Nokia India has launched two new additions in its entry portfolio, the Nokia 2600 classic and Nokia 1209. Both attractively designed handsets offer a host of useful features for personalization and phone sharing and are ideal for consumers seeking a varying combination of features, design and value.

“Nokia is consistently working towards understanding consumer needs and aspirations and bringing out devices that fulfill these requirements,” said Devinder Kishore Director, Marketing, Nokia India.

Nokia said that according to its recent survey of consumers in emerging markets, a new trend appears to be emerging: phone sharing. More than 50% of respondents in India, Pakistan and nearly 30% in Vietnam indicate that they share, or would share, their mobile phone with family or friends, a figure which contrasts consumer behavior in more mature markets.

“Phone sharing is a logical trend, more and more families are purchasing a mobile phone for the entire family to use, not just the head of the household. In addition, digital cameras are quickly becoming more popular in these markets, and as such taking and sharing digital images is becoming more common,” added Kishore. “In response, Nokia has developed a number of innovative features like the multiple phonebook to support phone sharing, and we have added technologies like Bluetooth to some models to make transferring images and ringtones easy and affordable.”

The Nokia 2600 classic allows consumers to customize their phone with colorful, fully changeable Xpress-on covers and MP3 ringtones. It also has a number of entertainment features, including an integrated FM radio and a VGA camera. Additionally, the Nokia 2600 supports MMS and Nokia Xpress Audio Messaging, for recording and editing messages on the go.
