Nokia C1 & Nokia C2: Nokia Dual SIM Mobiles Launched in India

Nokia has unveiled its long awaited 2-in-1 dual SIM solutions in India - the Nokia C1 (C1-00) and Nokia C2 (C2-00). The two new devices, in the Nokia Cseries family, are available at very attractive and affordable price points and will address the consumer need for a Nokia phone boasting multiple sim functionality.

Nokia C1 and Nokia C2 will enable users to take advantage of a rounded feature set including multiple phone book options, long battery life, large screen and local language interface.

Unveiling the new devices, Mary McDowell, Executive Vice President, Mobile Phones, Nokia said, "As per our deep consumer insights, entry level consumers need dual SIMs for various reasons including economizing time and costs, improving efficiency and for increased convenience. To address these consumer requirements, Nokia has launched these two devices that offer multiple SIM capabilities with a balanced feature set and 'relevant innovations' at affordable price points."

Nokia C1 will be available at an MRP of Rs 1999/- and will be the first Nokia mobile phone to feature a 2-in-1 SIM solution. Nokia C1 owners will greatly benefit from the ‘call divert’ feature in the new phone, which will ensure that they never miss a call from either of the two SIMs. Moreover, by simply holding down a key, people will be able to switch between the two SIM cards in the phone.

Nokia C1 Features:

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 country 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.

Nokia C2 Features:

Nokia C2 comes with Nokia's innovative services including Ovi Life Tools and Ovi Mail. Nokia's Ovi Life Tools provides consumers a wide range of information covering healthcare, agriculture, education and entertainment, whereas Ovi Mail offers email accounts for the developing world.

6 New Sony Ericsson Mobile Phones for India; Xperia X8, Cedar, Aspen, Yendo, Zylo & Spiro

Sony Ericsson just unveiled six new phones in the Indian market, phones it describes as entertainment-packed...They are: Xperia X8 (previously known as Shakira), the affordable GreenHeart Cedar, the QWERTY messenger Aspen, and three Walkman phones – Yendo, Spiro, and Zylo. Unfortunately, no pricing details have been revealed yet. Sony Ericsson is happy with successful launch of the Fab 5 earlier this year, which were the Xperia X10, Vivaz, Xperia X10 Mini, Vivaz Pro, and Xperia X10 Mini Pro, and is looking to introduce a host of innovative new features with these devices into the Indian market, across various price segments.

Claiming to provide "an unmatchable user experience", the phones each have their own qualities. Let's take a look at them:

Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 - Another member of the Android 1.6 Xperia family, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 is a smaller, lower-powered Xperia X10, and is described as a "great entertainment smartphone that extends the appeal of the Xperia collection to new market segments." While one of the X10's signature applications, Mediascape, is missing from its portfolio, it features Timescape, and, due to its smaller screen, inherits the four-corner shortcut interface from the X10 Mini.

GreenHeart Sony Ericsson Cedar - Said to offer the "perfect balance between your business and social communication", the GreenHeart Sony Ericsson Cedar apparently provides easy browsing, emailing, and social networking with its 3G HSPA connectivity, all at an "affordable price", and with green features such as recycled plastics, a low power consumption charger, an e-manual, waterborne paint and compact packaging. Another of its USPs is Widget Manager 2.0, which supposedly gives users social networking features on the standby screen.

GreenHeart Sony Ericsson Aspen - The only dedicated business mobile of the lot, the Sony Ericsson Aspen is also the only Windows Mobile (6.5.3 Professional) phone. Branded as an "affordable GreenHeart phone", the Aspen offers green features similar to the Cedar. Citing its "rich user interface and powerful productivity tools" as its business capabilities, Sony Ericsson insists the phone also offers entertainment value, with its Media Browser and PlayNow features, as well as quick access to social networking.

Sony Ericsson Yendo - Sony Ericsson's first full-touch Walkman phone, the Sony Ericsson Yendo is described as combining "music, social networking and communication in one colourful phone. The Yendo also features the Xperia X8 and X10 Mini's four-corner shortcut touch-UI, to allow for one handed operation. The phone also features ease of social networking (including Facebook 2.6), instant/text messaging, and email use, and has a designed to be trendy device with numerous body colour choices and mix-and-match combinations.

Sony Ericsson Zylo and Sony Ericsson Spiro - Distinctly Walkman phones, the Sony Ericsson Zylo and Sony Ericsson Spiro are similar in interface and design, and supposedly "marry music with social networking", allowing users to access everything from Twitter to Facebook at the "touch of a button", without interrupting their music listening experience. The two phones also feature the TrackID function, which allows users to find the name and artist of any track they're listening to, "wherever they are".


Sony Ericsson's Anurag Kontu, Marketing Head – India, commented on the introduction of the new phones into the Indian market: "Greater access to applications and customizable user experience on handheld devices has shaped the mobile success story in India today. As the communication entertainment brand, Sony Ericsson phones have always enjoyed a phenomenal response from consumers in the region. With the launch of the new portfolio, we continue to offer an amalgamation of communication and entertainment by fusing together best quality touchscreen experience, premium imaging and music features, and great connectivity options across price segments."
