Enjoy a great web and maps experience, use a keypad or a touchscreen, and get
the best out of mobile networks
Singapore - Nokia today added to its device portfolio with the launch of three
new affordable phones - the Nokia C2-02, Nokia C2-03 and Nokia C2-06.
Mary McDowell, the head of Nokia's Mobile Phones business unit, said: "These
phones all offer a web, maps and messaging experience second to none in the
market. And with the choice of a touch screen or a keypad, we really have made
everything available and easy to use in an affordable phone that comes in both
Dual or single SIM options."
Maps and more
The Nokia C2-03, the third Dual SIM phone Nokia has brought to market in the
past month, comes with Nokia's unique Dual SIM capabilities. These include
features that allow the user to personalize up to five SIM cards with a
dedicated look and feel, and an Easy Swap option that lets users change SIM
cards in seconds without having to turn off the phone or remove the battery. The
Nokia C2-02 is a single SIM version with a similar feature set, as well as push
messaging options and a broad range of IM providers included, and the Nokia C2-
06 comes in a range of fresh colors with a clean, smooth finish.
The phones all ship with new Nokia Maps for Series 40, where local maps and
places of interest are pre-installed on the phone. This means users can view
maps and plan routes when the phone is in offline mode, thus saving on the costs
of downloading maps over the mobile network.
Internet for all
All three phones also deliver a great internet browsing experience through the
data compression technology of the Nokia Browser, which keeps the costs of
surfing low and speeds up page downloads - benefiting both consumers and
operators. The browser loads with a localized start page, giving the user
instant access to the most relevant content, and is tabbed to give easy access
to favorite or previously viewed information.
"We want the web to be easy to access, fast and affordable for all," continued
McDowell. "The technology behind the Nokia Browser means that consumers,
especially those new to the mobile internet, can get the information they need
quickly, as the Nokia Browser serves up relevant local content - making the
whole experience more personal and enjoyable."
The three phones also pack a stereo FM radio, media player and memory support
that can be expanded to a whopping 32 GB, letting users store thousands of
photos, videos and music files.
The estimated retail price of the Nokia C2-02 and C2-03 is approximately EUR 75
(USD 105) and for the Nokia C2-06 it is EUR 80 (USD 112). All of the devices are
expected to hit the market in the third quarter of 2011.
