An excellent model, Windows 610 was sold in no time. Little were we aware that Windows has issued a statement restricting “few” apps on the device. Now that we know that this “few” includes hottest games ever: Angry Birds!!!

Nokia and Microsoft are covering the fact under the news that assures of a version of Angry Birds specifically optimized for Windows Phone Tango’s 256 MB RAM. Editor-in-chief, Heidi Lemmetyinen of Nokia Conversations blog said:

While the app is not available as yet, we are positive to announce the release date soon.

As they say: “There is a silver lining behind a dark cloud”. We just hope the dark clouds give way to the light on the other side.

Thanks Nokia for being so considerate!!

Lumia 610 has always been in news: from pre-launch till date, for various reasons. Although Windows Nokia suggests that the handset is well optimized for the 256 MB RAM and 800 MHz processor.

Recently Nokia Lumia 610 was in news for the wrong reason. The phone does not support Skype, video calling app Tango, famous Angry Birds and the football games PES on the handset.

Looking back to the days when Microsoft declared that only 5% of apps in the marketplace will not install on Tango handsets. Little was known that the best apps will fall in the category of this 5%, which could not be installed. Well, not that we know, we would only expect fair business with all the facts mentioned while purchasing the phone. This is tantamount to launching a phone just for the sake of it. Nokia has made great many errors during the Symbian days when it would senselessly release phone that were not upto the mark as per the market demand. With Windows Phone coming into the picture and a new leader taking charge, we had speculated that this “fever”of Nokia will finally die down. But we had speculated wrongly.

Samsung is doing a good job by keeping the galaxy lineup up to the mark. All low end Galaxies get the same treatment. Same goes wit the mid-end and high end Galaxies. With Lumia 610 and promises made by Nokia, we wonder if we are we asking too much?

Lumia 610 users are not in great mood after Skype revoked its support to the device. Skype recently announced that the app would not be available on Windows phones with 256 MB RAM. Nokia has therefore removed Skype from the marketplace.

Nokia China states:

“Nokia values the user experience provided by its products and services. Therefore, although the Skype Windows Phone version is workable on Nokia Lumia 610, after in-depth testing, we found that the user experience is not up to par with Nokia and Skype’s expectation and decided not recommending users using Skype on Nokia Lumia 610. In the future, users of Nokia Lumia 610 would no longer be able to download Skype Windows Phone version from Window Phone Marketplace. However, Skype Windows Phone version would still be available for other users.”

This entire hullabaloo a day after the launch in Denmark is not a good sign for Lumia 610!!
