Title: Mobile Review: Nokia Lumia 505 launched in Mexico, gets a hands-on
Post by: Bibi Lyra on Jan 13, 2013, 04:30 PM
Nokia has been making some carrier specific versions of their Lumia smartphones in the past few months. We have already seen the Lumia 810 (http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_lumia_810-5024.php) for T-Mobile and the Lumia 822 (http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_lumia_822-5090.php) for Verizon, both of which are variants of the international Lumia 820 (http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_lumia_820-4968.php).

Nokia has now launched the Lumia 505 in Mexico, exclusively for the carrier Telcel. The device has a slightly modified design that appears to be similar to the older Lumia 800 (http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_lumia_800-4240.php) but on the inside is seemingly based on the current Lumia 510 (http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_lumia_510-5069.php), although the display is a 3.7-inch AMOLED compared to the 4.0-inch LCD on the 510. The 505 also runs on Windows Phone 7.8.

In the video below (don't bother adjusting volume, there is no sound), you get a good look at the 'new' phone, along with all the accessories that come within the package. The Lumia 505 is priced at 3,499 Mexican pesos, which is approximately $277.
