          fyhtyujyujk Just because you'd want a 6" quad-core super-phone clocked at 100GHz and a Terabyte of memory doesn't mean everyone else does!

          In markets like India and other 3rd world countries, A lot of people will happily buy a $99 phone that covers the basics - plenty of storage, a good music player and so on with a decent 3" screen.

          The "Asha" series was predominantly designed for India (even the name is Hindi).
          There is a reason these don't have 3G - most of India doesn't have 3G except the cities; and people there already have mid to high end phones.

                I dont understand why Nokia is not able to realize that they are being deteriorated with these stupid models.
                They would have their own research setup. One should come up with smashing models and configurations like Samsung.

                  i bet nokias profit margins on these phones are much higher than anything android in this price range. Not only that but the phone will be much smoother. Great idea to come out with this range of phones, i think they should bring one to america on a pre paid network for bird prices
