Nokia Asha 309 Specifications and Price in the Philippines: Affordable, capacitive screen with Nokia Maps!

Another Asha phone have been introduced by Nokia today — The Nokia Asha 309. Since this phone belongs to the Asha family, we know that this phone won’t pack a spectacular or majestic features but hey, this phone is very affordable and it packs a Nokia Xpress browser which is powered by cloud. I think it works similar to the Opera Mini. Just like what I’ve said earlier, it doesn’t pack a spectacular features but it does have a 3.0″ scratchless capacitive WQVGA screen and a quite nice looking design. The thing that I like in here is that the phone supports Nokia Maps even though it is only powered by a Series 40 OS and not Symbian S^3. In my opinion, Nokia Maps is probably the best map app out there. This phone comes with free 40 premium EA games too so I bet, you won’t be bored when you have this phone. This phone doesn’t come with a 3G radio inside so you’re stuck at EDGE which is quite disappointing but thankfully there’s Wi-Fi inside. The camera is only 2.0 megapixel and the video recording is too low. But look on the bright side! the Nokia Asha 309 comes with a very very affordable price.
