Nokia 306 is going to bring in more smartphone-like features to Nokia’s Asha series. It will also be the first full touch Asha series phone.
According to a leaked user manual by unwiredview, the new phone will have features like pinch to zoom, a pull down notification bar at the top of the screen (just like in an Android phone,) and other touchscreen related features that will be new in the S40 based Asha series. Some experts feel that the phone has a new OS from Nokia called Meltemi, which is a mix of Symbian and Meego OS.
