NOKIA Asha 308 Pro Reviews

So, there goes another basic package from the Finns, which should be no surprise for anyone familiar with the Asha lineup. The Nokia Asha 308 slides between the most basic offerings and the Asha 311 the experience has been significantly improved. At first glance, it's the typical entry-level handset: an nicely executed dual-SIM solution and plenty of compromise elsewhere. Yet, the capacitive screen and double the amount of RAM over the Asha 305 are easily felt and bring the user experience up a notch. Who would've thought that 32MB of extra RAM would make such a big difference? The jerky scrolling and laggy overall response of the Asha 305 have been sorted. What it means is the Asha Touch interface can be fully appreciated - from the swipeable three-homescreen setup and the notifications to the smooth inertia scrolling complete with bounce effect. The new Nokia Xpress browser speeds up page loading, there's a reasonable email client on board, social network integration and a proper app store. The biggest omission is a faster Internet connection through either Wi-Fi or 3G but that's how Nokia have been doing things for a while now. Like the Asha 305 before it, the Asha 308 has a single-SIM twin, Asha 309, which is equipped with a WLAN radio. These are the only things that sets the two phones apart - and we should note that the single-SIM Asha 309 costs a little less.
