Introduction

Nokia has traditionally been the single strongest feature phone brand in developing countries. Well until now when it is being targeted at both end – by local brands at the bottom of the pyramid, and brands like Samsung and HTC at the top-end. The Asha and Lumia series were introduced as an attempt to be the phoenix rising from its ashes. Lumia is for the mid to high-range phones so that’s for another day. We talk about Asha today in general and the brand-new Asha 302 in particular. The Asha series attempts to redesign the Nokia entry-level product line in a bid to bring in more connectivity, design and social media integration. Let’s see how the Asha 301 performs in all these areas.
