The Nokia Asha Charme 308, 309 and 311 price details are shining upon Russia just like the chrysanthemums printed on the limited edition handsets. The company has put its stylish foot ahead and dyed these flowers onto the back panel of the devices and these show off intricate gold and silver petals.
Apparently, the floral pattern on the Asha Charme 308, 309 and 311 has more meaning to it than just style. According to Eastern mythology, it is supposed to symbolize the sun. It may take time for users to realize that these phones are none other than the Nokia handsets we’ve seen before with corresponding name tags. Even their retail value is speculated to be the same as the original variants’ and they hold onto most of their previous specifications as well.
For instance, the former two devices will still flaunt a 3-inch transmissive touchscreen display and put forth visuals in 240 x 400 pixels. They will provide internal memory of 128MB as well as offer Bluetooth 3.0 and a 2MP main camera amongst other features. The last handset also has a 3-inch screen but stands apart with respect to the resolution which is 240 x 320 pixels. It will be powered by a 1GHz processor and bear a 3.2MP snapper for users’ picture-clicking and video-recording needs.
The phones are expected to enter Russia along with certain other CIS countries like Ukraine and Kazakhstan by the end of January. As per My Nokia Blog, people can consider these devices to be suitable gifts for the holidays during the approaching spring season.
The Nokia Asha Charme 308, 309 and 311 will be carrying a price tag similar to their standard models, which means the former two will be put up for sale at 4,490 rubles (approx. $149), while the last phone may cost up to 4,990 rubles (around $165). The company has showered each phone with an exclusive color combination, namely, black with gold, white with silver and white with gold, respectively.
