Nokia has today unveiled three new full touchscreen devices running on their featurephone operating system S 40, that are aimed at low to mid-range customers.

Continuing its Asha family, first introduced in last October, Asha 305, 306 and Asha 311 will help Nokia achieve its next billion customers – that’s what at least they are hoping.

Nokia Asha 305, 306 and 311 are almost identical phones, except that Nokia Asha 305 has dual SIM card slot while Nokia Asha 306 supports single SIM.

And as for the Asha 311, it’s the Asha 305/306, but with 3G connectivity and a better camera, that is 3.2 megapixels versus 2.0 megapixels for Asha 305 and 306.

Main attraction for all three models is full touchscreen built on a feature phone operating system, that’s something tested for the first time by Nokia, in an effort to bring low priced phones with rich features.

The Nokia Asha 311 is compact touch screen device that comes with all the features you’d expect for a fun and easy mobile experience. It boasts a bright and colorful, scratch resistant capacitive glass screen with polarization filters ensuring users get the best experience from the unique and visually entertaining user interface.

The Nokia Asha 311 features a 3.2MP camera and pre-installed Nokia Maps, in addition to the 15 level pre-bundled version of Angry Birds.

The Nokia Asha 305 is said to be a fun and entertaining Easy Swap dual SIM phone, helping users make the most of their phone while retaining control of their costs. The phone features a bright and colorful 3″ WQVGA resistive touch screen along with Bluetooth and Dual Band connectivity.

Forty EA games are available for download with every phone as well as a 2MP camera, Nokia Maps and the revolutionary Nokia Browser which helps significantly lower data costs.

The Nokia Asha 306, as mentioned above, is the sister device to the Nokia Asha 305. Along with all the features that come with its sister, such as 3″ WQVGA resistive touch screen and 40 EA games for download, the Nokia Asha 306 also provides WLAN, enabling users to stay connected while on the move. It also supports video streaming through both GPRS and WLAN, meaning this handset truly is a fun way to stay in touch.
