Nokia reveals Windows Phones for China

Nokia has officially revealed its first CDMA Windows Phones, the Lumia 800C and 610C, and China will be the first country to get them.

According to Slasg Gear, variants, as the names suggest, of Nokia’s existing Lumia 800 and 610, the 800C will drop on China Telecom first in April, with the 610C following on in Q2 2012. They’ll come with the usual Nokia Music, Nokia Drive and Nokia Maps apps, exclusive to the Finnish company’s Windows Phones.

However, there’ll also be some China-exclusive apps and content, including digital magazine downloads from Trends and 100,000 free downloads of Fruit Ninja and PVZ through Nokia’s own app portal. Lumia buyers will get free access to FHM, Harper’s Bazaar and Esquire, too.

Nokia has also kicked off the Be Top developer campaign, in partnership with Microsoft, to find the next big thing in apps for China. Earlier this week the two companies announced their AppCampus developer school plans, with €18m of funding.
