News: "Microsoft relinquishes the Nokia name for its low-cost Lumia 535"

[L_W_Ward]

So Microsoft has finally created a official "Microsoft" phone but its a low cost phone. What do you think? Nice and subtle or not enough bang for a first phone?

Hi

Thank you for sharing the link.

An entry level phone with ok specs, only 8Gb of onboard storage and 3G only - possibly them testing the water - when it's released into the wild.

Depends on a confirmed price too.

Shame it's not lined up to be released in the Uk yet.

Good point. I would have thoughts that they would have gone for a bigger bang however I now feel they may have worried about that big bang turning into a whistle. Probably best to play it safe with the current market of phones available.

I read about this in another article Liam. They felt it was because initially Microsoft wanted to 'test' the water as it were.... I did hear it was only going to be released in the one colour also?:smileywink:
