Here’s some more pricing and availability news from the fall out of the Mobile World Congress, we’ve just reported to you Amazon’s asking fee and release date for HTC’s super-phone, the One X and now there comes news of Nokia’s offerings, the 808 Pureview and Lumia 610 – also a rough scheduling for the Lumia 900.
Unlocked-Mobiles.com is a UK-based retail website, which offers SIM free deals on a range of handsets out there on the mobile market and this is the source of a release date and price for the Nokia 808 Pureview, which boasts an absolutely ridonkulous 41-megapixel shooter, which would make the N8’s 12-megger blush. It also features Carl Zeiss lens (often used from microscopy) and a 4X “lossless zoom” that we imagine could pick up a flea on a dog’s back from 20 paces! The 808 also comes with Full HD 1080p quality video and CD quality sound recording (see our MWC coverage article for more). Unlocked-Mobiles list this multimedia capturing titan at a reasonable £464.98 with a shipping date of April 24th.
Joining in is MWC running buddy the Nokia Lumia 610 – a lower-end Windows Phone device with 800MHz CPU, 256MB of RAM, 5-megapixel camera and new OS upgrade Tango added to its humble arsenal (more details in our MWC coverage article). Coming in at just £164.98 through UM, the 610 offers another inexpensive alternative to the popular Lumia 800 model and rivalling the respectable ZTE Tania – which also finds its spot in the sub-£200 Windows Phone market.

So, what of the Nokia Lumia 900? The when and how much is still pretty vague on this one, but a rough indication has become available through the Carphone Warehouse – which in its “Coming Soon” section features the 1.4GHz CPU, 4.3” displayed Windows smartphone as “Expected June 2012”.
UPDATE:
The Carphone Warehouse has updated its website to now show the phone as expected in May, shifting a month forward from the previously expected June launch.
