Intercol brings Nokia Asha ranges [Daily Tribune (Bahrain)](Daily Tribune (Bahrain) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Nokia and Intercol, the authorised partner for Nokia in Bahrain has announced the availability of the Nokia Asha 500, 502 and 503. The Nokia Asha 503 is the first 3.5G model in the new generation of Asha Platform smartphones. The device is retailed at BD 40 with a unique layered design and a scratch-resistant, curved Gorilla® Glass screen. It has got a five megapixel camera and LED flash. Device integrates social networks with a new imaging experience through 'swipe' and one-touch social sharing, and features the Fastlane home screen. Asha 502 and 500 is priced at BD 37 and BD30 respectively. "We have expanded the Asha family with a trio of smartphones that offer consumers a choice of phone that suits their budget, each with stunning design, great social apps, and new imaging experiences," said Vithesh Reddy, General Manager, Nokia Lower Gulf. The Nokia Asha 502 and 503 is available in Bahrain as Easy Swap dual SIM variants. Easy Swap Dual SIM is unique-to-Nokia innovation that allows people to switch between SIM cards on the go, to get better tariffs or alternate between SIM cards for SMS, voice and data, without having to turn off the device. The Asha 503 will also be available as a single SIM device. The range features a new unique innovation known as layered design, achieved using the 'dual shot' technique which is unique to Nokia. It combines an inner layer of bold, bright colour surrounded by crystal-clear transparency. The combination adds a distinctive look to the phone's monobody design, as well as durability. The high-end design is a clear differentiator, as are the craftsmanship and attention to detail. Fastlane is the unique, second screen that acts as a shortcut to the phone's recently accessed apps, features and content, as well as future activity, such as calendar appointments. It's the fastest way to access an app in its last state, as well as being the social hub of the Nokia Asha range. By clicking on the Fastlane item with new notifications, people will be directed to the relevant post, so they never miss an important update. Fastlane can be further personalised and made more private by selecting what content can appear on-screen, and by deleting unwanted Fastlane items, on the go. For the first time, WhatsApp will also be available to Asha Platform devices. WhatsApp joins other popular chat and messaging apps already available for Asha Platform devices, such as WeChat, Line, eBuddy and Nimbuzz. Thousands more free apps, games and content items are available on Nokia Store. These new Asha Devices are currently available at outlets of Intercol and all major electronic retail outlets in Bahrain. copyright (c) 2014 Daily Tribune.
