The certifications won in this case don't offer a lot of detail. The Lumia 610 is listed as supporting GSM 900/1800 frequencies along with WCDMA 2100.

If the Lumia 610 is cheap enough, it could be an appealing device for smartphone shoppers on a budget. The 610 is also tipped for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi support.
