Nokia #1 again in Finland as Nokia Lumia 610 and Nokia Lumia 900 launch

0. phoneArena posted on 27 May 2012, 01:08

It was a smooth launch day of sales in Finland for the Nokia Lumia 610 and the Nokia Lumia 900; both the entry model 610- and the high-end flagship 900 were the best selling devices for the day although the creeping shadow of the Samsung Galaxy S III could put an early end to the pair's success...

Bad news is awaiting! More alike, phonearena said...

Im willing to buy a nokia lumia 610 but the only thing holding me back is lack of awesome games like temple run and other games like angry birds and fruit ninja have to be paid for.

5. Rocksteady posted on 27 May 2012, 01:54 14 2

plus the lack of skype.

6. Jericho posted on 27 May 2012, 02:06 11

i think you guys don't follow the tech news very much. You don't have to buy them( you are so cheap) they don't work on lumia 610.www.wmpoweruser.com/not-just-skype-nokia-lumia-610-can-also-not-install-tango-angry-birds-pes-others/

What is your problem, Skype's been available for all WP7.5 devices for a quite good time.

13. TR0LL (banned) posted on 27 May 2012, 05:36 10 2

What a crap cheap low budget phone. ...
I wouldn't take, or have it for free!

79. neutralguy posted on 29 May 2012, 07:33

It's a good secondary phone. Good for communication purposes (except skype, for it is not working due to low ram), but don't expect much of it for games.

4. haseebzahid posted on 27 May 2012, 01:37 7

good news but where is the tango update for existing wp's :\ they said will be available on release of 610

59. Rick_BR posted on 27 May 2012, 18:12 1

The Tango update simply lowers the specs requirement of Windows Phone 7.5 without any compromises on performance for budget devices (which is quite controversial, seeing as many apps aren't available for Tango devices because of the low specs).

65. haseebzahid posted on 28 May 2012, 05:13

but i heard it will add some more features for high end phones too wasnt it correct

71. haseebzahid posted on 28 May 2012, 10:03

Samsung has 28% of the market compared to apple's 21%. Samsung's leading smartphones in sales in are Androids (and I doubt 7% of their sales in Finland are bada or Windows phones). Ergo, Android, and just from a single manufacturer, outsells ios. RTFA and do the math next time

31. wendygarett (limited) 2 days ago posted on 27 May 2012, 08:48 1 5

yes apple contain 21% in whole phones, but when it come to smartphone, it almost 40%
samsung's 28% contain non-smartphone device. thats y it pull down android share...
Accept the truth!! SAMDROID!!!

Windows is worse than ios...

33. strikercho posted on 27 May 2012, 08:55 1 7

Mmm, nope mate. How many current smarphone models does Samsung have? 10, 20, 30? How many models, does Apple have now? One. How much of the profit goes to Samsung? 20-25%. How much of it goes to Apple? 80-85%. With ONE phone. Without the help of Google, without copying the design and software of anybody.

NOKIA SURPASS IOS!!!!!

9. rizvi posted on 27 May 2012, 02:35 8 3

I have tried nokia lumia 610 at nokia store in my country. I should say that experience is worse than lumia 710 as phone is feel as not as responsive than 710. I'm worry 610 would bring bad reputation to entry users who want to move to nokia windows phones. The phone looks pretty though.

17. shadez10 posted on 27 May 2012, 07:33 3 10

i personally also have tried the 610 at a nokia store here in my country but i wont agree with you...

its smooth as the other lumia devices... i comapred it to the lumia 800 and open same apps at the same time on both devices... and it appeared that the lumia 610 is just 1 sec behind in opening or loading apps... so its not a worse experience as youve mentioned in your comment...

the only drawbacks is the low RAM and processor...

70. rizvi posted on 28 May 2012, 06:36

I'm surprised you found lumia 610 has smooth experience. But I'm swear i tried 710, 800 and 610. LUmia 610 caught my eyes because its look. But when I tried, omg it lags often. Btw i tried at nokia store in Kuala Lumpur. Different batch maybe?

78. shadez10 posted on 28 May 2012, 23:23

i dont know... but here in the philippines its as snappy as its bigger brothers...

25. Credo posted on 27 May 2012, 08:14 5 6

Well i dissagree with you, i've also playd with it, and it is also as smooth and responsive as all the other Lumia phones ...

