Nokia may be into Windows 8 phones but it’s still very much into the production of cheap candybar phones. The new phones from the Finish phone maker are the Nokia 207 and Nokia 208, both with 2.4-inch QVGA display and identical designs. The main difference is that the Nokia 208 has 1.3 MP rear camera. The Nokia 208 offers single and dual-SIM variants while the Nokia 207 only offers a single-SIM option.
The Nokia 207 and 208 follow the design language of the Lumia phone series, which means, they are colorful. The Nokia 207 and 208 feature 3G connectivity (HSPDA up to 7.2Mbps) and outstanding 30-day standby time and 12-hour call time. These phones can surf the internet through the Nokia Xpress Browser and are pre-loaded with apps like YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and WhatsApp and others can be download from the Nokia Store. The phones even support Mail for Exchange and can be used as a USB modem for laptops.
The Nokia 207 and 207 are being marketed as secondary phones and the fact that they use microSIM cards prove that Nokia wants you to use this whenever you want to leave you smartphone at home or simply need a rugged phone.
