By now, you all know that Nokia did the unthinkable yesterday and announced an Android line-up of devices at Mobile World Congress, after criticizing the platform for years and pushing Windows Phone with their Lumia brand. That launch comes so close to the company’s smartphone division being completely enveloped under Microsoft — end of Q1 2014 should be the final date — that we’re left scratching our head.

The word ‘Asha‘ is Hindi for ‘hope‘, and it defines Nokia’s strategy for its range that carries the same branding. The Asha range is all about hope — promising to bring cellular telephony to the masses and arming them with a tool that acts as their own little window to the world, keeping them connected through email and social networking.
