Telecom Lead Asia:
Nokia has launched two new mobile phone models – Nokia 110 and Nokia
112.
The Nokia 110 and Nokia 112 are both dual
SIM phones.
The Nokia 110 will also be available as single SIM
versions – Nokia 111 and Nokia 113, with this last one available in
Europe and Eurasia only.
The retail price for Nokia 110 and its single SIM
versions is about EUR 35 and they are expected to start shipping in the second
quarter of 2012.
The retail price for Nokia 112 is about EUR 38,
excluding taxes and subsidies, and is expected to start shipping in the third
quarter of 2012.
Both devices feature Facebook, Twitter and social media
networks. The internet experience is also smooth thanks to the Nokia Browser.
Nokia Browser allows users to consume less data by up to 90
percent, by compressing websites in the cloud.
The Nokia 112 features preloaded eBuddy instant
messaging service right out of the box, so users can use popular chat services
to keep conversations going 24/7.
“Today’s mobile phone users want a quick Internet experience that
allows them to discover great content and share it with their friends – but
without being held back by high data costs,” said Mary T. McDowell,
executive vice president, Mobile Phones, Nokia.
The Nokia 110 and Nokia 112 will bring free
40 key EA Games, valued at EUR 75 if bought separately, including well known
titles like Tetris, Bejeweled, Need for Speed The Run, Monopoly Here & Now,
and SimCity Deluxe.
Both new phones offer an improved VGA camera for sharp and
clear pictures with support for up to 32GB of external memory, enough for more
than 6000+ songs or 90,000 pictures.
Consumers can tune into their favorite radio stations and
share their favorite songs with friends over Bluetooth. The phones have been
optimized to provide a long-lasting battery life, with over 10 hours of talk
time and nearly a month’s standby, meaning that consumers can stay in-touch and
entertained all day long.
