i know i might be over reacting but some bloggers also think it that way.. since rasing the RAM and processor will cost nokia(manufacturers) to pay more...

thats why i hate that microsoft is on monopoly on WP processor.. only Qualcomm!!! theirs a lot of chips out there and cheap--there's NVIDIA Tegra, Texas Instruments OMAP, Samsung Exynos, and even MediaTek..

i tihnk rasing the RAM will be ok since i think WP8 will be ok with 512 RAM.. the leak Nokia Arrow is running with 512 RAM but that's a Midrange already...

i think if they just make the 3.5/3.7 size in low end smartphone it will cut the cost..

Why would someone be a sucker to buy this? if the price is low enough i think such a nokia would sure beat buying a sheap ass android. lets not forget, wp7.x can run on low specs, android 4.x can not.

no, it is till pricey! asha is below $140 and lumia 610 starts at $180

this is due to the processor since microsoft only allow qualcomm chips on WP.. if they could throw brodcom(the one that power the asha series and symbian series) it might cut the pricetag!

Yes, but the trend is to introduce cheaper and cheaper smartphones, at the end of 2010 when i got my optimus 7 it was the cheapest wp7, and it cost around 450€, the 610s are now one third of that cost... so who knows, things might change again. ill wat for the official announcment, most of these rumours are false...
