After Lumia 710 and 800 handset, Nokia launched two more smartphones Lumia 610 and 900 in the series. The Lumia 610 will be launched next month. It will have the internet sharing feature in it right from its launch. But it is lacking in the older models.

Reports state that this feature will be made available for these handsets with the update of Windows Phone 7.5 Refresh. Microsoft will release the firmware update of Tango aka Windows Phone 7.5 Refresh in June. It is designed for the low end phones that use slow processors and 256 MB RAM.

Certain features of Mango operating system will not work on Refresh because of hardware limitations. But still the experience will be the same. The recent report claims that the Tango update is available for the Lumia 800 and 710 phones and many countries will get it. This brings the internet sharing feature to the smartphones.
