We have had the yellow Nokia Asha 210 dual sim a few weeks, here is a quick overview of this little gem.
Striking colour nice and neat, looks like some old predecessors such as the E5,E6 runs well, looks great and is priced very keen in other markets circa 80 euros
Unboxing the asha 210
The back of the device hosts the camera and speaker grille similar to the 515. Again non textured just plain and smooth, nice feel to it.
As you can see it’s size is in between the 720/1020 yet bigger than the nokia 515, it’s not too big nor too small but the screen size may not suit some, it’s small for me but the device is so enjoyable to use, you can excuse that.Between this and the 515 i would pick the 210 personally.
The bottom of the device has nothing to offer, plain with rounded edges.
The top of the device holds the USB port, the headphone jack and mic. Again a typical design from Nokia.
The right hand side has also nothing to offer, feels like they have forgot something but since it’s a qwerty based design there is no need for any buttons at all. So this is understandable, yet does not make it look any cheaper.
The left hand side holds the sim retainer, in this case it’s a dual sim, the two Sims fit in here one above the other making it easy to swap should need be.
We will have a more in depth review when we have some time as we are constantly using other devices each day but this is a great little phone, I’m very impressed with it so far even thought it’s a qwerty device I love it, and it’s got a lot to offer for its price and it has wifi unlike the nokia 515, this would sell well with the younger generation and very affordable compared to other devices on the market now.
We have the Nokia 515 a few weeks now and it’s a nice little phone all over, personally for me it’s too small but a great back up device if you will, or a spare phone to carry out should you wish to keep your prized one safe.
Unboxing the 515
The phone itself is a solid build, tough strong and robust with a great feel and feels like a high end device in hand.
The device is small compared to whats out there now but this is the norm for a candybar type device and still popular today with lots of people.
The back of the device is smooth with a non textured surface showing the camera and flash, at the end you can see the speaker grill and what appears to be a padded area on the bottom it’s it’s actually metal, this here is the antenna area.
The bottom of the decide holds the key to removing the back cover which is a new design and somewhat odd, and many find it difficult to open, we have done a quick video on this a while back on how to remove easily. back cover removal
The left side of the device has nothing at all, typically similar to most Nokia handsets where Nokia keep everything on one side for ease of access.
The top of the device holds the USB port and the headphone jack again typical in Nokia phones.
The right hand side of the device holds the volume toggle, hard to see but the keys are black, like the handset, and the keys are plastic not metal, but work rather well and don’t fell too flush or recessed in the housing.
As you can see the handset is a typical candybar design fells good in hand and easy for one handed use.
Key features.

Dislikes.
No wifi, non touch and back cover removal.
Over all the device is fairly good for the average user that’s not looking for anything to fancy, the camera is a fixed focus 5MP with LED flash.
Video camera is QVGA @30fps
There is plenty to do for your average not heavy into tech user and it provides all you need, the radio and music player is quite good and gives a nice sound considering the price, it may be a little overpriced in ireland but my personal thoughts would be 99 euros rather than the €129 it’s selling for, but your getting a premium feel and quality build.
Web browsing is fine not lightning quick but again enough to get you tru your needs if they are limited. For a budget phone it does well and kept me happy when trying it out.
Overall I would give it 8/10 looks great feels great, does the job.

There are currently over 200 million Viber users around the world, and there’s set to be a lot more thanks to the availability for Asha owners.
You can send regular messages through Viber and have a conversation with friends, and it’s easy to attach photographs and send them via 3G or Wi-Fi.
It’s also possible to make voice calls using Viber – giving you all the functionality that you’ve come to expect from your Nokia Asha device. The one key difference is that because everything works over 3G or Wi-Fi, you can use your contract’s data allowance or join a wireless network, and the result is a lot cheaper – or even free.
This comes in particularly useful when you’re chatting or sharing content with people in different countries, where voice calls or pictures messages can prove to be prohibitively expensive.
Start Viber for the first time and the app automatically syncs your contacts. That means that all your friends who are already using the social messaging service will be added to your phonebook, and it’s easy to start chatting.
Message threads are colour coded, so there’s no confusion when you’re reading back messages. You can even set up group messages, so you can chat with several of your friends simultaneously.
Viber is available to download now for the Nokia Asha 308, Asha 310 and Asha 311.
