Two new handsets have been announced by Nokia which are said to cost less on your budget. The Nokia C2-05 and Nokia X2-05 are the latest S40 equipped handsets that will be coming with the new Nokia Browser which uses Nokia’s compression technology to deliver real mobile web pages quickly and at a fraction of the bandwidth, and cost, of other mobile phones.

The Nokia C2-05 has a slider form-factor, includes the Nokia Browser and the Nokia Store, dedicated Facebook and Twitter apps, a VGA camera with digital zoom, a media player for MP3 and MP4 files, FM radio with a recorder built in, support for 32GB of external memory on a MicroSD card, Bluetooth, MicroUSB, a 2-inch QVGA resolution (320 x 240 pixels) LCD and battery life is rated up to 20 days in standby or four hours talktime.The Nokia C2-05 will be available in Q4 at an approximate cost of 50 Euros before any local taxes or operator subsidies.
The Nokia X2-05 is a candy-bar form factor phone that offers an emphasis on music and media. Like the Nokia C2-05 it comes with the similar set of apps, a music player and a loudspeaker that can reach upto106phons which is enough to entertain the whole room. There’s also an FM radio with a recording facility, a VGA camera, a 2.2-inch QVGA display with 320 x 240 resolution, MicroSD card support with up to 32GB and a rated battery of 25 days on standby or four hours talktime.
