Nokia launches dual-SIM phones
Finland-based Nokia, on Monday, announced its foray into the dual-SIM mobile phone segment with the launch of two new handsets, a move aimed at strengthening its market share in the country.
The two handsets — C1 and C2 — are the first two dual SIM handsets being launched, Nokia Executive Vice-President (Mobile Phones) Mary McDowell told reporters here. The Nokia C1 (C1-00), which is priced at Rs 1,999, comes equipped with flashlight and FM radio.
It will have a ‘call divert’ feature to ensure that users don’t miss a call from either of the two SIMs. However, the handset can only be used for voice and SMS. The Nokia C2, which will be available later this year, will allow users to access services like Ovi Life Tools and Ovi Mail. It will also have a music player and support micro- SD cards of up to 32 GB capacity.
Nokia’s Ovi Life Tools provides users with a range of information covering healthcare, agriculture, education and entertainment.
