Shortcut-Keyed Colorful Smartphones

The Nokia Asha 210 has Designated Keys for Wi-Fi and WhatsApp

— May 28, 2013 — Tech
The vibrant-colored Nokia Asha 210 saves you the hassle of scrolling through general settings to turn on Wi-Fi -- it has a designated button for that on its QWERTY hardware keyboard. The Nokia Asha 210 also has a shortcut key for WhatsApp, a popular alternative texting app. The purchase of the phone also comes with a lifetime of unlimited WhatsApp usage.

The specific and explicit endorsement of WhatsApp is powerful. This free bundle will surely get many newbies on board with WhatsApp. Facebook recently branded with HTC by designing the software; this Nokia-WhatsApp collaboration brands a phone slightly differently, as WhatsApp is a mere messaging tool.

Aside from the shortcut features, the Nokia Asha 210 has a built-in voice feature which guides users to stay in the frame when taking selfies (there is no front camera). The phone comes in the vibrant CMYK colors.
