Launching In June, More Of Your Customers Will Now Be On Mobile Web. Is Your Web Site Mobile Friendly For Them?
The affordable Nokia 610 phone caters to the lower end of the mobile phone market, and offers a tiny 256mb of memory and internal memory of 8 GB. It’s 3.7” screen, will run on the Windows Phone 7.5 operating system, and will come with Nokia’s own drive, maps and music apps.
The Nokia can deliver detailed navigation, off-line maps and some pre-loaded music on top of ability for calls, messaging and access to the internet. However the Nokia phone will not carry Skype, or have the capability to have Skype.
Some think that not including Skype could make the phone unattractive to the true lower-end customers, as the free phone calls it offers are a must for customers on a lower budget.
Nokia issued a statement saying “we found the user experience does not guarantee to Nokia and Skype the expected level. Therefore, we do not recommend users to use Skype on the Nokia Lumia 610. Nokia Lumia 610 users in the Windows Phone Marketplace will not be able to download Skype, Windows Phone version.”
The phone is geared for the emerging African and Indian markets, where cheap phones with internet access are being embraced much faster than PCs with internet connections.
