Are Nokia Asha Phones "Smartphones"?

                  Yesterday,I saw a Nokia commercial that if you buy a Asha 'smartphone' you will receive some kind of a gift voucher.Now I wan't exactly paying attention to the ad but when I heard the word 'smartphone' I was quite stunned
     
                       .Surely,I agree that Asha phones are the best feature phones available in the market at present but for that reason a "smartphone"??Isn't that a bit too much?Moreover ,they lack one of the main things that a smartphone possesses-multitasking .
                                   Yes,that is the main point of having a smartphone. You don't need to close an app to see your email or make an urgent call,it will stay active in the background until you resume the app.For me,it is the main thing in a smartphone(besides other things of course) and I just can't live without it
                              I just think that Nokia should stop calling its Asha phones smartphones.Cause that is gonna mislead the customers.Asha phones are about 5,500-6,500 INR in India while the lowest Android phones are above 7,000 INR. Obviously ,if one needs a cheap smartphone one will buy the Asha one,thinking it to be a smartphone.
                In the end it is true that the Asha phones are the best featurephones but they are simply not smartphones.Thats the truth.So, Nokia stop misleading your customers please.
