Nokia Asha 210 A Colourful QWERTY With A Budget Price

QWERTY fans haven’t had much to get excited about lately. Few handset manufacturers are still building keyboard laden phones and the few that are around - like the BlackBerry Q10, tend to be quite pricey.

Thank goodness for Nokia then who are offering a low price alternative for those can’t stretch to a high or even mid range phone, or who just don’t want a BlackBerry.

The Nokia Asha 210 is about as low end as a handset can get while still being considered in any way a smartphone and is aimed primarily at emerging markets, but as a result it should be refreshingly cheap when it hits these shores.

Like many Nokia phones the Asha 210 comes in a variety of bright colours such as red, yellow and blue. It has a 2.4 inch 320 x 240 TFT screen with 167 pixels per inch. Then below that there’s a four-way navigation key, a camera button, a menu button, a call button, a power button and even a Facebook button, which gives you instant access to the social network and a ‘WhatsApp’ button, which makes it the first phone to build the popular free internet messaging service into its very hardware.
