Leaked: Full touch S40 Nokia 311 and Nokia 305!
Above are supposedly the Nokia 311 AND Nokia 305.
Notice the screen size and lack of keyboard. The very first full touch S40 with swipe for the Next Billion?
Expect more details next week:

Resolution will be 240 x 400 pixels.
Yes you are correct and nokia is giving prototype devices to the some of the top Ovi developers to port their existing apps for this new devices. AFAIK
the pricing will mostly overlap with likes of galaxy y ,wave y and other micromax,kaarbon models,making it impossible to sell
Aren’t you one mr. sunshine?
hilarious!!
8-D 8-D 8-D
but let’s all get back to the topic, shall we?
what makes you think that about the pricing? why do you think a revamped S40 shouldn’t be able to compete with low-end Android? Some of the low-end Androids I’ve seen are pretty…..*ugh*.
okay lets compare an asha 302 and galaxy y/pocket whose price overlaps.
Galaxy y has much more and better apps more games,has a better internet browser,also its same touchwiz version you see in other devices like galaxy s.
One can also play hd games and install various roms by rooting.
Asha is useless.as of now nokia dont have anything other than belle to compete with low end droids.
well i see a lot of peiple who are quire unsatiesfied with their cheap android phones.
s40 is for cheap phones abd not just a port of a high end software to cheaper hardware. People who buy a cheap phone don’t want special apps, they want a phone that works!
Correct
thanks for giving a clearer account on why you would say that Asha has no chance. If Asha got stuck at where it is today, I’d understand your concern.
But about the interface, for instance: The leaked 306 manual hints at a new, N9-inspired interface which looks convincing (and, on a sidenote: I never liked TouchWiz, but that’s a matter of taste). Also, Nokia is working hard on the browser (look at version 2.0 for S40, for instance) and on bringing more games to S40. Then, as has been pointed out in various places throughout the forum, getting multitasking to work in S40 seems to be quite feasible, and somebody pointed out here that S40 was less fragmented – the latter maybe a good reason why Nokia went with S40?
Anyways, considering my above points, I’m giving S40 and hopefully upcoming Meltemi a chance.
but as we see galaxy y and other cheap droids are eating sales of nokia dumbphones.everyone desires to have a smartphone.also one who buys a cheap droid ,if he is not satisfied will move up to a higher droid he wont buy s40.
I dont think s40 can anyday become better than android or symbian.
But hope meltemi is better than both.
What the hell can you do with s40? Just bring s603rd BACK ^^,
nowadays quite a lot actually . Soon also MfE
It never went away. The C5-00 5MP and E5 are still shipping and quite possibly even being manufactured. Can’t see S60 v3.2 as an alternative to Sonic (Series 40 full touch), though, since it does not support any kind of touch input…
Galaxy Y and Ace will massacre Nokia’s low end. Nokia should just sell the N9 at dumbphone prices to compete.
haha very funny! but you got the point! s40 is very old! and galaxy y and ace are androids which it got a lot of apps! nokia should just make something with meltemi or with smarterphone! that will make a lot of sense!
+1
hopefully will be the first S40 phone that can be multitasking
The new browser already does some form of multitasking.
If it can indeed to multitasking, is this technically a smartphone? Nokia could easily sell 10s of millions of this is positioned and priced appropriately.
As does the Music player, notifications and so on. So Series 40 is in fact capable of multitasking at least native apps. Implementing task switching even for Java apps should be technically quite simple. Most of you are probably too young to remember, but there were plenty of task switching interfaces built on top of MS-DOS. Some of them were even pre-emptively multitasking (like DesqView and Windows 3.x).
In fact I once talked to a Series 40 engineer (back in 2005 or 2006) and he said that implementing some kind of multitasking in Nokia OS/Series 40 could be done quite easily and relatively rapidly, but Nokia management did not want to do it, because it would overlap Symbian capabilities too much.
Stupid Nokia and their fear of anything encroaching Symbian territory, thus strangling development of the things they should be nurturing, like Maemo and S40.
Stupid, Stupid, Idiots at Nokia. Stupid.
And for millions of repeated mistakes like this, they are suffering for their stupidity.
Amazing Everyday!
Fortunately that is past, now Nokia fears anything encroaching WP territory.
In fact I think the problem was more that they feared anything encroaching S60 territory specifically, because they even killed alternative UIs for Symbian like Series 90.
There really seems to have been some kind of “S60 mafia” in Nokia, which wanted to concentrate all smartphone development around S60. That wouldn’t have been so bad, either, if the S60 clique actually had listened to competent UI designers instead of making an UI “from geeks for geeks”.
The most logical answer to Nokias’ Amazing blunders… I feel one word “stupidity” in Nokia gives a very satisfying answer.
Technically S40 6th edition phones do multitasking and the only thing is Nokia has disabled it. You can use Camera while receiving files on Bluetooth. Music Player runs in background and also there are some hacks which allows Java apps to run in background.
so? these are the replacement for symbian? very funny.
sorry, if there are no more symbian after 808, no more nokia for me.
Same here.
Not sure if I like the 311 or 305 better (or for that matter which is which). I’d probably end up favouring the white one as it’d likely be more comfortable to hold, even though the lack of symmetry bugs me.
Okay-ish….
Need WAY more hard facts about Meltemi though.
woops, posted in wrong spot.
REPOST: Does anyone know if there will be a live stream from the event in Pakistan on May 15th ?
