Nokia announces C2-05 low-cost feature phone

Nokia has announced the C2-05, a low-cost feature phone that will bring web functionality to emerging markets across the world. One of the main target markets will be China, so Nokia included built-in support for the QQ Chinese social network. The C2-05 features a sliding design with a traditional number pad and 2-inch QVGA (240 x 320 pixel) resolution display. It features a VGA camera and can play MP3 and MP4 files stored on a microSD memory card. The C2-05 can handle microSD cards up to 32GB in capacity, and also features a built-in FM radio.

Nokia is packing a stereo headset in the box with the C2-05, which measures 99.43mm x 47.77mm x 16.28mm (3.91in x 1.88in x 0.64in) and has a weight of 98.5g (3.47oz). Nokia will be offering versions that support either the 900/1900MHz bands or 850/1900MHz bands. The company claims the C2-05 will get four hours of talk time or 20 days of standby with its included battery. Running the show on the C2-05 is Nokia's S40 feature phone operating system. In addition to the pre-loaded QQ app, there are apps for Facebook and Twitter available as well. The C2-05 will be available in Q4 of this year in pink, peacock blue, and dynamic grey color options. It will cost about 50 EUR (US$69). Take a look at the video below to see the C2-05 in action.
