Finnish phone maker Nokia has launched three new phones – the Nokia C2-02, Nokia C2-03 and Nokia C2-06, which are targeted at the lower end market.
The estimated retail price of the Nokia C2-02 and C2-03 is approximately EUR 75 ($105) and for the Nokia C2-06 it is EUR 80 ($112).
However, the company claims that the phones have features matching some of the more expensive phones on the stores.
Nokia Mobile Phones business unit chief Mary McDowell 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."
The Nokia C2-02 is a single SIM version. It features push messaging options and a broad range of IM providers.
The Nokia C2-03 comes with Nokia’s unique Dual SIM capabilities. Users can personalise up to five SIM cards with customised look and feel. It also comes with an Easy Swap option that lets users change SIM cards without having to turn off the phone or remove the battery.
The Nokia C2-06 comes in a range of fresh colours, said the company.
All the new phones come with new Nokia Maps for Series 40, which allows users to view maps and plan routes when the phone is in offline mode. They also feature the data compression technology of the Nokia Browser.
McDowell said, "We want the web to be easy to access, fast and affordable for all."
"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."
All the the three new phones also feature a stereo FM radio, media player and memory support expandable up to 32 GB.
All the three phones are expected to hit stores in the third quarter of 2011.
