Nokia unveils Asha series: 200, 201, 300, 303

Just as we spied yesterday, Nokia has unveiled the 303, a lower-end featurephone running Series 40 6th Edition and rocking a perfectly respectable portrait QWERTY layout. In addition, it's also announced three other phones in the same line: the 200, 201 and 300. All four units all run Series 40, though the 300 and 303 offer capacitive touchscreens. These phones are all designed to encourage the "next billion" users to access the web, and seem directed toward emerging markets. The 200 includes an option to throw in multiple SIM cards and can offer up to 32GB of storage for media playback. It, along with the 201, have exceptionally loud speakers that work great for parties and those crazy all-nighters, though the latter lacks the multi-SIM support. The 300 is a candybar with a capacitive screen and numeric keypad, and offers a 1GHz CPU, 5MP camera and 3G. Similarly, the 303 offers the same types of features with a full QWERTY experience.

All four Asha devices are made of polycarbonate and come with a Nokia Browser, which is powered by the cloud and compresses data by up to 90 percent, saving users from racking up excessive charges. Oh, and did we mention Angry Birds is coming to Series 40?
