Nokia today unveiled the first of a new family of Asha smartphones with the launch of Nokia Asha 501, the 2G, and 3-inch touchscreen device. The device weights only 98 grams and comes in six colors choices while the thing that makes it perfect is that it comes in just two parts: a durable, removable casing and the scratch-resistant glass display.
