Nokia c101 c102 simple mobile phones

 

The Nokia C1-01 and C1-02 are set to tempt people who’ve never had mobile, or felt the benefits of mobile internet.

Nokia will launch two low-cost mobile phones targeted at people new to the world of mobile phones later in the year.

The Nokia C1-01 and Nokia C1-02 will each cost less than £33 but have colour screens, can be used for calls, texts and connect to the internet – but not at 3G connection speeds.

But unlike smartphones, such as the iPhone 4, the new Nokias don’t have touchscreens and you can’t use apps on them.

Chris Eagle, marketing director at Mobilechoices.co.uk, said: “It seems likely that these phones will be available on a pay-as-you-go basis, given their price.

“We don’t yet know which mobile networks will be offering them – but both look like they’ll fill a niche for first-timers.”

The Nokia C1-01 would be ideal as someone’s first mobile phone because it features:

• A basic camera
• An FM radio and music player
• An SD memory card slot.

The Nokia C1-02 is the next step up and majors on mobile internet. It has:

• Instant messaging
• Bluetooth
• An SD memory card slot.
