Nokia has unveiled its latest Cseries mobile phones with three new products under the Nokia C1 name, as well as the new dual-SIM Nokia C2 which will follow at the end of the fourth quarter of 2010.
Nokia also took the wraps off the Nokia Bicycle Charger Kit, an alternative charging solution built especially for people with limited access to electricity.
The Nokia C1 trio (C1-00) is the first Nokia mobile phone to feature a 2-in-1 double SIM solution. “By simply holding down a key, you are able to switch between SIM cards. This enables you to take advantage of reduced call rates, flexibility when traveling from one country to another, or helps with sharing a phone within a family and still use your own SIM,”
Nokia C1 owners will also benefit from a standby battery time of up to six weeks, the longest ever for a Nokia mobile phone, especially useful in those parts of the world where access to electricity is sometimes limited. The standard flashlight – often someone’s only means of bright light – is paired with a vivid color screen and FM radio with standard headphone jack, meaning the Nokia C1 is as much about entertainment as it is about convenience.
