Nokia Asha 200, dual-SIM QWERTY phone for Php3,500
Nokia just announced the availability of the Nokia Asha 200 which looks like the once-popular Nokia C3 with its QWERTY keyboard and playful colors.
Just like the recent dual-sim phones from Nokia, the Asha 200 features the Easy Swap which allows users to hotswap they SIM cards without taking out the battery or turning it off. This phone can store up to five SIM profiles where you can assign a name, logo and ringtone for each SIM. A nice phone to have for travelers who uses a number of SIM cards.
The Asha 200 includes a dedicated key to access e-mail and chat services via Nokia Messaging. It also has Nokia Communities that lets you do a one-click sign-in to your social network accounts like Facebook and Twitter so you can post status or photos at once straight from the home screen. Unfortunately, you it doesn’t have WiFi so you have to make do with your data plan to connect to the net. It doesn’t have 3G either like the Nokia C3.
The phone supports up to 32GB microSD so you can use it for your music, apps and games. Aside from the FM radio, it also has an FM recording feature that allows users to record straight from the radio. I’m not sure if a lot of people find that useful though.
You can get the Nokia Asha 200 from Nokia stores nationwide for a really affordable price of Php3,500. It comes in a wide range of colors: Pink, Aqua, Green, Blue, Orange, Graphite, White, and Light Pink.

I think Nokia is still number one here in the country for low-cost feature handsets. ok yung 3,500 na price for something like this. wag ka lang umasa sa wifi connection.

It seems nokia is targeting the low end market.
Why buy other low quality brand when you can have a qwerty phone at this price and quality?
Yeah right!
Is it dual standby? what about the keypad..? Is it soft,,?
Is this WiFi ??
nope no wifi here
Is this WiFi ??
I just bought this phone last Saturday and so far I’m so amazed with its features. Sulit na sulit yung P3,500 kahit walang wifi, lalo na kung may globe sim ka na naka unli plan. Kung sa txt at tawag lang, solve na sa qwerty keypad niya.
A Nokia Asha (in pink, of course!) or an Alcatel 810D? Hmm.
To how many contacts can a single message be sent, as in a group message?
what’s better to buy , NOKIA C3 or NOKIA ASHA 200 ???
para saken important yung WiFi feature so I’d go with C3.
what can i do to my Nokia asha 200? nageecho kapag tmatawag ako?help me nmn
I love this phone, got the white color!! It can accomodate 20 contacts in one sending when you create a group in contacts. Specifically bought this for texting using SunCel, i must say, Nokia is still the best when it comes to battery life! I am a heavy texter and caller but still the battery of this asha 200 lasts for 7days!
Hey Ruby, I just got the black one. Its Amazing phone for that price. Even I am a heavy texter than caller, but I am searching how to create a group and insert the contacts in those group for sending sms….any help would be highly appreciated..
