NOKIA C1-00 Dual SIM Card REVIEW

NOKIA C1-00 REVIEW

Today Nokia announced four new Cseries phones, including the Nokia C1-00. The Nokia C1-00 is Nokia's first phone to feature a 2-in-1 double SIM solution. It allows owners to switch between SIM cards by simply holding down a button. That allows owners to switch SIM cards while traveling between countries, or families and friends to share the same phone.By "double SIM" we mean that the C1-00 has two internal SIM slots, but only one is active at any one time and the user can swap between them by using a menu. This is different from "dual SIM" where there are two active SIM cards at any one time, such as the arrangement found in the Nokia C2.Apart from the SIM arrangement, the C1-00 is basically identical to the Nokia 1616 announced last year, with a 1.8" 128 x 160 pixel display, built-in flashlight, FM radio and a modernised Series 30 interface. It's worth noting that there is no data connectivity on the C1-00, so this is a device very much designed for making phone calls and sending SMS messages only.The standby time on the C1-00 is 48 days, which is almost 7 weeks. Talktime is a very good 13 hours, and the whole thing weighs just 73 grams and measures 107 x 45 x 15 mm. The C1-00 can be used with Nokia's optional bicycle charger too, so there might be no need to ever plug it in.
