Nokia officially unveils Lumia 610

PanARMENIAN.Net - Nokia has announced its cheapest Windows Phone, the Nokia Lumia 610, complete with the new Nokia Transport app.

The smaller phone has public transport information for 500 cities in 46 countries, including step by step directions to the nearest station, Slash Gear reports.

Buses, trains, trams and more are covered by the new app. There’s also timetable information, and users pin a specific route to a homescreen Live Tile and see the next upcoming train flagged up.

The Nokia Lumia 610 will come in white, cyan, magenta and black estimated retail price of €189 when it drops in Q2.

Cheaper phones are crucial for Nokia and Microsoft in their battle to win a larger share of the market, analysts say. Nokia last year dumped its own smartphone software in favor of Microsoft's Windows Phone, which has so far had a limited impact due to the high prices of phones using it.
