Nokia Announces Asha 308 And 309 Budget Touchscreen Phones by JideTheBlogger(m): 2:38pm On Sep 27, 2012
Nokia has announced two new budget phones called the Asha 308 and the Asha 309, their cheapest with a capacitive touchscreen.

Both are 2G-enabled handsets with a 3.0-inch, WQVGA capacitive touchscreen display, 2 megapixel camera, multiple homescreens, stereo loudspeaker, FM radio and have up to 32GB microSD card support. The phones come with the usual social networking applications, YouTube as well as free 40 games from EA.

The difference between the two is that the Asha 308 is a dual SIM phone whereas the Asha 309 is a single SIM phone with built-in Wi-Fi.

The phones are expected to cost around $99 plus taxes and will start shipping some time in the fourth quarter of this year. This means they will cost around N16, 000 in Nigeria.

Impressed?

Nokia C1 - C3, X1 - X2, Nokia 201 and co. And ofcourse these new ones are all the same java phones, they all have the same platform, just the clothing/pack/finishing. So choose the one u like, the only difference u may find is one with wifi or one with S40V2 o.s that has whatsapp capabilities... Shikina

what is it with Nokia and their obsession with their ancient of days S40...?!

can't they learn from other manufacturers and start making budget smartphones...?!

a $100 dollar windows phone doesn't sound like a totally bad idea...!

The new Nokia 200 isn't S40 v. it is just purely double sim n nothing more, it doesn't even accept whatsapp download at all. Anyways, I'd really love this 308 n 309 if its functions r half a s good a s it looks.
Re: Nokia Announces Asha 308 And 309 Budget Touchscreen Phones by Nobody: 8:26pm On Sep 27, 2012
