According to a MWC12 announcement made by Nokia India’s marketing director, Viral Oza, Nokia "will be launching Lumia 610 soon in the Indian market and at an affordable price.”
It turns out that the price for the affordable Tango-equipped handset will be Rs 11,000 (about $220), which is almost a third cheaper than its current Windows Phone brethren, the Samsung Omnia W and Nokia Lumia 710 and about half as much as most Android phones. Lumia 610 is Tango equipped and has the minimum required hardware for a Windows Phone, 8 GB memory, 5 MP camera and the rest recommended.
India has historically been a huge market for Nokia, so it makes a whole lot of sense for them to offer a sensibly-priced Windows Phone option in order to hold on to that. Of course, it's just one front in the battle for Nokia to regain its one-time dominance, since lost to competitors like Samsung. With Lumia 610, Nokia would try to capture that smartphone start up market currently dominated by low cost Android handsets.
