Nokia has unveiled three new budget phones ot its new Asha Touch range of touchscreen S40 featurephones, namely the Asha 305, 306 and 311.

The Finnish phone maker, just like all Asha-branded devices, aims to deliver 3G technology for consumers who have tight budgets with the help of the trio. All three touchscreen handsets feature the Nokia Browser 2.0 mobile web browser, an app that Nokia touts will reduce data consumption by up to 90 percent.

Nokia promises 40 free Electronic Arts (EA) games for the Asha 305, 306 and 311 handsets, including titles such as FIFA 12, Need for Speed and Tetris. The Asha 311 is the most expensive one of this batch, and fittingly has the only preloaded Angry Birds mobile game.
