If I can have the Asha 311 for 6,000 bucks, then I would actually be happy with it. Budget phone, great battery, has FB and twitter. My needs are already complete!

I took the liberty to submit the article to TechSpy (a newsboiler site).
 
I agree with that. And I doubt all the games running on the Asha 311 will run on Asha 305/6

Asha 311 has 128MB RAM (something). Asha 305/6 have 32MB RAM. I'm not even sure they are running the same iteration of S40.
