Nokia 2600

Nokia 2600 is supposed to help to strengthen the company's position in the low-price segment. On the one hand, the model possesses rather a good functionality, on the other hand it has an attractive price. The presence of out-of-date screen is logical because the model is cheap.There is no WAP browser either. The device is targeted to developing markets and on users that buy a phone for the first time only for calling. This is the first time that the company changed its policy and equipped their device with a call timer. It is shown not only after a call but during it also.
