Nokia is expected to launch a new Windows Phone device later this month at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, none other than the Nokia Lumia 610 smartphone that will run under Windows Phone Tango.

The handset appears to be more than just a rumor, especially now that it started receiving the necessary certifications around the world.

The new device was spotted through a certification forum in Indonesia, where is appeared with support for GSM 900/1800 and WCDMA 2100 bands, as well as with WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity capabilities.

Running under Tango, the handset is expected to become official with 256 MB of RAM, and with a 5 megapixel photo snapper on the back.

When made available for purchase, the new device should sport a very low price tag, most probably set at around $100.
