Hi Sanjib Saha,
Nokia is always best cell phone. I uses Nokia cell phone with very simple features but Now I want to purchase a multimedia set of Nokia. Asha Touchscreen is my budget and it is awesome features. I like it . Thanks for providing awesome review.
read about it in newspaper great features in budget too . the web apps is also amazing
So slow processor , internal 20 MB, 128 MB ROM, 64 MB RAM is too low , lacks multitasking 56k colors way tooo low
Don’t know why Nokia is lagging in features. It is the main reason why most of the useres has switched from them. Anyways thnx fr sharing the specifications.
The all new Nokia Asha range is one of the best launches of the year with lovely features, excellent battery life, remarkable multimedia options and a whole range of technological expertise and all that for a very nominal range. I think Nokia Asha offers the lowest range touch screen phones till date. It is definitely a revolutionary collection for the mediocre spenders. These two newly launched Asha models in silver and gold are a step ahead from their initial range both in looks and style.
