Nokia is taking a different approach – other mobile phone makers are trying to make smartphones as affordable as feature phones, while Nokia is trying to make feature phones as full-featured as smartphones. Other mobile phone companies couldn’t care less about Africa, India, or South America – but Nokia still does, and the Asha product line of affordable, but still full-featured almost-smartphones is proof of that. I’m very happy that Nokia still knows where its roots lie: bringing mobile phone technology to as many people as possible – and not just rich people in the west. I’m not going to list all the specifications of these devices – I want to focus on what they stand for. The phones are all called Asha, which is Hindi for ‘Hope’. They may not appeal to many of us – they are targeted at young people in emerging markets, and OSNews’ audience is comprised mostly of westerners, sadly – but they’re still pretty awesome, in my book. The Finnish mobile giant unveiled two Windows Phone 7 smartphones, as well as four new Series 40 phones for emerging markets. Today is the start of Nokia World 2011, the event where Nokia would unveil its first Windows Phone 7 device(s).