10. Bluesky02 posted on 27 May 2012, 03:46 2 10

I do hope this success reflects in other countries as well.

16. TROLL.ISAHA (banned) posted on 27 May 2012, 05:50 7 1

11. dickwyn posted on 27 May 2012, 03:58 4 10

12. smartphone posted on 27 May 2012, 04:05 3 10

Recently Nokia is showing great efforts.

14. TROLL.ISAHA (banned) posted on 27 May 2012, 05:41 7 8

S3 will put an early end to there pairs success......!

32. wendygarett (limited) 2 days ago posted on 27 May 2012, 08:50 1 6

23. 7thspaceman posted on 27 May 2012, 08:01 1 9

I aM GLAD TO HEAR THAT THE fINNISH pEOPLE ARE SUPPORTING THEIR
OWN COMPANY. WINDOWS 8 SMART PHONES ARE THE MICROSOFT OS
SMART PHONES THAT I BELIEVE WILL MAKE PEOPLE NOTICE wINDOWS
SMARTPHONES BECAUSE THEY CAN BE MADE WITH ALL THE HIGH TECH
GOODOES INSIDE THEM THAT PEOPLE WANT A SMART PHONE TO HAVE.
fOLKS NOKIA WILL MAKE VERY POWERFUL WINDOWS 8 SMART PHONES

26. mobilefuture posted on 27 May 2012, 08:18 3 8

The hell is wrong with you guys? Just cuz we like windows phone 7 means you gotta thumbs down?, or say this and that. We know the problems of windows 7 OS so no need to remind us. Fandroids go back to worshipping the little green robot and leave us alone!

Watch when phonearena puts the final article of the shift from android to windows then you'll all be like yeah its good and you'll be a bunch of hypocrites!

39. Credo posted on 27 May 2012, 12:32 1 6

Fandroids are jealous becouse there are a lot iOS users that says windows phone is better and iOS users never talk about Android, its so laggy :D

40. SleepingOz posted on 27 May 2012, 13:02 7 1

WP and ios are very similar, both restricted and limited. The only real difference is the apps. That's why ios users will say that WP is better.

42. Credo posted on 27 May 2012, 15:23 2 9

i have to dissagree, thats not the only reason, other reasons are that Windows Phone works smootly and don't lagg, the UI is totally different from other os'es , and we have live tiles, no other OS has that like Windows Phone does.
And the fact that it don't need multiple cores

45. TROLL.ISAHA (banned) posted on 27 May 2012, 15:50 4 3

Why will it need multicore ? Cause the Os is quarter baked.... unlike Android which is a full os....

48. jackhammeR posted on 27 May 2012, 15:55 2 6

you just can't get over it...you just can't understand that someone chooses windows over your precious "yaahoo-I'm-totally-free" android.

51. SleepingOz posted on 27 May 2012, 16:20 5 1

Right, Android needs more resources because it has so much more to offer, compared to restricted and limited platforms like ios and WP. Real multitasking is one of them.

52. GENARAL.LEVY (banned) posted on 27 May 2012, 16:21 5 1

Totally agree.

54. KOUROS (banned) posted on 27 May 2012, 16:25 4 1

Me 2.

46. TROLL.ISAHA (banned) posted on 27 May 2012, 15:51 5 2

Wait another 4 years till its half baked and half
Restricted....

50. TROLL.ISAHA (banned) posted on 27 May 2012, 16:02 4 1

Did u no, that it took windows 6 years to bake, to bake it to quarter....

58. SleepingOz posted on 27 May 2012, 16:32 3 1

Android may not be as smooth as ios and WP, but it is far from being laggy on decent hardwares. I never experienced any lag on my GSII. Even when it was running Gingerbread. Also Android is a "complete" os compared to ios and WP.

61. lubba posted on 27 May 2012, 20:58 1

Question, now when you talk restriction, what do you mean?

74. Credo posted on 28 May 2012, 14:43

yeah ristricted, you act like every single people on this planet is a developer, it has nothing to do with restricted, what you say is tottaly nonsence, you just have to realize that wp is a good platform, if u don't, okay, fine keep you're eyes closed ;)

41. Johnnokia posted on 27 May 2012, 14:48 2 8

Great News. I hope we can get rid from the crappy samSuck devices soooon.
Thumb me down losers
