QWERTY-packing Nokia Asha 210 goes official

Quote:

Today Nokia unveiled the latest addition to its Asha lineup. The QWERTY-packing Nokia Asha 210 featurephone comes in both single SIM and dual-SIM flavors and brings entry level functionality at an extremely attractive price point.

Combining a 2.4" LCD screen of QVGA resolution (320 x 240 pixels) with a four-row full QWERTY keyboard, the Nokia Asha 210 is targeted at younger users that do lots of texting and have a limited budget.

Nokia Asha 210 is the first handset to feature a dedicated WhatsApp button, which gives you quick access to the instant messing app that comes preinstalled.

The Asha 210 comes with Wi-Fi connectivity and a dedicated Wi-Fi on/off hardware toggle. Sadly the feature phone lacks any fast cellular network support like 3G or LTE, settling for dual-band GPRS/EDGE. Local connectivity is covered by microUSB and Bluetooth.

The Nokia Asha 210 offers a 2 megapixel camera at the back and a 3.5mm audio jack. Its internal memory is limited to just 64MB, but there's a microSD card slot for expanding it by up to 32GB.

The dual-SIM version will also come with support for Easy Swap, meaning you can exchange the secondary SIM without powering off the handset.

The Nokia Asha 210 is going to be available in yellow, cyan, black, magenta, and white when it goes on sale (sometime in this quarter). The estimated retail price for the Nokia Asha 210 is around $72.

How do you know they failed? You don't know what they were aiming for.

Re: Nokia fails again ("big announcement = 2G Asha qwerty)

this a 72$ phone . But the point is nokia don't have after 2 years a successor for the E6 and this is where the big fail . Windows phone will never support form factor like E6 . They could make an updated one by bumping the specs and belle fp2 but they won't as symbian is dead and for asha no matter how they will call it and/or develop it it won't reach symbian level . And also the same apply for E7 but they could it with windows phone 8 .

A marvel of ingenuity. Dedicated whatsapp button.
This must be an all-time low :(

Re: Nokia fails again ("big announcement = 2G Asha qwerty)

the 5 year old E71 beats this phone in every area except processor speed - and has programmable buttons for whatever app you want to shortcut

Re: Nokia fails again ("big announcement = 2G Asha qwerty)

At least Symbian is alive..Kind of..
Well, can't wait for the Asha 501.
Looks better than "this".
