Asha from Nokia is back for one more round of bargain and we all find ourselves doubting how much affordable it can get. Majority of the time it makes sense to be doubtful of the cheapest bidder but we have found the budget of Finn lineup to be trustworthy and efficient. So, affordable it is. And though there are many different ways to be cheap, the Nokia Asha appears to get it perfect. It comes with a dual SIM support and QWERTY messenger. There is not a complete lot more to it than that but Nokia is getting all set to sell huge.

The Nokia Asha 200 is actually dual phones in one piece and that doesn’t only mean the dual SIM. It is actually made of a couple of latest handsets of Nokia.

Important features: QWERTY keyboard, 2.4” 256K color QVGA TFT display, Bluetooth 2.1, Standard micro USB port, Dual SIM, Dual band GSM/GPRD/EDGE support, dual standby, 2MP camera, 3.5mm audio jack, good audio quality, stereo FM radio with RDS, recording, hot swappable micro SD card slot.

Disadvantages: No USB charging, no smart dial, very basic camera, no 3G, no Wi-Fi, no multitasking.

Normally, we will have to manage without couple things that are taken for granted otherwise in today’s phones. But the excluded should not be difficult to forgive in a phone that costs extremely low. Wi-Fi and 3G are available somewhere else in the lineup of Asha, and so is the touchscreen. The Asha 200 pays attention on the basics with features that are worth the money, a QWERTY keyboard and dual SIM.

A QWERTY messenger with dual SIM pretty much accounts the new Nokia Asha 200. But it comes in many colors and is not completely clueless when we talk about music, basic photography and social networks. People on budget of course have preferences and build durability and quality are normally high on their list. They should definitely consider Asha 200.
