Nokia Lumia 610 comes to the UK courtesy of Clove for $285 unlocked

By now, we know that the affordable Windows Phone in the Nokia Lumia 610 has been launched overseas in some Asian markets like the Philippines, but now it’s making its way outside and into the UK market.

Although it was confirmed to previously arrive in the UK, the budget smartphone is now readily available for purchase courtesy of Clove UK. In fact, they’re currently selling the all-black version of the handset on its web site – with the cyan color expected to become in stock sometime this week. Considering that cyan seems to be the more prized color scheme amongst Nokia’s portfolio, we’re certain that there will be some people holding out for it.

For those intent on buying the all-black handset right now, the unlocked model can be purchased for $285 (£180 including VAT), which isn’t that bad considering there’s no contract attached to it. On top of that, this is an unlocked model that we’re talking about, which means it’s ready to work with nearly most networks throughout the world.

As a refresher, the Nokia Lumia 610 features a 3.7” display, 5-megapixel camera, 8GB of internal storage, and Nokia’s selection of OEM apps that include Maps, Drive, Transport, Music, and many more.

Some stores in the Philippines sell the 610 for around $240 (sales tax included). It was introduced here about a week ago. By about July, that price will still go down. The colors available are Black, Cyan, Red, and White.

well i dont agree with u here cuz none of the samsung windows phone has made their way to the top but in case of nokia u can see both lumia 800 and 900 were hit... all the existing or older fans of nokia will prefer it cuz its also a lumia, a baby from lumia series... it is also more attractive and sexy than omnia M and comes in variety of colours to select from!

i agree with you... i tried to used a demo device of a lumia 800 and 610 in a nokia store and i was really ashtonished by the devices... even though lumia 610 is lower than 800 it still performs smoothly as the 800 and im like getting one soon... xD and Omnia M is not going to be a hit... look at those weired specs... its like abnormal... 1ghz with no 720p HD video... dumb phone... xD

samsung is busy in promoting Android and nokia is promoting Windows OS.... samsung would release a phone with similar +- featured phone against nokia just to get a hold of shares from the market not leaving Microsoft and nokia to have all the shares and yes Nokia Is Marketing Lumia Series with all they got, Dont forget Microsoft is backing up nokia with the marketing of Lumia Series!

@shedez10 look at the whole specs of omnia M it is offering 1GHZ ,5Mp with 720p,FRONT CAMERA with 640 * 480 and a massive 4" super amoled display . look at the lumia 610 is offering 800MHz ,5MP with no720p , no front cam ,and a poor quality 3.5" display. i was a die hard fan of nokia quality 2 years ago and its quality has gone below samsung. and i am not a girl that wants a pretty colourful phone that matches the nail polish like u :P

really?.. 720p?.. according to GSMarena its VGA@30fps... same as the lumia 610.. whats the use of the 1ghz processor then?.. front camera... yes it has but do you often use it?.. cause all i know most people use voice call not video call... and FYI!.. Lumia 610 has a 3.7 inch screen not 3.5.. get your facts right...
