As well as announcing the Nokia C2, Nokia E73 Mode US availability and a dynamo charger, Nokia also announced a trio of phones in the budget end of devices called the Nokia C1-00, C1-01 and C1-02.

The first of the trio is the Nokia C1-00 (pictured above) that has a double-SIM feature. The C1-00 is the cheaper of the three C1 phones costing just ‚¬30 when it launches (before tax and subsidies). The double-SIM feature, different to the dual-SIM feature of the C2, allows two SIM cards to be used in the phone. Rather than running both at the same time the user has an option to switch between cards by holding down a key. This is similar to the C2, but doesn’t allow both cards to be used at the same time. However, the double-SIM still lets users take advantage of two SIM card tariffs allowing you to get the best deal depending on what you are doing.

The battery life on the C1-00 is an impressive six weeks for standby and is capable of holding 500 phonebook entries and 250 text messages. A flash light is built in and an FM radio with a 3.5mm headphone jack to listen with headphones. The C1-00 is being made available 3rd quarter this year. [Read more…]

Nokia [NOK] has announced the Nokia C2 dual-SIM mobile phone. The target market for the C2 is the developing world. As the dual-SIM suggests, the device is capable of running two SIM cards at the same time.

What this exactly means is that the Nokia C2 can receive texts and calls to either SIM at the same time giving you two numbers to work from perhaps with one SIM card having the better deal on text messages and the other card having a better deal on voice calls.

What makes this even better is that the second SIM card is hot-swappable allowing it to be removed and another put in place while the phone is switched on. [Read more…]

We literally just mentioned that the HTC EVO 4G was available off-contract for $549 direct from the HTC online store. We then come across iFixit who have done a complete teardown of the HTC EVO 4G to see exactly what’s inside and what makes it function the way it does.

iFixit are well known in the Gadget world for taking apart high end gadgets, often Apple [AAPL] products, but anything with a high price tag. The latest teardown was made possible because of Google [GOOG] handing out free HTC EVO 4G’s at the Google I/O event that was held recently. The iFixit team managed to get one of the EVO’s and take it home to carve it apart.

iFixit say that the EVO 4G was an easy phone to take apart. All that was required was removing the back cover and then unfastening 6 Torx screws to reveal the insides. [Read more…]
