it seems like most of people here havent use or exprienced Wp7 . i owned a android and symbian belle phone to be true guys just check wp7 first and then comment it . it is the most fluid os around with no lags and stuck ups and very smooth even on lumia 610 . while its not good that they havent supported skype on it that doesnt meean there any problem with WP7 . its very simple and unique and refreshing when you use it , there is nothing like it in market

This phone is very unrecommended. I would give them 1 over 10, whereas 0 is worst. It's slow, with very limited ability and very unresponsive. With the same price on Android, you can get a better phone with better experience. All you can get from this phone is beauty, but this phone is a no-brainer un-smart phone

Nokia and MS...they mentioned they really look at user experience. did they? or this is just another marketing stunt?
my opinion of Nokia Lumia 610 - slow, sluggish, and not worth buying, better spent the money somewhere else. Get an Android or iPhone 3GS, is still much better than this phone.

Symbian Belle versions like N8 and C7, also with 256 MB run Skype effortlessly, which means WP 7.x require too much resources.

What's with all that talk that Nokia choose Windows Phone to be unique?
That's not true!
With Android they could customize UI as they would prefer and be unique, but not with Windows Phone where every smartphone looks the same!

Obviously, the Finns do not want to upset the networks by packing Skype in...

Good job Nokia.
Better to drop all support for the Skype app then to have a poor user experience.

Nobody see the bigger picture?! MS is mirroring their fail to NOKIA. They use NOKIA as a shield to take all negatives for the failure of WP7. NOKIA shares are going down while MS is trying to fix their fail. Samsung, HTC and others are obliged to produce WP because of patent issues with their Androids. To my knowledge not a single company succeeded while in alliance with MS. That is something NOKIA share holders have to think about. Customers have already voted with their money...

This is The Problem of Nokia, Take a Look At the Price of this Phone, 180 Euros!! At This Price Range it should pack 1 Ghz Cpu &512 Mb/ 320 Mb Ram, Xperia Mini is Better Than This, It SG Y Which has 800Mhz Cpu & 290Mb Ram! C'mon Nokia Take a Turn!
