NOKIA Asha 200 Pro Reviews

Let’s start things off with the Gigabyte WindForce 3X since it embodies every positive aspect of the HD 7950’s new price and then goes a few steps further. Normally a manufacturer-based overclock of just over ten percent wouldn’t be enough to turn heads and it certainly isn’t sufficient to boost performance by noticeable amounts but the higher clock speeds are paired up with one hell of a cooling solution. Gigabyte has always been near the forefront of heatsink technology and the WindForce 3X has once again proven it is one of the best designs around. We’ve also seen the beginnings of a small price war break out between AMD’s board partners and as a result you can get this card for $399. Let’s say that again for emphasis: the WindForce 3X OC doesn’t cost one penny more than a reference-based HD 7950. To us, that makes it a phenomenal value. MSI’s HD 7950 Twin Frozr III may not boast a core clock of 900MHz but a mere 20MHz shortfall really won’t make all that much of a difference in-game. Like the WindForce 3X its heatsink design is one of the best around, resulting in a cool running core and a near silent acoustical profile. The big difference is one of cost. The Twin Frozr III OC is a good $15 more expensive so even though both solutions are on a relatively even footing, MSI is in a bit of a tough position here. From our perspective, their card really isn’t worth more than what Gigabyte is offering. However, from an anecdotal perspective, MSI does have several RMA centers spread throughout North America (including one in Canada) so turnaround times should be better than what Gigabyte offers.

Considering that the Nokia Asha 200 currently costs under $90 off contract, there is quite a lot that you get for your money, so we would gladly recommend getting it if you need a low cost dual-SIM device. It looks good, has a nice physical keyboard, and comes with a whole bunch of social networking features, which makes it especially suitable for young users.

People who want their phone to be just a phone are in for a nice surprise with the Nokia Asha 200. It's two phones for the price of one. How's that for a bargain? The Asha series is a great place to get a bargain lately and Nokia must be happy with the performance of their entry-level phones. Despite recent woes forcing a painful review of their smartphone strategy, the Finns are like a well-oiled machine in the low end. Joining a growing team of dual SIM phones by Nokia, the Asha 200 doesn't seem to be at odds with any of the alternatives. Although most of its competition is coming from fellow Nokia devices, the Asha 200 is different enough to warrant its existence. If dual-SIM is a must, there isn't too many S40 phones to choose from. The C2-03 and C2-06 are touch phones and we're not sure people interested in the Asha 200 would be willing to consider them.
