Nokia Asha 210 was the most beautiful asha qwerty phone especially cyan & yellow.
But i think that the most practical asha phone was 303 Qwerty with touchscreen.
I have used it for over 3 years.The design was weird combining elements from candybar phones & Qwerty phones also.Very capable phone including 3G,
Wi-Fi,WhatsApp,YouTube,nice loudspeaker,2.6'' Inches display,S40 and a good battery.
Nokia asha series included many good phones.

Last line of this topic was right: Nokia lost the reason to exist.
- and i dont know why they still exist, is no more the same Nokia, never will be because Nokia lost their home country, their home workers and now live in China with all the same looking people.
So, Nokia you could dir...i never remember you because i never like yoi anyway.

Never been interested in Nokia
But bought SonyEricssons version of a Asha 303, the M1 Aspen, a real smartphone with WM6.5.3 which I still got, but haven't touch the Aspen for years.
But with it's tiny screen, even smaller keyboard, weak cpu and on top of it the cumbersome MS WinMobile.
It was totally unusable as both a hand/pocket computer and as a cellphone.
I guess these phone was some kind of milestones tough for road to smartphones that will replace home computer one day sooner or later.

Nokia was invincible in their time because they were damn strong, reliable and did most of the basics right, which was required by the end users. Price wise they were not really cheap but reliable. And that is the reason which took Nokia to the heights. If they want to do the same, they need to go back to their roots of reliability.

I hope HMD/Nokia should revive the Asha phones. This will strengthen the market share to make the foundation stronger and selling it well. But reviving that will take a long time to get back it's Asha OS.
I know that there is Android GO which is new, better and efficient, but it's still not so good compared to that Asha OS. So it will better if HMD/Nokia could make a slight upgrade compared to the original Asha OS that it does not have that new feature.

'ASHA Series' which indirectly means dumping junk in the Indian market for $40 extra while milking the Nokia brand name. This will burn just like Nokia's Androids which are quite simply, disappointing, along with an added $40 price tag.

Nokia Asha 303. Damn that was one really practical and durable phone. Kept it for 2 years and punished it in the harshest possible way, yet it managed to stay with me for as long as it could.
