Nokia Asha 200

Nokia Asha 200 review  Dual SIMpatico

Introduction

Nokia's Asha is back for another round of bargain basement action and we find ourselves wondering how much cheaper it can get. Most of the time it makes sense to be skeptical of the lowest bidder but we've found the Finns' budget lineup to be efficient and dependable.

So, cheap it is. And although there're lots of bad ways to be cheap, the Nokia Asha 200 seems to get it right. It's a QWERTY messenger with dual-SIM support. There isn't a whole lot more to it than that - but Nokia are getting ready to sell big. You don't offer eight - repeat, eight - paintjobs unless you anticipate huge demand.

     

The Nokia Asha 200 in Pink, Aqua, Green, Light Pink, Blue, Orange, Graphite and Pearl White.

    

The Nokia Asha 200 is two phones in one and we don't mean the dual SIM support only. The Asha 200 is literally made out of a couple of fairly recent Nokia handsets. And it's pretty obvious which two ended up in the blender. The Nokia X2-01 provided the S40 interface and QWERTY keyboard, while the dual SIM support and colorful bodywork is courtesy of the x1-01.

Key features

• Dual-SIM, dual-standby phone, hot swap
• Dual-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support
• QWERTY keyboard
• 2.4" 256K-color QVGA TFT display
• 2MP camera
• Series 40 UI
• Stereo FM radio with RDS, recording
• Bluetooth 2.1 (with EDR)
• Standard microUSB port
• Hot-swappable microSD card slot (32GB supported)
• 3.5mm audio jack
• Good audio quality

Main disadvantages

• No Wi-Fi
• No 3G
• Basic camera
• No multitasking
• No smart dial
• No USB charging

As usual, we'll have to do without one or two things that are otherwise taken for granted in contemporary phones. But the omissions shouldn't be hard to forgive in a phone that costs next to nothing. 3G and Wi-Fi are available elsewhere in the Asha lineup, and so is touchscreen. The Asha 200 focuses on the basics instead - with value-for-money features like dual SIM and a QWERTY keyboard.

    

Nokia Asha 200 live pictures

A dual SIM QWERTY messenger pretty much sums the Nokia Asha 200. But it comes in plenty of colors and is not entirely clueless when it comes to music, social networks and even some basic photography. Of course, shoppers on a budget have priorities and build quality and durability are usually high on their list. They should look no further than the next page where we explore the hardware of the Asha 200.

Lumia 800, A new NOKIA

We took a trip into London this morning to pay a visit to Nokia who have been switching to show off the latest edition to the Lumia 800 family.

The white Lumia 800 joins the existing lineup of black, cyan and magenta handsets and we expect it to hit UK stores in March this year.

Alongside this lighter Lumia, Nokia have produced a “white” themed playlist so expect to be able to find a selection of corresponding tunes, from Barry White to the White Stripes. If you’re a Lumia owner you can find this special playlist via Mix Radio on the Nokia Music app.

Of course the ‘white edition’ has fast become a staple of the flagship world, who could forget the inordinate amount of time it took Apple to bring us the white iPhone 4. We have of course, seen the whiteLumia 800 before, almost. Nokia quietly unveiled a white N9 at Nokia World last year which of course plays the role of donor to the Lumia with its swish polycarbonate unibody.

Like the white N9, the white 800 uses a gloss finish as opposed to the typical matt polycarbonate of its brothers, in part due to the risk discoloration in some white plastics, but in this case it’s more of an aesthetic choice.

The gloss finish doesn’t run throughout the unibody of course and greatly increases the chance of the already smooth form slipping out of your hands. Using the provided case is a bit of an issue too, as unlike the other 800′s with their color-coded bundled cases, the white Lumia will receive a black case negating the point of opting for a shiny white device in the first place.

That being said, it does stand out from the rest of the 800 family and white phones do attract a particular favoritism among many prospective buyers. The white Lumia 800 is expected to hit UK stores at the start of next month coming to retailer Phones4U first before cropping up elsewhere and other European markets should be receiving it around the same time.
