Nokia, the leading mobile phone manufacturer, has announced the launch of Nokia C1-00, the first Nokia device that can be used by the subscribers for two SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) cards at the same time, in the local market to add up to the Eid celebrations, says a press release. "To celebrate the spirit of choice, we are glad to introduce a phone with 2-in-1 SIM solution. Nokia C1-00 allows consumers to have complete control on the SIM use" said Sajid Rizwan Matin, acting head of marketing of Nokia Emerging Asia. Nokia C1-00 offers affordability, great functionally and ease of use and has been designed for those who want cost optimisation when using mobile. "By simply holding down a key, people are able to switch between SIM cards. This enables them to take advantage of reduced call rates, flexibility when traveling from one country to another, or helps in sharing a phone within a family and still use their own SIM," he added. Nokia C1 owners will also benefit from a standby battery life up to six weeks, the longest ever for a Nokia mobile phone, especially useful where access to electricity is limited. The phone has the standard flashlight, a vivid color screen and FM radio with standard headphone. The product has a price tag of Tk 2,790.
