At last! Nokia has finally rode into the band wagon and made a dual SIM phone. Nokia introduces the C1-00 their first dual SIM phone to be released in the market. After years of watching their rivals release dual sim phone one after another, Nokia have decided that it’s time for them to take a bite out of the dual SIM market. But looking at their C1-00 phone specification, I noticed something that turns me off. See it on your own. Here’s a quick specs.

Key features:
* Entry level dual SIM feature phone
* Dual-band GSM support (GSM 900/1800 MHz), no dual standby
* 1.8″ 65K-color display of 128-by-160-pixel resolution

* Low price
* Promising 1020mAh battery

Main disadvantages:
* Only one SIM card is active at a time
* Keypad not comfy enough
* No memory card slot

See the first disadvantage? “Only one SIM card is active at a time”. WTH! This is not a proper dual sim phone. Samsung has made better dual sim phones than this. Go back to the drawing board Nokia you can make something better than this. As for now, please don’t release it in the market. A lot of people will get disappointed of this crap.

NOKIA 5630 REVIEW

The Nokia 5630 is another great XpressMusic phone coming from our friendly Finns to offer us a new product to review. The Nokia 5630 is a slim phone but packs a whole lot of features including a symbian OS making this unit a smart phone and a zippy ARM 11 600 MHz processor. A sharp mind in a fit body indeed.

This phone is a joy to review but of course, we can’t say that this is a perfect phone because it also has it’s flaws including its cheap plastic build, LCD screen is a bit small, camera has no autofocus and video recording is poor. But before casting the first stone, think again because the Nokia 5630 is slim enough both price and girth to dodge even the most amenable critics.

Nokia 6700 Classic has 5 megapixel autofocus camera, GPS navigation with Nokia Maps and the awesome Nokia WebKit Open Source Browser, previously available only on the Symbian S60 smartphones. Most gadget reviews will recommend this phone because it is cheap and savvy. Furthermore, Nokia 6700 Classic is only 11mm of thickness and full metal keymat. It also has a built in accelerometer for tap-for-clock and turn-to-mute features. Despite of the lacking of Wi-fi connectivity, this mobile phone deserves a great review when talking about simplicity and being user-friendly. Nokia 6700 Classic by most reviews could definitely define the meaning of simple usage with touch of elegance and technology.

But on to the negative side, Nokia 6700 Classic isn?t perfect. There are reviews that this Nokia phone can be irritating. Nokia 6700 Classic, according to some reviews, doesn?t have a fabulous design. There are buttons that are confusing and does not necessarily helps in obtaining the user friendly status of all Nokia handsets. Nokia 6700 Classic has a finger flat keypad and has a chrome finish that easily attracts fingerprints. The number pad is flat and it will surely get in a way when it comes to speed texting. Reviews base on technical sides are not very fond of this handset. With the rise of modern technology and touch screen handsets, Nokia 6700 Classic is a big down low for Nokia. But for cellular phone users who?s after easy call and text spree phone, this bad publicity in this review might not that essential at all.

NOKIA SURGE

Nokia Surge, the newest and latest mobile phone for this generation. Here?s another breakthrough for Nokia, the used to be world top leading Mobile Phone Company had just recently launched its coolest Smartphone, Nokia Surge. AT&T and Nokia had just developed the hippest S60 handset and now with a twist. Surge is not only for communication innovation but also for communally inclined users who wants to keep in touch with their social network 24/7.

As far as technological fusion is concern, this is Nokia?s greatest leap considering they are on the very verge of going down. Apple and Blackberry are kicking them out of business and by launching Nokia Surge it will definitely bring them back from the dead. And if you are getting the impression that this is just another E71 evolution, it is surely not. Its fab and stylish looks combined with competitive services like AT&T Navigator, Yellowpages.com, Where, AT&T Music, Mobi TV, Video Share Juicecaster and AT&T Mobile Banking builds the impression that Smartphones are no longer a luxury but a necessity. Nokia Surge is by far the most ground breaking gadget launch in 2009.

Nokia Surge features a full slide QWERTY keyboard in a slim and sleek-stylish look. It has a Symbian S60 multi-tasking function that makes it the most convenient and ideal Smartphone ever existed. Another magnificent feature of this mobile phone aside from its remarkable messaging capabilities is its striking browsing experience. Nokia Surge has Flash Support that allows user to view various sites in full HTML mode. That includes watching YouTube videos and checking your profiles in Friendster, Twitter and Facebook. Nokia also ensure that Surge will also permit users to post messages, videos, comments and images to every social network sites of their choice.

Considering there are lots of options to choose from, I don?t necessarily conclude that Nokia will beat the dirt out from their sockets when Apple launches their Iphones a year ago. But one thing for sure, Nokia Surge will serve as the momentous comeback of Nokia and everyone will rack up their budget just to have one.
