Nokia has decided to add full-touch handsets in its feature-phone line-up Asha. The touch device range includes Asha 305, 306, and 311 phones, which have 3-inch touchscreen display and run on Asha Touch user interface.

Nokia Asha range was first introduced in October last year and includes 10 models, which are available in over 130 countries right now.

The Nokia Asha 305, Asha 306 and Asha 311 offer a fully re-designed touch user interface, and are targeted at young urban buyers. Consumers will have access to 10,000 web apps as well as 25,000 regular apps via Nokia store on the new phones.

Asha touch phones also feature an updated web browser, which on the lines of Opera Mini, reduces data usage by up to 90%. This is not all, as the phones also come with 40 free games from EA including Tetris, Bejeweled, Need for Speed - The Run and EA SPORTS FIFA 1.
