What you’re looking at above and below are photos of what is alleged to be the Nokia Lumia 510. It’s supposed to have a 4 inch screen, an 800 MHz Qualcomm MSM7227A processor, 256 MB of RAM, and a 5 megapixel camera. It’s also supposed to run Windows Phone 7.8. We have no idea how much it’s going to cost, but let’s put it this way: Nokia’s cheapest Windows Phone, the Lumia 610, can currently be had for roughly $225 depending on where you go. If this thing is one whole product tier under, we’re assuming that based on the model name, then it may very well be Nokia’s first sub $200 Windows Phone.

Nokia’s current CEO, Stephen Elop, became head of the Finnish handset maker on September 21, 2010. That means that this coming Friday, the day of the iPhone 5 launch in the United States, he’s going to “celebrate” being in charge for two straight years.

Reporters from The Verge are sitting on some exclusive Nokia Lumia information that they’re slowly trickling out as we get closer and closer to the Finnish handset maker’s press event on Wednesday. Their latest article states that the Lumia 920 will have wireless charging, it’ll have 32 GB of built-in storage, it’ll have a 720p screen that measures 4.5 inches across, and that the camera will have an 8 megapixel sensor. The camera will be marketed as “PureView” capable because of “some advancements in image stabilization and camera software”. Considering that Nokia used the “PureView” branding to promote their Symbian powered 41 megapixel camera-beast-phone, we’re a little upset to see them slap the same label on what will undoubtedly be a generic sensor paired up some image manipulation trickery.
