Nokia's new Asha phones look gorgeous
- yoster 13y agoThe front looks like the original iPhone.
- JLehtinen 13y agoYou could say that, but Nokia had very similar designs (albeit with a couple more buttons at the bottom and a hidden keyboard) before iPhone. When iPhone4 came out I remember thinking how familiar some of the details looked.
- claudius 13y agoConsidering that one can buy three to five of these for the price of one N9, they’re really impressive. Now I just have to wait for someone to steal the fast-lane idea and implement it for Harmattan :-)
- mowfask 13y agoSo Nokia finally built the feature-phone of the smartphone-era: cheap, long battery life, good durability (probably) and incredibly ugly.
- koralatov 13y agoIt might not be astoundingly pretty, but ``incredibly ugly'' seems a bit of a stretch.
- mowfask 13y agoLow screen/front-size ratio, big fonts to compensate low resolution, flat UI and "clever" menu layout to compensate low contrast. Consumer expectations are high these days...
- koralatov 13y ago...for high-end phones. For a $99 `feature phone' expectations are commensurately lower; I don't think anyone would buy this phone expecting something that's equivalent to an iPhone 5 or a Galaxy S4. They'll buy it because it's cheap, cute, does everything they want, and it has great battery-life.
- hkmurakami 13y agotrust me, regular feature phones are far uglier than this new Nokia phone (I still use one from 2011 as a secondary phone)
- danielsamuels 13y agoI'm assuming the title of this submission is sarcasm?

- feniv 13y agoThe form factor is very... "unique".
