 "Nokia Asha 210 featuring Facebook button up for pre-order for Rs 4,499")
The Nokia Asha 210 featuring a dedicated Facebook button is currently up for pre-order on online retail site Flipkart.com for Rs 4,499.
At the time of the unveiling, it had been affirmed that some versions of the Asha 210 will have a dedicated Facebook button instead of the WhatsApp one and it had been assumed that this would depend on where the phone is sold.

That aside, the Nokia Asha 210 phone sports a QWERTY keyboard and is available in both single SIM and dual-SIM variants with the dual-SIM variant allowing for SIM swapping on-the-go. The phone also supports Wi-Fi. Nokia is touting this device as a full-fledged social device and is clearly targeted at users who are looking to buy their first smartphone. Nokia claims that the Asha 210 is designed to ensure that people are never more than a few clicks away from their friends and family.
The Nokia Asha 210 comes with a single back-facing 2MP camera that can be accessed through a dedicated hardkey even when the keypad is locked. The camera also offers a few image capturing, editing and sharing options. Users can also share photos and other content quickly by using Nokia’s Slam feature, which comes built into the Nokia Asha 210. Slam essentially enables people to transfer images, video etc. to another Bluetooth-enabled phone without the need to pair devices. What is impressive is that the phone also has Nokia Nearby, a web app that lets people discover restaurants, shops and ATM machines in their vicinity.
In terms of hardware, the Asha 210 is fairly rudimentary as you would expect any smart feature phone to be. It has a 2.4-inch QVGA screen and has 64MB of on-board memory. The storage can be expanded to 32GB by using a microSD card. Those expecting the phone to have 3G are in for a disappointment. The Asha 210 will only support 2G.
The Nokia Asha 210 can be picked in yellow, cyan, black, magenta and white colours.
Those looking to pre-order the handset from Flipkart.com can do so using any one of their payment options including Cash on Delivery.
