The Nokia Asha 201 was launched last week by Vodafone, while now the S40 based handset is also available from Phones4U. This retailer is offering the handset attached to one of the following mobile operators: O2, Orange and T-Mobile UK.
Phones4U requires 59.95 GBP (around $94), which is 15 GBP more than the 45GBP (around $70) price asked by Vodafone. But for those customers who wish to get SIM other than Vodafone need to stick with the current price tag. You can purchase the handset from Phones4U in two color options: pearl white and black, while Vodafone has only white units.
The Nokia Asha 201 is one of the three novelties coming based on S40. All three models (including Asha 203 and Asha 302) are expected to get a formal presentation at Mobile World Congress 2012 on February 27 in Barcelona. The S40 software might not be something amazing like WP or Android, still it will give access to various social networks and apps, including Facebook, Twitter, Google Talk and Whatsapp.
The handset features a QWERTY keyboard, a small 2.4-inch QVGA display, a 2 megapixel rear camera, GSM/EDGE connectivity, a 3.5mm audio jack and support for microSD cards.
