I gave up on WhatsApp because I was not ready to buy a phone worth GHC 200+ just because of WhatsApp until I came across this easy way to install it on my Nokia Asha 200. When you visit WhatsApp's website, the only thing you get is "Your device is currently not supported".
Nokia Asha 501 users should keep an eye out for the next major software update, which will enable them to use WhatsApp Messenger along with a number of new features and services.I believe you were and still feeling bad as I was about your Nokia Asha 200 not able to support WhatsApp but Nokia Asha 201 does. It is also worth mentioning that while WhatsApp Messenger will soon be available for the Nokia Asha 501, the application has been confirmed to arrive pre-installed on the Nokia Asha 500, Asha 502 and Asha 503 Dual SIM when these handsets start selling later this year.
“You’ll also be able to see WhatsApp activity via Fastlane, the second home screen that acts as a shortcut to favourite apps and content, and features on all Asha Platform devices.” The application will automatically find and add contacts who are already using WhatsApp Messenger, so Nokia Asha 501 users will be able to take advantage of what the instant messaging app has to offer faster and easier.Īccording to Nokia, “with message notifications appearing on your Nokia Asha 501 when somebody gets in touch, using WhatsApp really does feel like using any other feature that was pre-installed on the phone, rather than a third-party app. Keep in mind that the application will only be available for download after the latest software update for the Nokia Asha 501 rolls out later this week.Īs expected, the application will be available for free, and Asha 501 users can download it OTA (over the air) via 2G or Wi-Fi connection. The second part of Nokia's promise will become reality within the next few days as the Finnish company has just announced WhatsApp Messenger will soon be available for Asha 501. Well, part of the promise was kept given the fact Instagram landed in Windows Phone Store only yesterday.
Nokia announced last month that it would bring Instagram to Windows Phone devices and WhatsApp Messenger application to Nokia Asha handsets.
