Everyone has their starting point. This phone is the definition of entry level. This is one of the phones that will allow you to connect to the world - Whatsapp, Facebook Twitter etc for a very small budget.
Equipped with Wi-fi Connectivity, the Asha 500 sets the starting point for those who want unrestricted internet access but with a very tight budget.
It has a 2MP Camera, not the best in the world but much better than any other phone at this price range. The battery is really good, up to 14 hours talk and over a month in stand by.

The phone is a full touch and therefore has no single button on it's face, except for the power button on the right side. Typing will not the best experience on this phone as it only has a 2.8 inch display.

My verdict: If you want an original smartphone with Whatsapp and Facebook and a touchscreen for less than $70, then this phone is for you. However, keep in mind that you can only use this phone for calls and chatting, anything beyond this will be abusive and will most likely result in the phone freezing.
