For all those of you who were planning to buy Nokia 610, there is a bit of sad news for you. According to Nokia, the budgeted phone would not be supporting Skype.
The main reason for Nokia Lumia 610 for not supporting Skype is that Skype does not work with Windows Phone that are equipped with 256 MB of RAM.
Earlier, Nokia said that Nokia 610 would fully support Skype, but now, there is a statement given out by Nokia saying that Nokia Lumia 610 would be supported but it would not work as well as expected.
Here is the statement that was made by Nokia regarding Nokia Lumia 610 and Skype:
“Nokia values the user experience provided by its products and services. Therefore, although the Skype Windows Phone version is workable on Nokia Lumia 610, after in-depth testing, we found that the user experience is not up to par with Nokia and Skype’s expectation and decided not recommending users using Skype on Nokia Lumia 610. In the future, users of Nokia Lumia 610 would no longer be able to download Skype Windows Phone version from Window Phone Marketplace. However, Skype Windows Phone version would still be available for other users.”
