Recently Nokia’s mid-range handsets were ignored by geeks — they were all probably busy discussing Nokia’s cooperation with Microsoft оr “selling” it to the same Microsoft and even to Samsung. However, Nokia is a toughie and if its business is not so good in the West, it doesn’t mean Nokia has lost its popularity in the countries with low income, too. I can prove my words introducing the next dual-SIM device of the company, the Nokia C2-06 Touch and Type.
Like the previously announced Nokia C2-00 and the X1-01, this one doesn’t have any awesome features — only a 3-inch TFT QVGA display, a 2MP camera on the back, a QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth, FM Radio, EDGE/GPRS and a 3.5 mm audio jack.
Unlike the above mentioned handsets, the Nokia C2-06 Touch and Type comes in another form factor that reminds us the past times when mobile manufacturers filled the market with similar devices and they were very popular.
I think this handset can be ignored by those who prefer “smarter” and “nimbler” phones, but do not forget there are many other users who have lower incomes and can’t get more expensive devices. So the Nokia C2-06 is a perfect choice for them, plus it is a dual-SIM phone, and we can’t find such functionality in any high-end smartphone.
