I heard and read somewhere that it is going to be release in this month, June 2013.
So far today, 20th, the model could not be found at Superbuy.my

I am thinking to get this or Nokia 301 as my secondary phone.

Yes, Symbian.

Finally, the phone is listed and available for sale at Superbuy.my @RM239.
Available in Blue, Black and Yellow.
However, no further discount, no free gift and no free shipping.
Also, have to wait 3-5 working days to ship out. Hence, no ready stock on hand.

While, Nokia Centre at Bintang Mall, Miri, Sarawak will receive by tomorrow. They are not sure about the available color yet.

I am so eager to buy now but I will wait for a couple of days.

EDIT: Asha 210 Malaysia Edition comes with dedicated Facebook button, not WhatsApp button (Which I am hoping for). Avaxx Facebook confirmed this.

EDIT 3PM: Superbuy.my provide further discount to RM229 (RRP: RM239).
Probably compensate for shipping cost?

EDIT 5PM: Ready Stock is available, indicated Delivery within 48 Working Hours

Yeah, you could be right. Only two of us. Well, what to do.
Almost everyone is "into" smartphone nowadays.

I am not sure whether the dedicated button could be changed from the Menu/Setting, but I am hoping it could.

EDIT: Just find out from AVAXX FB that the dedicated button could not be changed. It is hardwired. Refer to http://goo.gl/xlgFu, for detail.

Wechat is available for the S40, which is also a symbian OS I presume, not sure what are the chances to install to this phone thou. Would like to get some feedback before getting one biggrin.gif

i might go for asha210 rather than 501 though tongue.gif

asha501 is running a new platform, hence no simplified chinese input yet (nokia claimed that its not sold in china / hk market), still awaiting the update.

i jus contacted nokia a few times to check on the availability of whatsapp on 501, they said its jus out (though they promised july)

asha210 might b a safer choice jus as a pure 2nd phone with minimal smart features. but its a solid 2nd phone to have.

the qwerty keypad is not tat bad. for a budget phone. jus the texture a bit weird (rubberish + plastic) feel.
at this price. with dual sim + wifi. its a good enuf 2nd phone i'd say smile.gif

i have bought it yesterday, cyan color, rm239. actually was gonna go with the yellow one, but the one at the shop, its facebook & camera buttons was a bit slanted so i chose cyan instead. the os is ok, going back to classic symbian. so far the only problem i have is with the wifi performance, the antenna is pretty weak, although i sit a few meters away from the modem, the connection would sometimes lost. but i guess it's inevitable for a low end phone.

I'm wanna buy the Nokia Asha 210 with WHATSAPP button on it. Single sim, NOT dual sim.

Is it available?

Online it says it's priced at RM 230, please message me if you're selling it.

I assume it has warranty and the usual stuff it comes with like the charger.

Thanks.
