Nokia's biggest announcements in Abu Dhabi today will no doubt focus on Lumia devices first and foremost, but it's not leaving the Asha lineup out in the Finnish cold. The company's announced that it's adding three successors to the Asha 501, the petite smartphone/featurephone hybrid released in May: the 500, the 502 and the 503. They will come in standard colors with a clear "icy" layer. One of the standout new features is the ability to take a photo with a single swipe. You can also swipe to launch galleries and there's a "one touch to share" functionality as well. Even though Whatsapp has been available on Asha phones for awhile now, Nokia highlighted the app at the event, noting that Whatsapp registers 250,000 users everyday through Nokia handsets.
