is not available and HSPA+ is then you can get up to 21 Mbps downloads instead. The Lumia 900 has a specially designed antenna array to avoid interference when using high-speed data.

Inside is a very large 1830 mAh battery, and the Nokia Lumia 900 measures 5.0 x 2.7 x 0.45 inches and weighs 5.6 ounces (or 128 x 69 x 12mm and 160 grams). There are two colours available at launch, black and cyan.

Nokia's market share in the US at the moment is basically zero, and this is a determined attempt to break back into this important market. Nokia have managed to come up with something distinctly different from other smartphones here, but it remains to be seen if consumers will be impressed.
