Nokia Asha 200 review

Nokia is back again with Asha series. They have announced new phone, Asha 200. Phone is really cheap compared to other phones which are available in market. When you see any QWERTY phone you will get an idea of its market value, but here case is very different. Nokia Asha is dual-SIM phone with QWERTY and its cheap. You can easily buy it from online stores like eBay or Amazon.

If you are very choosy about colors, don’t worry. Nokia Asha 200 will be available in 8 different colors. Yes, 8 different colors. Normally, when manufacture have to hit huge market they will offer phones in various colors and this time Nokia thinks really big. Nokia wants huge demand of Asha 200. Let’s see its feature and we can get idea if this phone will be success or fail.

Nokia Asha 200 seems mixture of all previous phones launched by Nokia. Asha 200 have S40 interface and QWERTY keyboard and dual-SIM support too. All such cool things in one phone with cheap rates. Once it is launched you can expect lower rates on eBay. This will be huge hit in Indian market, especially among teenagers. There will be many buyers for it. I can also buy it for my mother ;P Seems good phone. Let’s get back to phone specification.

Pros:

1. Dual-SIM support

2. QWERTY keyboard

3. 2MP camera

4. S40 (Series 40)UserInterface

5. Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR

6. microUSB port

7. External memory expandable upto 32GB

8. Standard 3.5mm audio jack

Cons:

1. No 3G support

2. No Wi-Fi

3. No multitasking

If Nokia would have added 3G support, cost of phone would have jumped up. That may be the reason phone does not support 3G. Same case with Wi-Fi. This phone is value for money. Indian market will surely welcome. Surely there will be many buyers for Nokia Asha 200, I will be one of them
