A week after Finnish handset maker Nokia launched Asha 210, the WhatsApp centric feature phone has already made an appearance at Indian online stores.

Nokia Asha 210 Dual-SIM version has been listed as 'coming soon' on Saholic.com and Inifbeam.com. The Saholic website mentioned that the new phone is expected to be available by 31 May.

Nokia Asha 210 sports a 2.4-inch LCD display with a QWERTY key pad which also includes the dedicated WhatsApp button for fast instant messaging on the go. Other specifications include a 2.0-megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom, 32MB RAM, 64MB memory with options of expanding up to 32GB via microSD card. A downside to the phone is the lack of a secondary camera. 

Apart from the WhatsApp key, another striking feature of the Nokia phone is that it comes with built-in voice guides that directs the user to come within the camera's frame to take a self-image. Asha 210 also has a hard-key camera button which can be used even when the phone's display is locked.
