hey guys, c'mon don't quickly judge this phone as bad, it's not yet released tho.
for me those 2 looks capable enough for low budget phone.
capacitive touchscreen, stereo loudspeaker, FM radio. surely my mom will more than happy with this simple phone. :)
I think I'll get the 309. I've already have dual sim nokia x2-02, and my auntie used it quite happily now.
I'm android user btw. but I'm always open minded to any mobile phone.
nokia map is quite tempting anyway, lol.

TruthSeekr, 25 Sep 2012So who said they were expecting different results? Sure th... moreu r right about everything except one thing, they conquered the world already,and if nokia turned s40 to a smartphone platform(it's inevitable to see that coming),then android won't be the world's most used smartphone OS anymore

thecalmcritic, 25 Sep 2012"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again an... moreu got it all wrong , everytime an asha deviceis announced, a new feature comes to s40 and u missed the elephant in the room with those devices : Capacitive touchscreen,that means the end of resistive screen era,isn't that big enough for change ?!
it's very see interesting to see how S40 is progressing,whatsapp and viber consider it a platform of its own.it's inevitable that in a few months , this is will be the world's largest smartphone os by marketshare

Sure the Asha series are not likely to conquer the world or beat the GS3...
...and that's coz they were never meant to!
Asha and other low-end phones have saved Nokia's hide more than a few times, and I'd say it's a pretty good strategy to play to your strengths.

Anonymous, 25 Sep 2012Not again, same another useless phones from Asha-series! Th... moreJust 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.

very nice specification, with attractive price.. in current market many people are going to unknown brands and those phones lasting for only few months.. now Asha 308/309 are good option for them + Nokia's reliability.. cool.. good come bck..

Why is Nokia never release a dual sim phone with 3G and wifi? They should move up a bit from the super low end sector
