This week heralded the much anticipated sales launch of the Nokia Asha 501. This colourfully cool smartphone has been called “fun and vibrant” with “curves in all the right places”. But it’s got more than just looks. With an incredible 17 hours of talk time (and 47 days of battery life on standby) as well as a revolutionary Swipe user interface all for just $99 or 75 euros, it’s no wonder people can’t wait to get their hands on it. Nonetheless, we were keen to know exactly why people wanted to buy a Nokia Asha 501. So, we asked you on Twitter. Here’s what you had to say. 

All fantastic reasons why the Nokia Asha 501 looks set to be the most popular Asha yet. We certainly can’t wait to get hold of one, but what about you? Are you set to join the ever growing ranks of Asha aces across the globe? If so we’d love to hear your reasons why in the comments below.
