I’ve been with the Nokia Asha 503 for the past week and while it has its minor annoyances, I must say I did not expect to have as many good things to say about it as I do.
The Asha 503′s biggest advantage over the other members of the Asha family is that it runs on Asha Software Platform 1.2, exclusively. This has a number of implications, the most important being that it supports 3G (again, exclusively). Other subtle differences include quick access to camera from the lockscreen – by way of an upward swipe – and an option to show/hide highlights of notifications on the lockscreen, among other things.
The good stuff
Easy to use swipe-based UI; impressive battery life; not a data hog; very good keyboard, especially for a sub-4-inch device
The not-so-bearable stuff
No OS-wide copy-and paste support (even though 3rd party apps like WhatsApp and Opera mini have the feature); no true multitasking; secondary SIM inactive when connected to the internet; can’t take screenshots (aka munch).
