Nokia Lumia 610 Budget Windows Phone In The Works?

We know that Nokia will be unveiling a number of Windows Phone devices at MWC 2012 later this month, and now details of a new budget Nokia Windows Phone handset have been rumored, the Nokia Lumia 710.

According to a recent report, the Nokia Lumia 710 will be priced lower than that of the Nokia Lumia 710, and it will come with Windows Phone Tango, which will support lower specifications that the existing version.
