Nokia expands portfolio of highly affordable, 3G mobile phones
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Nokia 207, Nokia 208 and Nokia 208 Dual SIM offer performance, versatility and
quality
Espoo, Finland - Nokia today expanded its range of classically designed mobile
phones with the launch of three new, high-performing handsets. The Nokia 207,
Nokia 208 and Nokia 208 Dual SIM combine the familiar 'candybar' design with
Nokia's signature bold colors and 3.5G-capable Internet speeds. Popular social
apps, smarter imaging and productivity features such as Internet-sharing and
Mail for Exchange support make these phones some of the most versatile at their
price point; perfect for people balancing work and play.
"The Nokia 207 and Nokia 208 are designed for people who like a classic phone
and traditional keypad but don't want to miss out on smartphone experiences,
like staying connected to social media and accessing the Internet," said Timo
Toikkanen, executive vice president, Mobile Phones, Nokia. "As our most
affordable 3G devices yet, the Nokia 207 and Nokia 208 offer a perfect balance
of performance, features and quality."
Smarter features deliver greater versatility
The Nokia 207 and Nokia 208 are ideal for use on-the-go, with a familiar,
alphanumeric keypad for speedy texts and messaging, and Mail for Exchange for
staying on top of work email and calendar appointments. The Transfer app,
available today in the Nokia Store, allows people to sync contacts directly from
their smartphone* and transforms the Nokia 207 and Nokia 208 into secondary or
companion devices, perfect for travel. The Nokia 208 Dual SIM has the added
benefit of Nokia's Easy Swap technology, allowing people to change SIM cards
without turning off the device, to take advantage of more favorable tariffs.
Consistent with devices across the Nokia Mobile Phones portfolio, the Nokia 207
and Nokia 208 offer faster and more affordable mobile Internet experiences.
Support for 3G coupled with the data compression available with Nokia Xpress
Browser help people enjoy rich mobile experiences at lower cost. These
experiences include top social apps such as WhatsApp**, Facebook and Twitter,
alongside video streaming through YouTube and Vuclip. For even greater
versatility, people can also use the Nokia 207 and Nokia 208 as a portable
modem, simply by connecting the device to their laptop via a USB cable for
Internet sharing anywhere, anytime.
Playful imaging features and Nokia durability add to versatility
The smart camera features of the Nokia 208 make taking pictures more enjoyable,
with voice-guided self-portrait, sequential shot and panorama mode giving people
more playful imaging options. Sharing photos is a breeze with the Slam feature
that allows people to share images with another Bluetooth-enabled device in just
a few clicks.
The Nokia 207 and Nokia 208 deliver outstanding battery life - up to 33 days of
standby time for the Nokia 207 and Nokia 208, and up to 20 days of standby time
for the Nokia 208 Dual SIM - helping people stay connected for longer. Easy to
clean and scratch-proof, the handsets are durable for everyday use as well as
more extreme conditions, such as hot or dusty environments.
The Nokia 208 will be available in single SIM and Easy Swap Dual SIM variants.
The Nokia 207 will be available as a single SIM option without a camera in
Europe. Available colours include red, cyan, yellow, white and black. The
estimated retail price for the Nokia 207 and Nokia 208 is 68 USD (52 Euros) and
they are expected to start shipping during third quarter of 2013.
