Apparent Nokia C-Series Touch and Type Dual SIM Slider in the Works

We’ve known for a while that Nokia is planning on getting into the Dual SIM (GSM) market for sometime now. From the leaks going around, it seems like a slick looking Dual SIM smartphone just might be in the works already from the Finns. A site called Hackintosh-India has posted leaked images of a new C-Series slider handset that might also be categorised as Nokia Touch and Type device.

Looks quite sleek

Nokia’s Touch and Type series are gaining ground as low end devices that offer users a little more than just basic functionality in sleek forms. The X3-02 and C3-01 seem to be faring quite well in the Indian market.

What is the US HIRE Bill and why is India’s $250-billion IT sector worried? Is the internet dead? What's this theory that OpenAI's Sam Altman says might be true?

The leaked images reveal a standard mobile phone alphanumeric keypad and -

• a 2.8-inch (I’m guessing) resistive touchscreen display. This should keep the price down a bit.
• EDGE/GPRS (no 3G or Wi-Fi, according to the source)
• Bluetooth
• 2MP camera

The handset that could very well be called the C2-06, since the reports state it showed up as the handset’s Bluetooth id, would most likely run on a Symbian Series 40 6th Edition OS.

The apprent C2-06 will have a 2MP camera

There’s no official word of such a handset from the company, so naturally there are no details about when we can expect it or what kind of price tag it would bare. If I had to guess, I’d estimate it would be in the Rs. 5,000 to 7,000 price range.
