Nokia Asha 311 Dark Grey 4GB included Factory Deal

Shifui : TTo understand why the Asha line isn't found among North American GSM carriers however, one must first understand that North American network success is measured by profitability first and THEN innovation. Nokia has reversed that equation in two ways: (1) By compressing high speed data through their own servers, one can take full advantage of the internet without a required high-cost smartphone data plan and (2) The Asha is LOADED with features and apps found on phones 3-4 times its price. In other words, the Nokia Asha 311 is not economically advantageous to any carrier that would prefer seeing its customers shackled into a 2 year service contract with an expensive smartphone data plan. Not surprisingly, the Asha line is VERY popular in countries outside the US. Indeed, more than 26 million Asha phones have been sold on the global market.

Nicholas278: The phone arrived on time and on first look I liked it. I hate big sized phones and was very happy to see that this phone was just the right size. Its very comfortable to hold in hand. The touchscreen responds well. The features are attractive. As a phone it does its job very well. The audio is clear. The ringtones are loud (I used to miss many calls with my previous phone coz the ring would get suppressed when the phone is in my pocket). Dialing and making calls is also very easy. It is nice to hold in the hand. 1Ghz processor is good in speed. 128mb memory might not be sufficient for app users (Angry Birds plays fine though).

D. CHAN "dgc218" (New York, NY United States): Wifi connects well (I'm not a very heavy user of the internet over the phone, but I have streamed videos occasionally and didnt think it bad). I do not use the 3G feature so I'm not bothered about it. The screen size may not be the best for watching videos (having said that I don't think a 4-inch screen does any better). The 3.2mp camera is good (again I'm not very picky about the images). There is no flash (but the flashes I've seen on many phones were not so impressive, so I don't miss it). There is a qwerty keyboard while in landscape mode.
