Nokia today announced the launch of the Nokia 101 and Nokia 100
phones, its most affordable phones to date.
The Nokia 101 is Nokia's fifth dual SIM device in the last three
months and is the most affordable to date. The dual SIM
functionality enables users to connect to two different networks to
receive calls and messages.
The Nokia

call or send a text message helping them manage costs and maintain
network coverage without needing several phones. In addition, the
SIM manager allows users to store the settings of up to five SIM
cards on the phone, and to personalize them by assigning names and
logos for each SIM setting.
In addition to an FM radio, the Nokia 101 features an integrated MP3
player and a 103 phon loudspeaker, and provides support for up to 16
GB microSD memory cards.
The Nokia 100
is perfect for people looking for durability and simplicity as well

Nokia 100 is Nokia's most affordable color display phone, and people
can enjoy its new grid-based menu system with easy-to-read icons.

tune into their favorite music stations, whether on-the-go or at
home.
