Excellent go and say this to Elop so he can kill the last cash-cow Nokia has ...


Did you even go out of your house to see why Asha sells? Well from what I've asked people in India these are the reasons:

- Nice & trendy designs

- Nice looking software

- Durable hardware

- Enough apps for their purposes

- Easy to use (People who are not tech-savvy can do exactly what they want without having to ask around much)

- Cheap, Modern & Fast (Perfect upgrade from regular Nokia/China OEM featurephones)

- Its a NOKIA!


Now tell me going with Android how would you have nice looking software, easy to use and fast OS on that cheap hardware? Remember the Asha uses A11 chips that are clocked at 1Ghz which is clearly insufficient for Android...

People who are not tech-savvy want something they can just use and that just works at a low budget and Asha is perfect for them...I agree S40 is not what we would seriously use but then for these people they take a picture click send via bluetooth and done; they don't need to find and debug why their Android is acting up...


Yes, Android has more apps and is better for the long-term on proper hardware but then in a country with a low wage even $10 is a huge amount when considering between competing phones...
