hello I'm the Westray for seniors at Mobile World Congress 2014 taking a look at this tiny thing it's the Nokia Asha 230 now if you're used to high-flying cutting-edge smart phones then this thing could be a bit of a shock to the system because it's absolutely tiny and it's very basic but the upside there is that it's extremely cheap this thing is only going to cost 45 euros so if you've never used a smartphone this could be the perfect introduction or it could make a new backup phone let's talk about the hardware this is a 2.8 inch screen it doesn't have a very high resolution the icons of the text is looking a little bit fuzzy but again bear in mind the price if you spin it around on the back there's a 1.3 megapixel camera don't expect to take any prize-winning photos with that but in mind to a good job of capturing the moment unlike lots of very cheap smartphones it's not running Android but Nokia has taken care to put a couple of software treats on here for instance you get access to Microsoft's onedrive cloud storage so you can put all your photos online and you also get this rather neat app called Asha motion now what this does is lets you create some pretty designs using the phone's accelerometers that you can then save as a wallpaper nokia says it's going on sale immediately around the world do you think this could be your first smartphone let me know and check out cnet.com for much more from Mobile World Congress
