No Meltemi, its Nkoia OS which is Symbian. Does it have Wifi Tethering?

Numerous of my friends who have no real interest in smartphones beyond messaging, emails and checking the headlines have got low grade Android devices and they utterly detest them. They didn't consciously decide they wanted an Android device it was simply because that's what's offered on the low monthly tariff plans now.
I suspect there are a lot of these people about, they may have Android devices but are not true Android (or even smartphone) converts, it's just that's the best device on offer with the contract that suited them.

i mean how do you expect Nokia to do so? this is the main reason they are falling behind...
I think this is related to my point above, the users that would previously have been offered Symbian phones on the low monthly tariff plans or subsidised carrier locked pay-as-you-go phones are now offered budget Androids instead. It seems to me as things stand Android will continue gaining market share by default simply because there's not much else in this market segment.
NOKIA need to produce something carriers and consumers want and quick.

LOL so much false information in this thread that it's sooo funny...
Latest Asha phones run S40Touch - still a Java OS like any other S40.
It's not Meltemi and it's not Symbian FFS.
Meltemi will arrive when it's ready.

Meltemi is way cooler than this S40 touch, but it is not ready yet. Integration is ongoing and will take a few quarters to mature.
S40 touch however shows swipe elements that I think likely will be a common theme for Nokia's swipe UX.... (never see Meltemi SW so this is pure speculation.)

Look at the availability page for the 311, NOKIA are planning on selling it right across Europe (although not the UK it seems) where EUR 7 is peanuts but where GPS on a budget device will be a big selling point.
311 Availability
Do NOKIA want to stuff it to budget Androids or not?
Also the "swipeUI" is promising. But so far swedish media has not got any attention to this device(s). Swedish Nokia is totally blinded by Microsoft crapphones.

i agree with you however look at the bigger picture, majority of sales will come from emerging markets, Europe while a wide market won't have huge sales. Brazil, India, Bangladesh, Thailand will surely provide with more than whole of Europe combined. Like i mentioned earlier the branding of the device to Asha shows the true intention of the series. It would most probably sell as prepaid devices in Europe for people to use and discard but in emerging markets it will become people's primary device that they expect to last for quite some time.
on the other hand, they could have made a 312 with GPS...
If Nokia does not, people go and buy a Samsung.
