how is nokia asha 502 phone? does it support whatsapp? and what is its cost?

[debanu]

it has the normal stuff you would expect: wifi, 5MP camera, bluetooth 3.0...
it supports whatsapp but you have to download it from the store (doesnt come preinstalled)
it has fastlane which is basically a list of apps you have accessed recently. keep in mind that this phone doesnt have multitasking capabilities. only certain social networking apps (whatssapp, facebook etc) and the music player work in background mode, thats it.
dont expect incredible apps on this phone and many major apps like viber, skype, hike etc are yet to come (not sure if they ever will launch).
it has a flash, no 3g,and 1GHz processor. it lags sometimes. it has no copy paste option. an on board PDF and docx reader is available but they need internet connection and are not worth your time (useless and difficult to use).
theres someone here who mentions that theres no contact search. thats incorrect. there is one. some people dont know it because it has a very fancy approach....kinda cool if you ask me...

bottomline, HORRIBLE PHONE!!

take my advice and go for a lumia. the 520 is an excellent choice best phone of 2013), or you could wait a litttle longer for the 525 (with flash, better processor 1.2gigs).525 may be expensive. if nothing else, go for lumia 510 or 610- slightly outdated phones running windows 7.5, but very good.
