And it looks like that rumors were actually true and Nokia will be showing us their cheapest Windows Phone Nokia 610 Tango. It was said that Nokia 610 will not be only the most affordable Windows phone but will be the cheapest.

Nokia plans to target developing countries all over the world to sell their cheapest Windows phone and this will start with Nokia 610. With a plan like this from Nokia, it will surely divide the consumers in the mobile industry.

And who knows, Nokia may have the best shot once they start shipping Nokia Lumia 610 all over the world – they will start with developing countries. In the Philippines, Samsung Android smartphone line-up is quite popular.
