These
are actually pretty nice. I couldn’t care less about a phone’s platform
so long as it does everything I need it to do really well. I’d be happy
if I could have a phone that only had — and excelled at — the
following capabilities:
– Making calls
– Sending/receiving SMS/MMS
– Sending/receiving email
– PIM (calendar, contacts, notes)
– Music playback (local and streaming)
– Mapping with voice navigation
– Taking quality photos (with a flash)
– Browsing the Internet
Simple. Just do THOSE. I could care freakin’ less about a marketplace
of any kind. Just build it, test the hell out of the thing to make sure
the above work 99.9% of the time, and I’d be perfectly happy.
That’s a good point. I am using Nokia 5800 which does all of the above, although a bit slow by today’s standards, but I certainly do not feel like replacing it by a 4x more expensive model which has a battery that needs to be recharged every night. My old 5800 still gets 3-4 days from its battery on moderate use.
Does 305 supports video streaming?
No
no wi-fi here, this big disadvantage, camera also 2mp is NOT sufficient.. NOKIA not manufacturing on people demand. where is ‘connecting people’in current market?
 first, there is Wi-Fi on the phone and it supports b/g/n kinds
and camera is 3.15 mp, get ur facts right, and camera has to be like that because the phone costs ONLY 92 EUROS!!
Nokia asha 311 has wifi  and 3.2 mp camera and touch screen is capacitive
nice mobils
has asha 305 supports video streaming
no
can,t manage contacts in groups
for the price i think these phones are worth it……
306 and 311 both have wi-fi
the touch and camera of 311 is better but its body is quite thick…….
Do the Asha 305 support with whatsapp?
No
haha
mast mobile hai

Does Whatsapp work in nokia asha 305
the problem of most buyers are, stores doesn’t have test phones so buyers can navigate and see the difference between the 305, 306, and 311. This sucks because buyers have to look for another store or look for another PHONE.. ty

Asha 305 not supporting video streaming that is very big disadvantage
DOES NOKIA ASHA 311 ALLOW TO CREATE CONTACT GROUP???
CAN CAMERA SOUND CAN BE TURNED OFF??
Can you provide me with a detailed procedure to set up multiple meetings on a Friday (say) at 07h30 for 12 a 12-week period?
I cannot find out how it works. I keep getting an error (intervals) or it schedules for every day in the period )even though i set repeat day as Friday and repeat weekly.
Thanks
