Nokia has officially declared that the colorful Nokia Asha 501 smart phone will arrive this week at the markets of Thailand and Pakistan while availability in India follows shortly as well as in countries across Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America.

Nokia Asha 501 is the first in the new generation of reasonably priced smart phones to run on the new and fast Asha platform. "The new Nokia Asha 501 helps people quickly access everything they love with just a simple swipe. Coupled with beautiful design, it's a smart phone with both style and substance offered at a great price," stated Timo Toikkanen, the Executive Vice President of Nokia Mobile Phones.
The smart phone is noticeable due to its compact design with a tough removable shell and scratch-resistant glass display. Another standout feature is the available color choices of cyan, bright red, bright green, yellow, black and white but these hues will differ by market.
Consumers can choose from the available single or dual SIM feature on the Nokia Asha 501. The smart phone has a 3.2MP camera with EDGE EGPRS (2.75G) connectivity and 17 hours of battery life backup.
The accessories available for the Nokia Asha 501 are the Nokia Stereo Headset WH-108 and the CC-3070 back covers that can be interchanged to reflect the owner's personality. The Nokia Asha 501 back covers are available in eye-catching colors with a recommended retail price of €8.90 (US$12).
Nokia Asha 501 owners can simply swipe the smart phone to unlock, close apps or change between the Home and Fastlane screens. The Home screen fully utilizes the 3-inch showing the established application launcher.
The Fastlane screen is the exceptional second screen that adjusts to put on view the user's recent activity on the phone as well as upcoming events such as birthdays, song or apps downloads and schedule of meetings. Fastlane helps the user to multi-task as well with its support to social network sites like Facebookand Twitter where they can share directly from the Fastlane screen.
