The editors didn't like
Operating system looks and feels a bit dated
No Wi-Fi or 3G connectivity
The QWERTY keyboard is a nice thought and addition for messaging fans but unless you’ve got fingers the size of toothpicks
It feels clumsy to use. It isn’t sensitive enough
And feels too small to type on without making errors. One-handed texting proves tricky
But switch to two hands and it feels cramped. We’re not fond of the spacebar
Abstract: If you are looking for a budget priced handset then Nokia would like you to consider its Asha 201 model. Rather than its new best, platform-providing, buddy, namely Microsoft with its Windows Mobile offering, Nokia has opted to go with its own Symbian ser...
Overall, then, the Asha 201 is a handset that's limited by its operating system and by its lack of Wi-Fi and 3G as well as by its small, low resolution screen. It does have good battery life, and can tap into your social networks, but it isn't an ideal h...
Operating system looks and feels a bit dated, No Wi-Fi or 3G connectivity
The Nokia Asha 201 is a cheap mobile that looks and feels better than some devices two or three times its price, but Series 40 is a bit long in the tooth. Unless you want a throwaway phone or care little for new technology, a budget Android device or an o...
Good keyboard, Very long battery life, Nice Twitter and Facebook integration, MicroSD card slot, Solid build
No 3G, No Wi, Fi, Poor camera, Slow processor, Small, low resolution screen
Nokia has stuck its neck out in using the very old S40 operating system and foregoing Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. In the end we aren't sure it quite works for us. The slowish processor is a bind, and we'd have liked either Wi-Fi or 3G to make this handset feel ...
The Nokia Asha 201 is very much a budget phone but still puts up a good show for itself thanks to its decent quality keyboard, sturdy build and social networking functions. For keeping in touch on the go -- and at a very good price -- it does a decent ...
Slow connectivity, Laggy apps, Keyboard not crisp enough
If you need a phone with a physical keyboard, the Nokia Asha 201 is one of the cheapest you can get. However, its outdated OS and slow mobile internet connections stop it being much use in its role as a social networking and email tool. Other phones aroun...

The Nokia Asha 201 is a lovely little phone with some great features and looks, but its QWERTY keyboard isn’t the most comfortable, and the menu and navigation feel too clumsy to enjoy using it. Nokia Asha 201 is tagged with Nokia Asha 201, Nokia and ...
If your main requirements are making voice calls and keeping on top of your e-mails and texts then the Asha 201 is an easy recommendation. The screen is sharp and bright, the keyboard nearly faultless and the new-look S40 interface a joy to behold. If...
Very cheap; Decent design for a budget blower; Good social networking
Dated, sluggish interface; Spongy buttons and keyboard; No 3G or Wi-Fi
The Nokia Asha 201 is brimful of features, considering its teeny price. Sure, it won't win any speed awards, plodding along as it does with no 3G or Wi-Fi. But it will keep you connected to Facebook and email on a shoestring budget....

Great price, Solid feel, Good battery life
Slow web services, No Wi-Fi, No flash on camera
The Nokia Asha 201 does the basics with minimum fuss and costs a super-inexpensive £45 on pay-as-you-go. Battery life is great and we like how easy it is to find your way around everything.The music player is pretty basic but we like that there's support...
