Nokia never fails to impress with its product designs, be it a high-end smartphone or a budget feature-phone. Today, they announced the new Asha 501 – running the company’s new platform called the Asha OS.
For the specs — it has a 3-inch (240×320 pixel) multi-touch display, WiFi connectivity, and a 3.15-megapixel camera. It will also come in a dual-SIM variant and will be available in yellow, blue, green, red, white and black colors.
The phone is priced at $99 before taxes (around Php4,000), which would be still affordable considering that Nokia has Lumias covering the near Php10k range.

andaming nokia bashers..
Pero almost 80% sa kanila hindi pa nakagamit o mga walang alam sa symbian OS..
Nokia Symbian OS, doesn’t need powerful processor and huge ram in order to perform their apps and systems.
As a symbian user, i didnt encounter major lags or any worst performance on their OS..
-I can run opera mini in a fast and fluid functionality
-i can play almost 1Gig size of movies in any format like avi, mp4, flv and 3gp files without any major lags.. (coreplayer app)
And i can also skip or jump in any part of the movie without any problems. The movie is still responsive (android can’t perform this)
-i can do multitasking
-i can play games with a high graphics without any problem (N-Gage games)
-same with iphone ios and samsung androids, my phone has also a animated transitions to became more alive and exciting (kastro theme effects)
-i can play almost 99% of gba games on my phone..
-my phone can handle 64Gb of micro sd card, without any worst or major lags (even the manufacturers say that only 8Gb of external memory can insert into it)
-long battery life
-durable.. This is my only one smartphone that can throw it everywhere with no worries..
Everything that i said is true.. I swear.
Oh, i forgot to say my phone model..
NOKIA 6120c..
It has only 64Mb RAM and 369Mhz processor..
Believe me.. Everything is compact on symbian..
But sad to say that they have a plan to abandon this kind of wonderful OS.. how sad
Nakagamit din ako ng android.. Maganda ang interface.. Kaso pag.open ko ng opera mini, laggy na. Problema nila dyan battery kung ganyan sila katakaw sa ram and processor.
