Nokia yesterday launched its first series of dual sim handset with built-in Nokia browser in Bangladesh, the company said in a statement.
The phone — Nokia C2-03 — is priced at Tk 7,900. It is S40-based slider with advanced features, including 2.6 inch QVGA resistive touch screen display, GSM / GPRS / EDGE connectivity and Nokia maps for S40.
The set also contains 3.5mm headset jack, stereo FM radio, 2 mega pixel camera, 10 mega byte internal memory and MicroSD card which supports up to 32 giga byte.
The phone launched at a programme at National Press Club in Dhaka is targeted for people who desire cost saving features without compromising the technology, the statement added.
With the Nokia browser built-in, browsing the internet has never been faster as it compresses all the data before it reaches to the phone for faster, richer and cost-efficient web browsing to reduce data cost upto 90 percent, the company said.
“Nokia is committed to connect the millions of people in Bangladesh with the wonderful world of internet. In the past few years Nokia has consistently worked to drive internet education and usage. Be it by ensuring affordable internet enabled device or providing the first email account for the consumers, Nokia has always lead the way for a connected Bangladesh,” said Abu Daud Khan, country manager for Nokia operations in Bangladesh and Nepal.
Nokia’s consistent effort to drive more value has never stopped, Khan added. “Yet again we are here with an exciting new feature that will change the internet usage of millions of consumer. Going forward this is going to be a key feature that will add incremental value to the consumers of Bangladesh by driving a superior mobile internet experience.”
