mjconcept:
Symbian is an operating system,
providing the native software
platform of the phone. Java is an
virtual machine powered
application framework that runs
on top of the operating system
and, at least in theory, allows
developers to design applications
that can run on any machine,
irrespective of the underlying OS.
An application written directly for
the OS (be it Windows or
Symbian) is faster and more
powerful (access to more low
level features) but will only run
on the system for which it was
designed. A Java application is
slower, more limited in features
and, despite of the initial
promise, will not run on too
many systems either.
Symbian phones are more
preferable to java phones
because of so many reasons.
Most symbian phones has inbuilt
gps (global positioning system)
in them that help's u find ur way
and java phones don't. Java
phones can only receive .jar
and .jad while symbian phones
can recieve .jar, .jad & .sis .
Symbian phones have lager
screens than java phones. So
symbian phones are the best.
In your own words, what is the difference between a java & symbian enabled device.

That's the only platform you can get from Nokia for that price range.

phemi3: Apart from the 1000mhz proccessor speed (nokia 306) which is a big plus 4d phone. It has low quality product as 4me. Things like:
Low pixel densitiy screen, below 180ppi (155 ppi)
Slow data means slow Internet browsing (EDGE, GPRS)
Low resolution display (240 x 400 pixels
Resistive touchscreen technology means its
display is less sensitive than you would like it to be
Lacks global positioning system (GPS)
Too little RAM memory (32 MB RAM)
Low-resolution camera (2 megapixels) The camera lacks autofocus Lacks an ambient light sensor for automatic screen brightness adjustment
Lacks a proximity sensor that turns the display оff during a phone call Device
For that price, u don't expect the best. Besides, the specs for the 311 is still fair...and i think that's the only one with a capacitive screen.

I thought the latest Nokia models are supposed to be running on microsoft Os.

Yes they are, but the asha range is a low end smartphone...Not every consumer can afford the Lumia range.

The asha 311 has 3G, capacitive touchscreen, 128mb ram, 3.2mp camera, proximity sensor and the java os is an upgrade to d old java we are used to. And look! It also has usb-on-the-go(which means u can connect ur flash directly to it and transfer files). What else do u want in a LOW-BUDGET fone?

Haba, he was just responding to the specs sheet..you don't need to own a phone to know what it does. The specifications are available online, even for yet to be released phones.

zibitu: what is the difference btw a symbian phone and a java phone
Java phones can only accept java enabled or supported applications, while symbian phones can accept both java and symbian enabled apps.
Symbians have more RAM memory which make it faster and more powerful than Java phones.

So with all these features, how much would you like it to cost?

Coming to your fellow java phone user's aid, abi? Stop defending your actions by reeling out the merits, then backing it up by saying you read it from the web.
Just admit that you bought one thinking it's S60 phones only to discover it's a mere java. And now consoling yourselves by pointing out the crappy merits!

The phones have only being announced, that means they aren't available for shipping yet. I'm sure you don't understand what a low end smartphone means. Be informed

Ouch! That's a low blow.
Sure, I do. Go to any place that sell mobile phones, you will find scores of them. One thing they all have in common is the touch screen capability. They are also very cheap. And one other thing; they are mostly manufactured in China.
That's what a low end smart-phone means, Bro.
Btw, before X6 which I'm currently using was made available to the market, there were already many chinese imitation being sold to unsuspecting victims. So your theory doesn't really matter in Nigeria.
The joke's on you.

Dude, I don't need to feel good about myself, because this is not a competition.
Denial? I'm not the one that bought the chinese imitation, am I?

A low end smartphone according to u is a very cheap touchscreen device mostly made in China....lol #issokay
Are u also aware that most phones are launched in major markets first?? So it'll always take a while for u to see them in the Nigerian market. Actually, i don't get the sense you're trying to make with your posts.

I wonder why Nokia keeps making all these s40 devices, don't they have enough of them already? The C5-04, C5-05 & C5-06 fall within the same price range and they have better specs, running on the s60 rel.5 platform.

Re: Nokia Asha - Cheap Touchscreen Phones - Launched by EvilBrain1(m): 6:11pm On Jun 07, 2012
It's super cheap smartphones like these that are going to be Nokia's salvation. And make no mistake, these are smartphones. They are full touch, run apps (even if it's just java), and can access the internet. If these aren't smartphones then neither was the original iphone.

If Nokia can deliver on their promise of porting Qt to s40, then they'll inherit most of the Qt symbian and meego apps and Nokia will have a very compelling smartphone platform at a price nobody can match.

These phones are going to sell like crazy.

Yes bro, apps developed with Qt are the best, they have very nice UI. If nokia can actually port Qt to their s40s, they're really gonna make gain.

Nobody here is comparing one operating system with another. The issue is the Asha range of touchscreens just announced.
