A stylish dual SIM phone with an external hot swap-enabled SIM slot and great multimedia and messaging features.
The C2-00 is a dual-SIM device, and the first to sport an external SIM card slot. As expected, this is hot-swappable - a feature that comes in handy if you have more than 2 SIM cards.
A long press of the [*] key brings up an option to set the preferred SIM for calling.
You can also choose the Ask every time option.
The network reception is superb and there were no call drops throughout the testing process.
Why Choose Nokia?
After losing a big chunk of the market to our Chinese brothers, Nokia has finally come up with a proper dual-SIM, dual-standby device.
In the current scenario, the phone not only has to fight off nameless Chinese rivals, but also emerging Indian brands such as Micromax, Spice, and MAXX Mobile. Past glory won't help Nokia sell its handsets any more. On the other hand though, the company still has the advantage of its reputation, earned for its good build quality.
This low-cost gadget is targeted at folks who prefer sturdy phones.
