Nokia is extending its Nokia Lumia range with the introduction of the affordable Nokia Lumia 610 to the New Zealand market.

The Nokia Lumia 610 has an RRP of NZ$449 and is now available exclusively from Vodafone.

Nokia Australia & New Zealand’s sales director, Steve Lewis, said, “We are seeing real momentum for our Nokia Lumia smartphones among consumers and business users, as well as increasing developer interest and exponential growth in our ecosystem.

“For those looking for an introduction to smartphones, the affordable Nokia Lumia 610 offers a rich social, web and entertainment experience – something that Nokia Lumia smartphones are becoming synonymous with. It also comes with a full complement of Microsoft office applications,” Steve concludes.

The Nokia Lumia 610 is aimed at people who want an affordable entry point into Windows Phone.  It provides easy access to social networks, web browsing, music, games, navigation and tens of thousands of apps in the Windows Phone Marketplace.
