Nokia Lumia 620: your chance to grab Windows Phone 8 on a budget

The Nokia Lumia 620 has hit stores today offering up Windows Phone 8 at a price which won't break the bank.

O2 is offering the handset for just £150 on PAYG, and if you plump for a contract you'll be able to snap up the Lumia 620 for free from £18.50 per month.

In terms of specs the Nokia Lumia 620 is quite similar to the HTC 8S, packing a 3.8-inch 480x800 display, 1GHz dual-core processor, 512MB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, 5MP rear camera, VGA front facing snapper, NFC and microSD slot.

One for the kids?

As well as the reasonable price tag, which may attract some parents to the Lumia 620 for their children, in true Windows Phone fashion the handset is also available in a number of brightly coloured hues.

The colourful covers can be swapped around, in the same way you could change the facias on the Nokia 3310, with a choice of seven shades to choose from.

We were impressed with this entry-level Windows Phone 8 device in our hands on Nokia Lumia 620 review, but we'll reserve proper judgement until our full review which should go live next week.
