I think the Asha 311 looks great. S40 is a very good OS, perfect for these phones.
As a note: The Asha 311 comes preloaded with Angry Birds (not that it matters), but what do matters is that the Lumia 610 can't download Angry Birds due to too little memory (only 256 compared with 512 for other WP phones). Wonder what Elop thinks about that
The Asha 311 Just gotta have one

Why not Symbian???
S60v5 is better than S40. Stupid decision!
Elop plans to kill Symbian... I Know...

List of OS used by Nokia:
S30 -> Super low end
S40 -> Low end "feature" phones and Asha smartphones
Symbian S60 -> Low end smartphones
Symbian Belle (Nokia Belle) -> Smartphones
MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan -> Smartphones
WP7.X Tango -> Low mem and cheaper Smartphone
WP7X -> Smartphones
Soon the list will be:
S30 -> Super low end
S40 -> Low end "feature" phones and Asha smartphones
WP7.X Tango -> Low mem and cheaper Smartphone
WP7X -> Smartphones
WP8 -> (Hopefully) high end smartphones.
And finally:
S30 -> Super low end
S40 -> Low end "feature" phones and Asha smartphones
Android -> Smartphones

no.. maemo 4 wasn't even a phone.
maemo 5 they added phone functionality but still not a phone
harmattan, is a cut down version of maemo5 and turned into a phone.
Maemo is not a phone OS, its mobile computing

Just observe what Nokia has done after the contract was signed.

What is obvious is that Nokia is actually following their strategies. WP smartphones and the next billion. How the outcome will be is not obvious.
They do far too many stupid things. The Lumia 610 is being butchered in all reviews. The main reason is it can't run Angry birds. Silly reason, but a serious mistake. No one wants a smartphone that cannot run angry birds.

Meh, seriously nokia why do you still spend money on such crap?
Use belle fp2 for this, or meego/meltemi or whatever.
