Nokia Lumia 610 coming to the Irish market
Billed as a smartphone thats fun, powerful and reasonably priced, the Nokia Lumia 610 hits Irish stores this week.
The most affordable model from Nokia’s Lumia smartphone range, the 610 comes with a 3.7-inch display, a 5MP camera, 256MB RAM and 8GB memory.
Powered by Windows Phone 7.5 Mango software and an 800MHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, the Lumia 610 is a brightly coloured, fast and user-friendly entry-level smartphone.
Nokia is targeting a younger audience with this device, labelling it the perfect first smartphone and an ideal introduction to the Windows Phone interface.
Focusing on social elements, PeopleHub keeps users in touch with friends, providing instant access to social networks and bringing all mobile, email, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn contacts together in one place. Gamers can also enjoy access to the Xbox Live Hub.
The Lumia 610 comes preloaded with signature Nokia apps like Nokia Maps, Nokia Drive and Nokia Music, as well as Microsoft Office, with access to Word, PowerPoint and Excel. OneNote mobile can be used to capture notes, ideas, pictures and voice memos, and cloud storage from Microsoft’s SkyDrive syncs files and notes for access from any device.
Black and white models will be available from Vodafone, Meteor and O2 operators this week from €179.

O2 and Be Broadband are latest to block The Pirate Bay - BBC News
O2 is set to block its customers from accessing file-sharing site The Pirate Bay from 0001 BST on Friday, the internet service provider has said.
The move means customers of Be Broadband, a subsidiary of O2, will also be blocked from the site.
The ISP is the latest to fall in line following a High Court order in April.
A judge ruled that TPB was facilitating copyright infringement by providing links to download pirated content.
'Obliged to comply'In a statement, O2 said: "The main UK internet providers were ordered by the high court to block access to specific IP addresses and URLs used by The Pirate Bay website.
"We have no option but to comply with this order and will be doing so overnight."
Be Broadband posted a message about the blocking measures on its company blog.
It said: "Our parent company was one of the named ISPs so we are obliged to comply.
"We wouldn't chose to do this voluntarily but we need to comply with UK laws just like any UK business. We're aware of the concerns voiced by members about the broader issue."
TalkTalk is now the last remaining ISP featured in the court order not to have implemented a block on the Swedish-based site.
BT, which was given extra time to make necessary arrangements, told the BBC it would make an announcement regarding TPB in "due course".
