Nokia 109 announced, brings Internet to the ultra low end
Share:
The Nokia 109 will be an important device for Nokia that has now become more of a company known for its affordable devices sold en masse rather than for its high-end smartphones. 2G connectivity allows users on the 109 to use Nokia’s Xpress Browser.
Of course, this device will also last you more than a smartphone - expect to charge it around twice a week rather than everyday. Essentially, it’s a basic feature phone with a 1.8” 128 x 160-pixel display, accepting memory cards of up to 32GB. It has no camera, so it’s strictly calls, Internet and music on the handset. And it does music pretty well with the loudspeaker delivering 103 phons.
The Nokia 109 will arrive in black and cyan this quarter in China, Pacific Asia and Europe. The price is set at the pretty nice $42 with no contract ties.

Especially when you can get good quality rugged devices from Nokia, instead of SamSuck, HTCrap and LGarbage at the price that low.
I mean, C'mon they last for years! Not a joke.

Haha its great Nokia is now entering the low end smartphone markets. They really need to up their game or they are going to end up like blackberry.

This is not a smartphone and Nokia has been in the low end market since, forever. And about RIM, they are still alive irrespective of their losses.

Your previous comment didn't make any sense, and this also doesn't. You need to calm down, bro.

It doubles as an "ice scraper" the traditional tool used to crush ice in "halo-halo"

Looks like a good younger kid phone, and as a backup in a household with multiple phones.

Doesn't even have a fully fledged html browser, it's more like opera mini running on a dumb phone
