Nokia unveils the 207 and 208 3G Phones

Nokia today unveiled three 3G-enabled phones, named 207, 208 and 208 dual-sim. The three feature phones sport candybar shape and have bright coloured back covers, similar to the Lumia range and the new Asha 501.

Remember the days before all this smart phone craziness? The days when our phones were just cellular and not all that smart? The days when battery life was not a concern as phones lasted days without a charge. Nokia has added its Xpress Browser, Mail for Exchange, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube in all three handsets. The Finnish manufacturer has also included WhatsApp in the single-sim variant of 208, but it will not be available in the dual-sim version as well as 207 "initially." 

The phones will be compatible with the new Transfer app, which assists in importing contacts from Windows Phone and Android smartphones.hen playing games, aimlessly browsing the internet and social networks did not keep us peeled to our devices like technology ridden zombies? Well, whether you remember this golden age or not, you should know that not everyone in the world uses smart phones and some people are still just using their devices for basic texting and making calls. Nokia is a leader in entry level feature phones and have introduced two new contenders with the Nokia 207 and Nokia 208.

All these phones have a  2.4-inch (240 x 320 pixels) 65k color display and comes with a physical T-9 keypad. All these phone have 3.5G with video streaming (YouTube) capabilities and runs on Nokia Series 40 OS. 

The 207 and 208 are indeed very similar but the 208 sports a 1.3 mega pixel camera, while the 207 has no camera at all. Other differences include the 208’s dual SIM variation.

Internally both the 207 and 208 will provide its end users with a more than capable 1020 mAh battery that should offer up to 20 days of standby time. Try getting that out of your iPhone! Processing and graphics prowess were unfortunately left out of the press release, but should be of no real concern as it is surely more than capable of handling what the 207 and 208 are capable of. They do however both sport 64 MB of system memory and 256 GB of built in storage with expandable micro SD memory options capable of storing up to 32 GB. 

Both of the devices also use a Nokia Xpress Browser, support Twitter and Facebook with built in services, sport Bluetooth 3.0 with all sorts of profiles and use micro USB for syncing and charging. Both the 207 and 208 can also be used as portable modems via their USB ports. 

Nokia also states that the devices are “easy to clean and scratch proof” and are built for day to day living in extra hot and dusty climates. The Nokia 2207 and Nokia 208 will be the companies’ most affordable 3G devices and will only cost end users about €52 about $68 bucks. Also, the 207 and 208 will be offered in yellow, red, blue, white and black.
