Nokia Announced Nokia C2-03 – Dual SIM and Touch and Type

Today during Nokia Connections event in Singapore, Nokia announced not only high-end smartphone Nokia N9 (the first MeeGo device) but also announced a very new touch and type Series 40 feature phone Nokia C2-03. It’s a slide out keypad phone.

The Nokia C2-03 is Nokia’s third Touch and Type phone and first such form factor to feature Dual-SIM. Up until now, Dual-SIM phones needed to be switched off and the battery removed, so that the SIM card could be inserted. Not now. The Easy Swap feature allows you to open the slot on the side of the phone and simply insert your new SIM, with no need to reboot.

The Nokia C2-03 will be available in Q3 2011 in India, China, SEAP, Eurasia and MEA (including Paksitan*), costing €77 (around PKR 9,450/-) (the price may vary from market to market) – excluding taxes and subsidies.

*With Nokia, Pakistan is listed with the countries under MEA (Middle East & Asia) and price in Pakistani Rupees we mentioned was just converted from €77 at current currency rates. It may vary in later dates. As well the price varies from region to region depending not only on currency changes but also the market value in the region. So do not consider the price exactly as it’s listed here.

 

Features

  • Series 40
  • Touch and Type user interface
  • 2.6″ touch screen
  • Size: 103 x 51.4 x 17 mm
  • Resolution: 240 X 320 QVGA

  • 2 GB microSD memory card included
  • Push email
  • Nokia Browser
  • Easy access to social networks via Communities
    client – Facecbook, Twitter and photos upload to Facebook and Flickr

As for Internet browsing, the newly released Nokia Browser for Series 40 is now installed as standard on all future Series 40 devices. This compresses all the data before it reaches your phone in order to give you a much faster, richer and more cost-efficient web experience.

Mary McDowell, the head of Nokia’s Mobile Phones business unit, explains why all these features have been included in the Nokia C2-03:

The Nokia C2-03 makes managing multiple SIMs simpler, without compromising on any other features. Why should consumers have to choose between touch and keypad, or forego a great web, map, entertainment or email experience? With the Nokia C2-03 we have made it all available on one affordable device.

  • It is a good device with the price. The function is so so. When I received the cell phone, the keyboard makes zizi noise. After had been used for a couple of days, the noise disappeared, but came out again and again. Finally, I decided to return it.
