Nokia Lumia 505 teased, wants to become its cheapest Windows Phone yet

The Lumia 505 has not yet been officially announced, but judging by this recent leak this would soon happen. The device is said to launch first and exclusively in Mexico
The upcoming Windows Phone device was teased on Facebook with the following specs:
“[A] 3.5 – 4 inch WVGA display, 800 MHz single-core processor, 256MB of RAM, and 4GB of internal memory.”
Those should push it closer to the low end Android devices, but still it’s clear that Android covers much greater depths in the low end than Windows Phone can at the moment.
The Lumia 505 is shown in red, and we wouldn’t be surprised to see it in the typically vibrant colors that Nokia devices have. How does such an affordable device look to you?

I assume it will be around $4000 (pesos, mxn), which should be around $320 dls. However, Nokia 510 costs $3200 pesos here, so there might be a possiblity for 505 to be even cheaper, which would be rare due to it's 8mpx camera.

it looks nice for a low-end phone. but nokia has eveer had problems reaching out to the economy class, it lost its footing in the premier segment. thats what nokia needs to focus on with winners like Lumia 920

From what i see, the WP integration on the home screen, it's WP8. Unless Nokia is just promoting it regardless of the OS used in the 505!

I think it's WP7.8 since it has the old Office logo

somehow, nokia manages to create devices with good (also different) designs even if they are aiming for low or mid-range

wow Folks Nokia is really pushing Windows smart phones to be sold at all levels but how well will they work and folks will they continue to sell the Nokia lumia 800 and 900 smart phones and at a lower cost because they are single core CPU smart phones . I hope that Nokia puts Dual core CPU electronics and a high definition screen into the The Nokia Lumia 800 and 900 bodies to create a second high end smart phone with a high definition screen .the powerful Lumia 920 is the only Nokia smart phone to have a high definition screen to compete with the Iphones and Android smart phones. what a shame too
because both the Lumia 800 and 900 are smaller easier to handle smart phones than a big honking more expensive Lumia 920. not everyone wants a super sized smart phone.

After playing with my sons 8X and 810, and my DVP.. I REALLY think from a "regular customer" they wouldnt be able to tell the difference between 7.8 and 8. So using 7.8 (Given by MS to Nokia for pennies) on entry phones, makes the 8 phones that much more of a status phone in those countries.. Makes a lot of sense.

No, it doesn't. Kind of a waste of camera if you ask me.

yeah, 8Mpx and no flash. What were they thinking?

windows phone what? 7.8? if they want to compete with low end android, they better add memory card slot on that thing!

8MP camera for this, and only 5MP for lumia 620

Confirmed: It will run WP 7.8 (most likely WP 7.5 with a future update in Jan-Feb).
