Display of Nokia Asha 210 :
The Nokia Asha 210 has a 2.4 inch QVGA display with a modest resolution of 320×240. Expecting HD at such a price point would be a stretch. But still the clarity of the screen is amazing. The UI elements and menu icons are swish. Navigating wouldn’t be much of a problem unless you are a touch screen fanatic.

OS , Hardware , Camera of Nokia Asha 210 :
The Nokia Asha 210 comes with Series 40 Symbian OS with Asha UI . Social networks are very deeply integrated into the device with Facebook and twitter access right away from the home screen. The UI takes hints of inspiration from Windows family and modifies it a bit further. The Asha 210 comes loaded with Nokia’s cloud based data compression enabled Xpress browser, and loads of pre-installed freebies. And a premium games subscription pack of 15 games. It also has support for web apps and YouTube streaming is supported.
The Asha 210 has a chip which is somewhere under 1 GHz. Though we strongly feel it can hold its own against the budget androids.
The rear shooter is 2megapixel, and there’s no front camera. Although the megapixel count is less. But from our general experience we know that Nokia’s cameras are very clear. It comes with Self-portrait and options are there to share photos on social networks from within the Camera app.
The phone comes in two variants Single sim and Dual sim. It has 64 MB of flash storage. It can be expanded up to 32 GB using Micro SD card.

Dedicated features of Nokia Asha 210 : The device comes with a dedicated green Whatsapp key, world’s first device to have this feature. In European markets it will be replaced by a blue Facebook key.
The best thing about the bundled Whatsapp service is that it will be lifetime subscription i.e. no extra yearly renewal charges. Pay once and use for a lifetime. 😀
Whatsapp has a monthly user base of 200 million active people. This much number of users in itself is staggering. And if even a fragment of new or existing users decide to shift to Nokia then it’s a win-win situation for both the companies.
“On a market by market basis we will have either Whatsapp or Facebook,” said Neil Broadley, marketing director for Nokia’s mobile phones division.

Because China doesn’t have that deep Whatsapp or Facebook Usage. Rather their focus is on homegrown social networks. Which in itself is a commendable strategy.
The phone’s space bar wi-fi toggle is also another exciting feature.

Can i pause any app and go back into it like coming to home screen in android and going back to the app where i paused it?
I’m getting this phone tomorrow. I have a Nokia Lumia 520 but typing on a glass screen isn’t exactly my cup of tea. The problem is that manufacturers are neglecting qwerty phones. They don’t realise there is still demand for these among people who use their phones to message other people a lot. No matter how good you get on a touchscreen, you’ll never come close to being as fast on a full keyboard. I tried it out in the Nokia showroom the other day, and the keys seemed a bit hard for my taste (they might even stress my wrist, who knows). It also seemed a bit too slow, with each letter appearing on the screen with a little lag as I typed. But there aren’t really other competitors apart from blackberries, so the 210 it is.
Hmm, I hope it turns out to be a good experience for you Ashmi! 🙂
Thanks, Aditya! I really love what they’ve done to facebook for feature phones. You can chat in real time on the basic applications, while when I’m on facebook on my Lumia, I have to continuously refresh the message box to see if I’ve got any new chat messages. Amazing how feature phones are able to provide a better experience than smartphones sometimes (specially in the battery department)!

this cell is good but its screeen is too small
