Nokia Asha 300 Review

My dad got this phone in an attempt to bring him more into the 21st century without loosing the physical buttons completely. And i've got to say i've been pleasantly surprised, a lot of focus has been on nokias windows phone but obviously they've been quietly working away on the cheaper range of phones which started nokias dominance with who can forget the 3310. 

This phone may have a resistive touchscreen, which isn't half bad by the way, but it manages to fit a 1ghz processor and 5mega pixel camera (lacking flash) into it's slight frame for a very reasonable £65. Having owned the nokia 5800 I can see that symbian has moved a long way since those days, and lets face it this isn't going to challenge the iphones of galaxys of this world, but for a reliable budget phone this is going to be hard to beat. It also shows us that soon we won't have to break the bank to get a very useable phone which has got to be a good thing.
