Nokia India finally launched their Dual Simcard phones in India yesterday. The Nokia C1 (C1-00) and Nokia C2 (C2-00) models.
The Dual-Sim Nokia C1 is priced at Rs 1999 (before taxes and such) and offers such features as a flashlight, ‘vivid’ color screen, FM Radio, standard 3.5mm audio jack, standby battery time of up to six weeks and “call divert” so that you never miss a call from either of the two SIMs. Also, simply holding down a key will allow you to switch between the two SIM cards in the device. Since this is a dual SIM mobile (not dual standby), only one SIM will work at one time.
The Nokia C2 though, comes with Nokia’s Ovi Life Tools and Ovi Mail. Nokia’s Ovi Life Tools provides users information related to healthcare, agriculture, education and entertainment, whereas Ovi Mail offers free email accounts. The Nokia C2 has such features as, Dual SIM Standy mode (meaning both SIMcards are always in use), FM radio, music player and micro-SD support for cards of up to 32GB, and is expected to see at a price of Rs 2500.
