Nokia announces the availability of the Nokia C1-00 -- Nokia's first mobile phone featuring a 2-in-1 double SIM solution that gives you more control over phone expenses, more storage, and more security for your second SIM.
“By simply holding down a key, people are able to switch between sim cards. This enables them 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 their own SIM,” said Benoit Nalin, General Manager, Nokia Philippines. “This is a great added convenience feature considering the affordable price of the phone.”
Nokia C1-00 owners will also benefit from a large phonebook that can store up to 500 entries, a multi-phonebook for up to 5 users, a large memory enough to store 250 messages, standby battery time of up to six weeks with up to 13 hours talk time, the longest ever for a Nokia mobile phone. The standard flashlight – often someone’s only means of bright light – is paired with a vivid color screen and FM radio (only works with separate headset) with standard headphone jack, meaning the Nokia C1-00 is as much about entertainment as it is about convenience. Also, it sports a highly dust resistant tactile keymat with anti-scratch cover, an internal handsfree speaker, loud mp3 grade ringtones, a calendar with reminders, a calculator, and a speaking clock in local languages.
For the financially conscious consumer, the Nokia C1-00 is about durability, longevity, style, and choice. Being able to have two SIM cards in one mobile phone allows you to use one for calling and another for sending out messages. You can also use a different card to call other people on other networks where call charges are more cost efficient. If you’re a constant traveler and have a specific SIM card that you use for the country you’re visiting, you can insert your international SIM and still have your home SIM in the same device. Switching from 1 SIM to the other is easy with the dedicated shortcut key for the SIM Switch function to take effect.
The Nokia C1-00 has a suggested retail price of PhP2,070 and is available in red or medium blue at all Nokia Stores and authorized distributors nationwide.
