so many haters...then again it's a Nokia comments section. people you have so many choices nowadays that I really don't understand this hate, oh, wait, I did the same thing when I've got a vacuum cleaner, I went on vacuumarena and started hating others for their silly choices because mine was the best. GSMA comment section becomes worse day by day...sorry for interruption, keep on hating and writeing nonsense, that's what you're paid for right?

It seems that commenters try to outdo each other to announce to the world that this phone is "FAIL" or "crap" or whatever word the can think of, and it's the same in every news/review, it does not matter if they talk about high-end or low-end phone, any news is good news for them to just give us a piece of their wisdom!
Why can't they just understand that choice is not a crime, that people have different taste and it's ok not write useless comments.

As with all smartphones though, what is the news on its app store? I'm fairly sure Nokia is not gonna start making one just for a new budget line of phones...

doesn't support full multitasking like s60v3 platform
it supports partially multitasking like music player running in background and using browser but not fully like we are used to 3-4 apps running simultaneously in background.

I have no use for Facebook and Twitter, I'd rather have a mobile phone that natively supports Gayromeo.

Wish, 09 May 2013When fans of Nokia are expecting some thing out of box thin... moreJust to add more:
This is the official end of term S40 too.
Ne platform unveiled 'Nokia Asha software platform 1.0'
With some S40/60/meego....
But yet to bring needed change at mid/upper level product range.
May be May 14 has something good in hide but if it is closed OS W8 then big :(

Good phone.... but very disappointed with screen resolution.
QVGA just doesn't cut it nowadays, would have preferred a 3.2" HVGA screen.
Even Asha 3xx phones have 400x240 resolution. What is wrong with you, Nokia? If keeping cost down was a priority, then don't include the microSD...... but better screen please!!
BTW, I am a Nokia fan, just bought Lumia 520 and think it's an awesome phone......... but....... QVGA? Really?

When fans of Nokia are expecting some thing out of box thinking product the closed flop mind brought another Same old S40 with some cosmetic UI :( What was wrong with Belle FP2 when comparing with S40 ?
Wondering how they want to compete Droid/Ios/Sailfish(next real big thing) with these lollypop products.
Wake up man these things can not save you and Nokia. These products can not satisfy huge S60 user base who are still hoping some thing good to happen in Nokia minus Elop.
