Hmmm much lower specs than the 710...wonder how it'll perform?

Windows Phone 7.5 (Tango)

It's Mango

 

[joytech22]

Mmmm... Not bad imo.
Cheap enough for me to try a WP device without a significant investment.

Might even turn it into a giveaway..? Ehh.

Nope. It's Tango (or Mango Refresh)

"the device will be available for free, costing £15 per month."

You may want to grab a dictionary and check under 'free'...

I thought my Lumia 710 was a budget phone...

No, she means there's no initial outlay for the phone. It's just the way they advertise contract phones over here.

"SlashGear reports that the device will be available for free, costing £15 per month"

Aye, no, no, no, no. No.
You can't leave the sentence like that and expect it to make sense.

Considering the specs on the Lumia 900 which are kind of "old" for 2012... how can they go lower?!

Where is the Lumia 800 series for the USA? at&T? Hello? The 800 is better IMHO... its smaller, fits in the pocket - yet has the same specs as the 900.

Aye... seems like a great way to give WP a whirl without making a big investment into the platform. Thinking of doing that myself...

256MB of RAM! What's this? 2007? Even my almost 2 years old HD7 has 512MB of RAM. But if they sell these for $99-149 (unlocked) when they come to the US it would be a great way for those interested in giving WP7 a shot without shelling out lots of cash.

RAM, or specs for that matter, isn't everything buddy...

Windows Phone 7 is written very well to the point that it runs on hardware that Android would struggle with. That's the way we should be heading, not throwing more and more hardware at the problem.

Accoriding to golem.de that shiit doesn't even run Skype! No thanks, Nokia! You have failed by siding with M$.

256Mb is a plenty of memory (last year I have programed a processor with 256b of RAM ). The trouble is that M$ OSs always eat the memory and leave nothing to the apps.
