A quick take on the key features of Nokia Asha 303, the latest from Nokia in the Asha series.
Both are smart feature phones. But who will conquer the market?
Don't be surprised, for the Nokia Asha series smartphones offer better gaming, music, Internet and social experience than phones that come under the Samsung Rex brand.
A phone that gives you access to basic mail on the go, a bit of web browsing and social networking, the Nokia Asha 300 at Rs 7,409 offers some nice features such as 3G connectivity, a 1GHz processor and a strong build.

While critics doubt if the new brand would be continued once Microsoft completes integrating Nokia, the X appears to be Nokia's ploy to ease Android-junkies into a Windows Phone environment.
