Like the saying goes in local parlance, “when the big masquerade emerges, the smaller ones take cover”. This seems to be the story in the mobile phone market as giants, Nokia with a reputation for churning out innovative products and services for its respective customer segments recently excited the popular Computer Village, Ikeja, Lagos with the unveiling of a set of dual SIM phones.
Known as the Nokia C2-03, Nokia C2-00 and the X1-01, the devices are the most affordable amongst its competitive peers across brands.
Lead of Marketing, Nokia West Africa, Mr. Reuben Onwubiko said the move validates the fact that Nokia is a listening brand that will continually seek ways to surpass the expectations of its customers.
Described as a “Touch and Type” phone, (meaning it combines a physical keypad with a touchscreen), the C2-03 is designed with people with multiple SIM needs in mind. It can take two at a time but it also has the capacity to remember the settings for five SIMs in total.
The phone has an “Easy Swap” feature, meaning that you can simply pop a new SIM in, using the side slot, and you won't even have to reboot.
With 400 hours of standby, 5 hours of talk-time and 35 hours of music playback and an on-board memory of 10MB, you are thinking of adding some tunes, you'll need to expand using the microSD option of up to 32GB. It comes with Nokia Maps among other features.
The C2-00 phone has an external SIM slot for multiple SIMs. Other features include microSD support up to 32GB, media player, 3.5mm AV connector, GPRS, VGA camera as well as web browser and micro USB connector slot. The C1-00 is also a messaging device which means users can stay in touch with their loved ones real with the chat applications of yahoo, facebook and other social media platforms.
The X1-01 on its part is an affordable dual-SIM music phone. It allows users to give each SIM card a name and a dedicated logo as well as MP3 dedicated ring tone. Other features include an MP3 music player, FM Radio, built-in flashlight, extra long battery life and pre-loaded games.
Onwubiko also noted that the phones come with Nokia’s proprietary personalized service, the Nokia Life Tools (NLT). The NLT enables users to benefit from personalized information on health, agriculture, sports and entertainment.
He explained that these features and benefits are only available in genuine Nokia devices and advised Nigerians to avoid being conned into buying counterfeit devices under any guise.
Nokia is the world’s number one manufacturer of mobile devices by market share. Beyond its leadership status as a manufacturer of devices, Nokia is fast becoming a leading solutions provider in the converging Internet and communications industries providing Internet services that enable users to experience media, messaging, maps and games.
