Yeah, it really is interesting to see how much these Ashas have sold during Q3. They are most certainly going to raise the smartphone sales quite a bit. It just might get Nokia a real ‘comeback’ on the ever important ‘smartphone’ marketshare. It seems that no one give any weight on featurephones anymore.
I’m sure the Ashas are going to sell like hot cakes Q4…
they are advertised as smartphones here in the Philippines by Nokia Ph.
All Asha Touch phones are now smartphones by definition. Anything else would be even more arbitrary than it already is, since they all run the same software. Of course Series 40 Touch and Type phones have for practical purposes the same functionality as Asha Touch, which again shows how arbitrary the definition of a “smartphone” has become. About the only difference is that the Series 40 T&T phones still have a UI mostly similar to the non-touch Series 40 6th Edition phones, in other words they still have the soft key paradigm. However, many soft key functions can also be accessed with a long press as well.
if the first iphone who was a bonified featurephone with a touchscreen was called a smartphone then for sure the ashas are smartphones
Very good looking phones..the cyan bottomed one is especially striking..
Well, I have been writing here again and again that all the Asha series are advertised as “Smartphones”
in Pakistan and it seems the same case for India too.
Including the Asha 200 series phones? I suppose that makes as much sense as only calling the Asha Touch devices smartphones. By logic one should then call all the Series 40 6th Edition (and perhaps even 5th Edition) and newer S40 phones smartphones, but I suppose one has to draw the line somewhere.
Oh lord… What’s a Smartphone today… It’s astonishing how marketing work…
Well, the difference between smartphones and feature phones was pretty much created for marketing purposes, anyway. At least calling all the Ashas smartphones make some sense when you look at it more closely. You can install apps and you even have some limited multitasking (not that different from iOS before version 4, actually). What does not make sense is that some people (mostly they are Americans) think that a smartphone has to have a touchscreen and therefore for example the S60 3.x and earlier Symbian phones were not smartphones…
It’s funny to see how the Smartphone paradigm was reshape by Apple, from a open tool, to an App centric device…
PD.: How ideas that were bad in the past, are now re-emerging. In the future is that thing called Cloud computing that’s very similar to the Mainframe – Endpoint Client computing paradigm… More power to the big corps… hah funny world…
