From what I understand the Asha Platform is nothing but S40 with a new visual layer.
And WhatsApp should come on the new Asha devices. The backend is the same and Nokia does promote them heavily.
 
I thought it was something built on top of smarterphone's propreity OS

The Asha platform is a mobile operating system (OS) and computing platform designed for low-end borderline smartphones, based on software from Smarterphone which was acquired by Nokia. The platform inherits UI similarities from Symbian, Maemo and MeeGo, and replaces Series 40 on Nokia's low-end devices.[3] The user interface design team was headed by Peter Skillman, who had worked previously on webOS and the design of MeeGo for the Nokia N9.

The Nokia Asha software platform is designed specifically to power a range of affordable yet powerful smartphones. It's a direct descendant of the Series 40 platform. So, if you've delivered Java or web apps to Series 40, you'll be instantly at home with the Nokia Asha software platform.
