Bright 4-inch display and signature Lumia experiences in Nokia’s newest Windows Phone
Nokia today announced the availability of the first Lumia
smartphone in East Africa. The Nokia Lumia 510, is the most affordable in the current Lumia family of smartphones.
“We are pleased to announce the availability of the Nokia Lumia 510 in
East Africa,” says Bruce Howe, General Manager for Nokia East Africa. “There
has been so much excitement globally about our Lumia smartphones and it is
great to now be able to bring them to the East African market, starting today
with the Nokia Lumia 510. This builds on our commitment to bring Lumia to lower
price points and welcome more consumers to the Windows Phone experience”.
Windows Phone is different to other smartphone platforms thanks to Live
Tiles, making it easy to see incoming messages and updates; People Hub, which
brings together contacts and updates from across social networks into one
location, and access to Microsoft Office and Internet Explorer 9 on the mobile.
Unique Lumia experiences also make the Nokia Lumia 510 unlike any other
entry-level Windows Phone. Downloading the Camera Extras app provides exclusive
digital lens functionality to go with the five megapixel camera and built-in
autofocus. Nokia Maps, Nokia Drive and Nokia Transport also offer the most
comprehensive smartphone location and navigation experience available.
The Nokia Lumia 510 is based on the current Windows 7.5 platform,
upgradeable to Window 7.8 which brings great new functionality and experiences
to the existing platform. It is currently available at selected retail outlets
across East Africa in black, white and red.
