Nokia Asha 305 review: Smarter 2gether

03 August 2012
The Nokia Asha 305 is easily one of the cheapest phones with two SIMs and a touchscreen, the closest Android being almost twice as expensive. Price may be the biggest advantage this phone has over the competition but you'd better be prepared...

      "Surprisingly, Nokia have made pinch zooming possible even on a resistive screen such as this one."

      as of long ago, this has been made possible by developers, but i thot twas possible only for old winmobile (and old android devices i think)

      i think this is the first time its being implemented by a manufacturer. not bad.

      resistive screens do detect multiple touches; they're just handled in a different manner from capacitative screens... been saying this for years, and naturally nobody's been listening.

          But the most amazing dual sim phone is thl w3+ for 250 bucks from pandawill.
          It has mtk6577 chipset( 1ghz dual core, 1GB RAM, HSPA, antutu score over 5000), 2000mah battery(for real), 8mpix with 1080p recording and most amazing part is 4.5 1280*720 IPS screen( probably from LG).

                    waiting for the 311 review. 311 has a capacitive screen, more ram, more speed and a better cam, it remedies most of the cons mentioned here.

                      Lol, cheapest dual sim touchscreen is $30 iphone knockoff with 3.2 inch 240*320 resistive screen and VGA camera.
                      But for same money as 305, you can get Android 2.3.6 Dual SIM with MTK6515 chipset( 1ghz, 256mb RAM), 3.5 inch capacitive 320*480 screen, wifi and so on.

                        I hope Nokia recovers strength in the high end branch, so they can continue developing interesting projects like this. These kind of phones put technology to the reach in a serious way. Far from perfect, at 70 euros it's pretty amazing.
