The latest Nokia
Corporation (ADR)(NYSE:NOK) Asha 205 is expected to be released soon. It will
come with a dedicated Facebook button.
The phone will be
available in a lot of nations, including China. Since Facebook and China are
not on best of terms, the dedicated Facebook key will be replaced by a QQ
button in China. Apart from that feature, the Chinese Asha 205 should be the
same as the international version.
A similar incident had
taken place a year back, when HTC had released its ChaCha Android smartphone in
China. The handset has a dedicated Facebook button, only the Chinese version
had a QQ button.
The Nokia Asha 205 is
an entry-level handset. It comes with Nokia’s Symbian 40 User Interface,
Nokia’s latest Slam feature, Xpress browser, VGA camera, MicroSD card slot,
GSM/ CDMA connectivity, a 2.4-inch display and a 3.5 mm audio jack. It weighs
94 gms and includes a 1,020 mAh battery that is supposed to last up to 37 days
on stand-by. The unlocked version of the handset should cost around $62.
Nokia has launched a
new version of their Nokia Transport app that includes support for the Windows
Phone 8 platform. The new version entails the new Windows Phone 8 UI and the WP
7 version also includes the new visual style.
The Windows versions of
Nokia Transport come with a new modular map view that makes organizing root and
navigating simpler. The app also includes the functionality of planning ahead,
while changing between KMs and miles is easier too.
Also, the route history
is also logged and can be simply deleted in case someone is worried about
privacy issues. 3G is a significant feature and it is anticipated that the app
could save the favored routes of a user.
Nokia has also launched
the latest version of the Symbian platform and also gains from a couple of
tweaks.
