Nokia has annouced 3 new Symbian S40 series phones - C2. First of all, don’t get confused by the names, Nokia has this weird terminology to name few of its phone same and then give them a number to distinguish. All three phones have exact same features except that:C2-02 : Single SIM card slot
C2-03 : Dual SIM device (SIM slots at the side panel, and can be inserted without reboot)
C2-06 : Dual SIM phone with a range of colors to choose from
Lets dig into the detail now.
It has been a while since we have seen quality slider devices for the mass market. And it looks like we finally have a decent slider handset. C2-03 is a slider phone and is part of the new Touch-n-Type series (TnT), features a 2.6” 240x320 pixel 65k color resistive touch screen and a traditional keypad. These devices weight 118g and are 17mm thick which should be good but it would’ve been great if they had the dimensions and weight of X3-02, which was just perfect.
These devices are powered by re-designed Symbian S40 OS. The most notable feature in this new version of S40 OS is ‘Nokia Maps’. Yes, finally, S40 users can enjoy the hugely popular navigation software in their devices. Another interesting feature is the new browser for S40. Nokia says that this new browser compresses the data before it reached the phone and it is done by using localized server pages and proxy server facility that reduces the size by up to 90% and also optimizes the pages to look great on S40. With heavy download caps on data plans in India, this can be a very useful feature.
Battery life is rated at 5 hours of talk time and 35 hours of music playback.
