Nokia Lumia 510 now official: affordable Windows Phone with a 4-inch screen

The device features a spacious 4-inch WVGA screen and a 5-megapixel auto-focus rear camera recording video in VGA resolution at 30fps. The Lumia 510 runs on Windows Phone Mango, but it will get updated to Windows Phone 7.8 bringing the new home screen with smaller live tiles.
The new Lumia 510 comes in the usual funky Nokia colors: red, yellow, cyan, white and black.
In comparison, one step up in the Windows Phone hierarchy, the Lumia 610 has a 3.7” WVGA display. This way, despite being a more affordable device, the new Lumia one ups its older brother in terms of display size.
With all of those compromises, you have to wonder what's the price on this. Good news is Nokia is setting the price at merely $199 off contract. The release date is set in November and initial markets include India, China, South America and Asia.

They should have made the handset with wp8 even if the price tag will change a bit if they had to modify the hardware for it to be compatible.

lol no!!! it take android to version 4.1 to make android UI comparable to the smoothness and zero laggyness of iOS and WP...
so buying low end android is not a pleassure! and JB was made to be modern!

You are missing a point, this phone has much better display and cam(arguable) for the prize when compared to the android phones from mainstream brands in the same price range. But it compromises in storage space (no expansion). This phone is a great choice for people who are happy with 4 GB.

i think 7.8 will be like android 2.3 or GB coz a lot of phones still powers by GB instead of ICS...coz i think WP8 isnt really compatible for very low end specs yet!
and 7.8 will be like a low version of WP8... there's mass storage and BT transfer...but i wish memory card slot though...

actually here in the philippines, one of the retailer and i think nokia philippines too already cut the price of the 3 lumias---610,710 and 800.... price php6850 or US$ 167 for 610, php8350 or US$ 203 for 710 and the best price drop is lumia 800 for only php 13500 or US$329 from php23500 or US$573....

but i think 510 is better than 610... i mean its already at 4" screen size!

I think the lumia 710 is a better option. it's just $190 on amazon and has better specs.

Nokia will always be respected in Europe. Galaxy phones are only temporary hype. With the release of Lumia 920. Nokia will get its grip back on European market. For North American market it has serious challange while competiting with Apple

True... India has played a major role in sustaining Nokia in recent days. While company is faced numerous challenges in selling phones in developed countries, the Asha and entry level phones still sell well here. Though I see more and more people buying smartphones in India now. Hopefully Nokia would do well here as always!

Nokia, RIM and Sammy are the only companies that are bothered about India.

Apple is the worst..
They price their products sKy high here in India..(Literally I mean it)
HTC is also not the best
I mean they too price their smartphones high as compared to other countries..

Right...
One would see Nokia and Samsung TV ads all the time on TVs.
There are no promotions by APPLE,HTC,MOTOROLA(it's actually a FAIL in india)

I heard that Motorola are planning to pull out of India, I hope Iam wrong though. I have seen Apple 's commercials, they probably air it only on the month of their product launch. I have also seen some LG ads recently(L series). But i agree I have never seen a htc advertisement till date.
