Nokia Launches Low End Dual Sim Phones - All under $50

[montsa007]

Nokia launches low-end 110, 112 cellphones - Tech News - IBNLive

There are 4 models in all.

2 models have dual sim, and the same 2 models are sold as single sim.

Priced under $50 for teens who can't afford smartphones.

On a serious Note - Nokia, please surrender to Android your days are numbered, maybe you'll launch some $2 phones someday. When the world is moving forwards, Nokia wants to move backwards, leave the low end market to China guys like Maxx, Micromax, G-Five etc.,

I still feel nokia is in the league. It still makes some really nice no nonsense phones. And is always reliable. IMO nokia should not surrender to android..

[MetalheadGautham]

Reliability is nonsense. I have used 4 nokia phones totally, 1100, 5130 XpressMusic, 2323 Classic and now am on a Nokia 101. 1100 was the only reliable phone. 5130 XM just died out all of a sudden with hardware failure and I lost important contacts. 2323 Classic I still use but the speakers have very low volume and I cannot answer calls in public places or loud environment. Nokia 101 is great but sometimes I need to go to loudspeaker and back again to fix call volume that is either too loud or too low. Plus Nokia 101 does not have seek in music player.

Its a big shame that they lost the no1 spot.

Since they are very good in basic and multimedia phone they are targeting on developing countries to take the number 1 spot again.

I agree with one part.Nokia does make good low end cellphones that does have good battery life.Not Smartphone
But at the same cost you get better entry level-from Samsung guru series or micromax

They dug their own graves mate.

When a dead horse like Motorola surrendered to Android, it rose from the ashes and made excellent recovery, why doesn't Nokia want to give it a shot?

Only because Nokia wants to be different from the crowd, so different that nobody buys it?

^ yup moto has made a very good come back, HTC too. I once remember HTC revenue shoot up like never before when they start using android.

Also I heard there is a big deal between Nokia and Microsoft, which is nothing but if Windows mobile fails Microsoft can easily point their fingers on Nokia.

Strange..My nokia 5130XM went through a lot of abuses but still it worked fine (for nearly 2 and a half years). I had dropped it numerous times, and it had dents (yes DENTS) all over it. BTW, using Ovi Sync, i didn't lose any contacts, when i lost the phone a few months ago. Presently i'm on Nokia 101, and it does have some glitches and peculiar problems.

Nokia made a disastrous decision to surrender itself to Microsoft.If this trend continues then it's not too far it will be R.I.P Nokia

I miss the golden Nokia era :-P

[papul1993]

I read something about Nokia releasing a very cheap black and white model in Africa. I wonder when it is coming here.

[amjath]

nice edit there @montsa007

@sai: that proves u cannot have Win Win situation all the time

[montsa007]

I read something about Nokia releasing a very cheap black and white model in Africa. I wonder when it is coming here.

Yes they are but I think it'll be exclusive to the African Markets, why on earth do you wanna even buy those phones when China Maal with loads of extra features will be available for the same price?

[papul1993]

Lol dude. Ever heard of the word 'reliability'?

None of these Chinese phones last for more than a year. Nokia phones are very reliable.

Yea I did hear of the word reliability, but a random guy would buy a china phone to impress people with the terrific sound and 100 Kilopixel camera, a 2GB Memory card, bluetooth, touch screen, etc., as opposed to a simple color phone thats good 4 nothing.

Indian mentality is more geared towards "Kam Daam and Features Zyada", its geeks like me and you who chase reliability and not raste ka maal saste mein

Imagine your Dad's message getting mixed with your friend and worse, you messaging your Dad assuming the message was sent by your dad while it was from your friend .
That's a real horrible incident am hearing for the first time.

C3 is a very good phone. I had this one before it got stolen.

For the hanging problem, try doing full system reset. And did you update the firmware?

All I can say is LOL. I'm sure you must have had terrible thoughts for hours over the incident of replying to the wrong person due to a software glitch

System Reset is a foolish idea, no doubt it works but would you be happy doing a system reset every now and then?

and in the middle of the impress run the mobile stops working. the screen freezes. he try to remove the battery but end up breaking the battery cover. he shouts, weep and throw the mobile in the dustbin promising himself never to buy a china mobile again

[saikiasunny]

Nokia 1100 FTW

[desiJATT]

Nokia 1100 FTW

Nokia 1600 has color screen, and talking clock. *owned*

But then, he walks into the shop and sees a new china mobile that has a glow in the dark feature, he falls head over heels for it and forgets the fact that he just weeped over a bad union....

Can someone get me the true story picture?

[desai_amogh]

I too think Nokia is in a deep 2h1t with the MS deal ...If they wanted to only manufacture Hardware.. they could have shipped it with any OS .. which is the best market strategy.. release phones with all OSs and whole world is your market.. im sure atleast 80% of digit users wouldnt want to use a windows phone... and recently, almost every one craves for Android ..
