Nokia X1-01 and C2-00 with dual SIM

Nokia will offer Dual SIM handset which are affordable and wonderful this quarter. Nokia X1-01 is announced and C2-00 is available for shipment. Both have dual sim dual standby technology.

Dual SIM, Dual-Standby devices allow users to choose which SIM card to use for calls, messages and other functions, and switch between them easily from call to call. The ‘Dual-Standby’ part means that you can always receive notification of calls and messages on each account – rather than having to switch your SIM cards on and off.

Both devices are no-nonsense, inexpensive phones that offer an exceptionally long battery life. That’s up to 43 days standby time and 13 hours talk time on the Nokia X1-01 – or 36 hours if you choose to play music solidly. The Nokia C2-00 offers a still-gigantic 19.2 days standby time, with 5.75 hours talk time.

Nokia X1-01

The Nokia X1-01 is a music machine, as evidenced by the massive speaker on the back, which can deliver up to 106 phon. A phon (and you’re forgiven for not knowing – we didn’t until we looked it up on Wikipedia) is a unit of perceived loudness. If you have 106 of them in a mobile device, it’s loud enough to serve as a makeshift home-entertainment system. The speaker has also been specially tuned so that there’s little distortion, even when turned up to eleven. The Nokia X1-01 has in fact got the loudest and clearest speaker Nokia has ever produced!

The device offers support for up to 16GB of storage using the SD card slot – enough for thousands of songs on board. It offers an FM radio, of course, and also an MP3 music player with dedicated music keys and one-click creation of a favourite playlist. The 3.5mm AV jack can be used to plug the output into headphones or even louder speakers. The Nokia X1-01 also has a flashlight on the top. That’s a useful feature for anyone, but especially so if you can’t rely on the power supply or where civic lighting doesn’t exist.

In addition to remembering the settings for up to five separate SIM cards, the Nokia X1-01 also lets you give each SIM its own logo, music signature or ringtone.

Nokia C2-00

The Nokia C2-00 offers a number of additional features. The main one is the way the SIM cards are arranged, offering Easy Swap, a feature that’s only on offer from Nokia. One SIM card is stored internally, like a traditional phone. The second card is easily accessible through a slot in the side – so you don’t have to open or even switch the phone off to change SIMs. This is especially useful for people who want to use more than two SIMs, such as if the phone was to be shared between different members of a family, a group of friends or various community members, for example.

While the Nokia X1-01 runs the Series 30 operating system, the Nokia C2-00 runs Series 40, which offers some key advantages in the form of internet access, a web browser and Nokia Messaging for email. The Nokia C2-00 also sports a VGA camera and allows for MMS messaging. There’s support for up to 32GB of storage using an SD card, allowing users to carry thousands of photos, videos and music files.

OVI will become NOKIA!

Nokia will change its services brand OVI into NOKIA!

Nokia’s EVP and Chief Marketing Officer, Jerri DeVard explains the shift:
“We have made the decision to change our service branding from Ovi to Nokia. By centralizing our services identity under one brand, not two, we will reinforce the powerful master brand of Nokia and unify our brand architecture – while continuing to deliver compellingopportunities and experiences for partners and consumers alike.”

The transition from Ovi to Nokia will begin in July this year, with the intention of it being completed across all countries and all services by the end of 2012. It’s likely that anybody buying a new Nokia smartphone or mobile phone later this year will start to see the new branding on services included within. However anybody already owning a Nokia phone will see this new rebranding through future software updates.

Jerri continues:
“The reasons for this decision includes the fact that Nokia is a well-known and highly-loved brand the world over. Our mobile experiences are tightly integrated with our devices – there is no longer a differentiation. For example, if consumers want the best mobile navigation experience, they know it’s a Nokia that they can rely on. These last few years, and moving forward, our mission remains unchanged: we will continue our work to deliver compelling, unified mobile service offerings and next-generation, disruptive technologies.”

Nokia Drop, drops in to Beta Labs

(NOKIA GLOBAL) – Yesterday saw the launch of a new experimental app right from Nokia Beta Labs.Nokia Drop allows you to ditch the Bluetooth dongle or the data cable and instead send links or photos from your computer browser with one click of the mouse and watch them magically and instantly appear on your Nokia device.

Nokia Drop was built using Qt and offers quick transferring of items on the Web to your phone without the need of using cables or bluetooth. Handy if you’re away from your home PC or if you can’t find the cables. What’s even better is that this utilises the Nokia Notification solution so your phone isn’t sitting there eating up battery power or your data plan, the app is only active when you’re being sent something.

There are two parts to this app, the app for your phone and a plug-in for your browser, which currently supports Chrome and Firefox. Installing the browser extension is the first step in the process and will leave you with the Nokia Drop icon at the top of your screen. Here’s Nokia Drop installed on Google Chrome:

The next step is to install mobile client onto your device, which will then sit there waiting for something to be transferred. When you’re browsing on the Internet, you can right click on a picture and select the Nokia Drop option, followed by Send image or Send as wallpaper which will open up the app on your phone. If you selected the latter option, whichever homescreen you were on at the time would now have the new wallpaper. If you select just to send the image, it will sit in your photo gallery for use at a later time.

You may find a website you want to visit later on when you’re away from your computer, just move your pointer over a URL and right click, selecting Nokia Drop, Send link. It will sit in the app on your phone ready for you to click it.

Here’s John Markow from Nokia Beta Labs, telling us a bit about Nokia Drop.

FACEBOOK & NOKIA LOOK TO BRING SOCIAL NETWORK TO MOBILES

Facebook is in discussions with Nokia on ways to integrate the popular social network into mobile phones made by the Finnish giant according to a news report. The report, citing "people familiar with the matter," said Palo Alto, California-based Facebook and Nokia were discussing a partnership that would embed parts of the social network into some Nokia phones. The report also said that talks have been going on for months. Financial terms of the potential deal could not be obtained, it said. The newspaper said Nokia, the world's largest mobile phone maker, was deciding whether it wanted to team up with an established Web player like Facebook or "build a social network from the ground up." It said the two companies were looking at potentially integrating contact information stored in Facebook with a phone's address book. "When users looked up a contact, they could see whether their Facebook friends were logged on, send them messages and post comments on their profile pages," the report said. According to Nielsen Co. figures cited by the report, Facebook in December surpassed rival MySpace in terms of the number of visitors from mobile phones -- seven million US mobile users for Facebook compared with 5.7 million US mobile users for MySpace.
