The Nokia Lumia 610 is another addition to the Lumia range. It is a lower spec than previous model, using a S1 processor clocked at 800mhz and it has 256mb of ram. It is really targetted at first time users of smartphones. The Lumia 610 was shown off at MWC earlier in the year and Nokia kept mentioning the NFC capabilies of the device. Clove make no mention of this, so whether it has been dropped or not remains to be seen.
Update – Clove have got in touch. This model does not have NFC. The NFC model are out later this year. Presumably when Windows Phone supports it. Nokia have added a video on their YouTube channel about the 610. Here it is.

What about tethering on this phone!
oh yeah. Tethering was meant to come with the 610 and the 900.
Also in the youtube vid it was given a price of 189 euros, thats £152
Yet its down as £180 in UK, is that a case of UK public getting ripped off again!
I would say its no more than £130 handset going by the specs and the look of the 610!
