Nokia launches dual-sim phones C2 00 and X1 01

Finnish handset-maker Nokia has introduced two dual-sim phones in the Indian market - Nokia C2-00 and Nokia X1-01. The two phones are looking to set benchmarks in the dual-sim category for more memory, better battery life and richer SIM change and entertainment features.

Nokia crossed the 500-million mobile phone manufacturing mark at its Chennai plant recently. The company, which entered India in 2006 and spent $150 million as investment on its first plant, began with producing basic handsets.

Nokia C2-00 is the first Dual SIM phone to have easy swap, which offers consumers the convenience of changing SIM cards without the need to turn off the phone or remove the battery.
