Nokia is working on many projects; some of them prove to be successful, while others simply fail with no chance to survive. S40 operating system was at the bottom for a while. But those who hurried to bury the platform should basically renounce as My Nokia Blog has shown two devices running this OS and sporting touchscreens. The first...

Nokia’s representatives in the low-end and featured phones market are the Asha series handsets. Though these devices are packed with not that attractive features, they are quite welcomed by users due to decent specs lists and afforable prices. I guess few of you are aware of the popular apps and services available for the Asha phones....

Shiny and pricey phones have recently taken all our time and attention, while we keep forgetting that one part of the world can’t afford super-fast smartphones and 2-3 year contracts. The main connector in the market, Nokia, has decided to reach for people with lower income as well. On April 10 it announced a new phone, Nokia 103, coming...

When it comes to the smartphone screens, everyone accuses Microsoft of its chassis not allowing smartphone makers to pack the devices with higher resolution displays. In this sense, Apple is in the most beneficial position as its iPhones have the most pixel density (330ppi) due to Retina Display technology. It’s followed by Android...

Nokia Research Center in conjunction with Cambridge University was working on an interesting concept back in 2008. The companies developed a Nokia device concept called Morph, which was made of flexible body. So the users would get a chance to change the shape of their device into their desired design. The project, however, was not made...

The more the ads, the better the sales. Perhaps Nokia has adopted this slogan, therefore it has put SEVEN Nokia Lumia ads in Saturday’s The Sun newspaper. Once Nokia did this, many people started criticizing the Finnish company and accused it of wasting money unreasonably. But Nokia is not in a situation that can afford spending money...

Nokia has filed for a patent, which must interest the youth. It was done right yesterday and it’s said users will be able to make a ferromagnetic ink tattoo, which will vibrate based on signals sent from a phone when a new notification appears. There is a special material developed by the company that will be paired to a phone and emit...

Nokia Drive is a great app for those who are traveling around a lot. It not only allows to find your location road, but also provides details about the surrounding. The app, however, has one shortcoming — it requires internet connectivity even for the launch. This is especially ridiculous if you are in a location where there’s...

Along with the high-end novelties Nokia promised to release a few new handsets for its Asha series as well. This series include low-end handsets coming with S40 operating system.

The intro of the handsets was held by Mary McDowell. She announced the Nokia Asha 203, Asha 202 and Asha 302. The most outstanding model among the three handsets is the Asha 302 with its QWERTY keyboard. As for the Asha 203 and the Asha 202, these models are identical except for Asha 203′s possibility to sport dual-SIM cards.

The Nokia Asha 302 runs a 1GHz processor and works with 14.4 Mbps HSDPA networks. The handset comes with a large package of apps and features, including social networking sites as Facebook, Twitter and What’sApp. In addition, it uses Microsoft Exchange email, which is a novelty for a Nokia handset.

The Nokia Asha 302 will be available at the price of 95 EUR ($130).

The cheaper Asha 202 and Asha 203 models will come equipped with a smaller 2.4 inch touchsreen, a 2 megapixel rear camera, FM radio support and Nokia Browser. The connectivity of the models include Bluetooth. The handsets are capable of using microSD cards for up to 32 GB.

These models will be basically designed for gaming, as during 60 days of purchase you will be able to download around 40 games from Nokia Market for free, while their joint price reaches 75 EUR, which is approximately the price of the devices themselves, as they will be offered at the price of around 60 EUR ($80).

Nokia and Siemens merged their phone network businesses to become the biggest multinational data networking and telecommunications equipment company. Both companies seem to have succeeded, as the joint venture between Nokia of Finland and Siemens of Germany is the most popular one in the world and any decision made inside the company affects the entire tech world. Now that Nokia Siemens Networks has announced Multiflow (a new technology for HSPA+ networks), imagine how the world will be changed.

Multiflow promises to offer data speeds, which will be twice as fast and 50 percent more responsive than today’s networks. The secret is in pulling down data from two different towers instantaneously. Thus the handsets will completely use network opportunities and double data throughput to devices. The technology is expected to be available in the second half of 2013.

Seems Nokia Corporation is making changes not only in the traditions of making smartphones, but in other areas as well. On the other hand, the changes are not acceptable by everyone, I mean the latest announcement NSN will fire 4000 employees making up the number of fired people 17,000.
