To those people saying Sam are much beter - no way!
I speak from experience - I have used a Sam 5512 dual SIM daily for 3 months (and I own a Galaxy Tab 2). Great to have an Android phone and all those apps, but the phone often crashes and I cannot use SIM 2 outgoing calls because of a callback problem. The problem remains because Sam simply make a million phones, sell them quickly but they do not invest in quality control nor offer any system updates nor other real support, so this problem remains unfixed.
Sam have nice ideas but are cr@p in quality and implementation, unless you are happy to return or buy again in 12 months!
I used to have problems with Nokia because they were #1 and arrogant, failing to address many problems, but now thy have improved and I am returning to Nokia becuase of generally better quality, although not perfect, but better than Sam.
The best quality for me was Ericsson, then HTC, but I NEED a dual-SIM qwerty and the choice is very small !

I have Asha 206. I am a heavy phone user. Looks cool however performance not as endorsed by Nokia on pack or TV ad. It sucks! Very poor streaming of Youtube. My colleagues envy for the looks, they would stop if I tell them about performance. :-P
I strongly believe ASHA 210 experience is gonna be the same, reasons:
-No talks about OS.
-Internal memory is less. (For people who don't know about memory issues on Nokia - I have used Nokia C-5, after couple of months internal memory was full with "Other" items, which cannot be deleted even after factory reset. I couldn't send or recv SMS or even make Phone calls!! Pheww!!!)
-Interface not that great
Best phone from Nokia till date is the good old, 1100.
*Disclaimer - Above opinions are my own. I am not suggesting any SAMMY or Maxie. Other users may not have same experience*

Bb waa betrer then this new nokia , n blaah blaah. E 5 n e 71 were among d best qwerty nokia produced. AS fr ur sammy design , it was the worst cheap plastic ever d bb ,s are like a brick . The only other phone dat was facinating and innovative was frm moto, witn a mouse pad at the back. An amazing innovation. Never cmpare sammy crap vid nokia , nokia,s quality is far superior. Myt nt b satisfied vid software but was more then happy vid all the nokia phones i had. All f dem are still in working condition . As fr ur b.b please compare the price f this handset with the cheapest b.b available in market, its even less then half its price......and ur saying the handset is cheap and design etc nt gud.......please write smthng worth readin.

AnonD-58540, 24 Apr 2013r u kiddin me???? This phone is nearly half of a b.b phone ... moreBlackBerry's Curve 9370 Dimensions 109 x 60 x 11 mm. This is just one of the many compact qwerty's from them, which fits a large 2.44 inch screen. Nobody other than blackberry can make such a compact qwerty with the screen of this size. What adds beauty to blackberry qwertys is the screen area is more with less area for bezel and keyboard. So when you hold a blackberry in your hand you will get a nice visual experience because the large screen dominates the even compact size of the phone.Still the keyboard is very comfortable to use than nokias qwerty phones.The drawback of nokia's qwertys is that if they want to fit in a screen of this size they have to increase the dimensions of the phone. Which results in bulky size, large keys especially the soft keys and it looks like a large phone with a small screen. Whats more, compare the looks of blackberry and nokia as old as nokia's E 63, E 71, E 72 and all till the asha series. All looks ugly and bulky.The overall design, navigation and soft keys they looks outdated even at the time they were released. Take any old model of blackberry.It still have better looks than nokias latest qwertys. BTW even samsung and others have produced better compact qwertys with nice design and large screens.

Tanim83, 25 Apr 2013Nokia have to to live S40 platform as soon possible.My grnd... more1) S40 is needed for the low end phones cause currently there is no OS that can fit in 64MB of ram and work smoothly, not even Android(it doesn't work properly in 512, forget 64).
2) By using S40 the hardware requirements are minimum and hence the cost of production is less which increases the profit. Nokia is low on cash right now and these Asha series are the only way they are holding on, Lumia is picking up pace but Lumia series curently alone cannot handle the financial pressure.
3) S40 is proven platform for Nokia which has years of development in it. They already sacked S60, they don't want to kill this one as well.
4) You, yourself are saying that Nokia hardware is unbeatable and yet you are comparing it to the cheap chinese phones. If people want to buy cheap stuff let them buy, they will come to their senses when their phones lie more in the service centres rather than in their hand. User Experience is always greater than the specs. Android has corrupted the minds of people by equating big specs with greater user experince, because Android needs it, but guess what not every other OS does, they can very well run of the lowest of specs. If the OS and the apps doesn't need those specs, then why to put them in there and increase the production cost just so that people can boast about it? At the end of the day does it matter to you how much gigs and gbs you have? All it matter is that your piece runs smoothly and all your apps and games are playable with ease.
So I don't think its a waste of money, infact they are saving much more.

WhyTheF*** Asha QWERTY phones all have QAZ column of keys aligned to left?
Every other phone have at least Z letter indented.
I don't like Asha phones for this.

What features does this phone sport that wasn't present in both E & N Series by Nokia?
Two years since dropping Symbian and this is the "best new features" they can offer? C'MON!!!!
I'll never understand why Elop made such a BAD decision, when they could actually go along with both systems at the time.
This phone is not third the phone the E72 still are.
