Nokia 208 Dual SIM for users on the go

MANILA, Philippines - Nokia expanded its range of classically designed mobile phones with the launch of the Nokia 208 Dual SIM, which combines the familiar candybar design with Nokia’s signature bold colors and 3.5G-capable Internet speeds.

Popular social apps, smarter imaging and productivity features such as Internet-sharing and Mail for Exchange support make these phones some of the most versatile at their price point.

“The Nokia 208 Dual SIM is designed for people who like a classic phone and traditional keypad but don’t want to miss out on smartphone experiences like staying connected to social media and accessing the Internet,” said Timo Toikkanen, Nokia executive vice president for mobile phones. “As one of our most affordable 3G devices yet, the Nokia 208 Dual SIM offers a perfect balance of performance, features and quality.”

Smarter features deliver greater versatility

It is ideal for use on the go, with a familiar, alphanumeric keypad for speedy texting and messaging, and Mail for Exchange for staying on top of work e-mail and calendar appointments.

The Transfer app, available in the Nokia Store, allows people to sync contacts directly from their smartphone and transforms the Nokia 208 Dual SIM into a secondary or companion device, perfect for travel.

The Nokia 208 Dual SIM has the added benefit of Nokia’s Easy Swap technology, allowing people to change SIM cards without turning off the device, to take advantage of more favorable tariffs.

Consistent with devices across the Nokia mobile phone portfolio, it offers faster and more affordable mobile Internet experiences. Support for 3G coupled with the data compression available with Nokia Xpress Browser help people enjoy rich mobile experiences at lower cost.

These experiences include top social apps such as Facebook and Twitter, alongside video streaming through YouTube and Vuclip. For even greater versatility, people can also use the Nokia 208 Dual SIM as a portable modem, simply by connecting the device to their laptop via a USB cable for Internet sharing anywhere, anytime.

The smart camera features of the Nokia 208 Dual SIM make taking pictures more enjoyable, with voice-guided self-portrait, sequential shot and panorama mode giving people more playful imaging options.

Sharing photos is a breeze with the Slam feature that allows people to share images with another Bluetooth-enabled device in just a few clicks.

The Nokia 208 Dual SIM delivers outstanding battery life — up to 20 days of standby time. Easy to clean and scratch-proof, it is durable for everyday use as well as more extreme conditions such as hot or dusty environments.

It is available in red, cyan, yellow, white and black. Its estimated retail price is $68.
