| Nokia Asha 308 |
“If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.” That’s what the saying goes. But
in the case of Nokia surviving in the tough mobile phone market, it
sounds like, “If you can’t beat them, find another niche.” With Nokia
taking a beating trying to compete against the like of the iPhone and
Samsung in the tough smartphone market, it has actually done well in
trying to continue making its presence felt in emerging markets where
the high end smartphones are not that popular. This is where Nokia is
introducing its new addition to its Asha line of phones, the Asha 308
and the Asha 309.
The new Nokia Asha 308 and Nokia Asha 309 phones feature the same
design, with the only difference is that the former comes with a dual
SIM feature while the latter as a single SIM phone. Being part of the
Asha Touch line of mobile phones, the new additions aim to provide users
with a richer Web experience by featuring a new Nokia Xpress Browser
for a 90 percent more efficient mobile browsing.
Unlike the high end Nokia Lumia that runs on the Windows Phone OS,
the Nokia Asha 308 and Nokia Asha 309 runs on the Nokia Series 40 OS.
Both phones are 2G enabled devices that come with a 3 inch WQVGA
capacitive touch display. They also feature stereo radio, loud speakers
as support for an external 32GB microSD.
The Nokia Asha 308 comes with a dual SIM feature with Easy Swap
technology that allows for switching between different SIM cards without
turning off the phone. The Nokia Asha 309 on the other hand is a single
SIM smartphone but comes with WiFi connectivity. Both smartphones are
expected to be available sometime in the fourth quarter of 2012. But one
of the reasons that may make many people eagerly anticipate its release
is its price. The Nokia Asha 308 and the Nokia Asha 309 will just cost
around US$99, one of the most affordable touchscreen smartphones around.
