News & Reviews:   Nokia 100 specs

Following announcement of the new Symbian Belle smartphone operating system and three new phones to go along with it, Nokia is changing gears to introduce the Nokia 100, a basic, no-frills phone that is aimed towards emerging markets. In fact, the Nokia 100 is the cheapest phone that Nokia has ever produced.

Nokia 100: Features

The Nokia 100 runs Nokia's Series 30 feature phone operating system, and is designed to do pretty much one thing: make and receive phone calls. Of course, you can send and receive text messages, but forget about snapping pics or sending MMS messages with pictures, as the Nokia 100 lacks a camera. The Nokia 100 does include a cool, integrated flashlight in the top of the phone, and it has an FM radio as well. Nokia says they designed the simple, icon-based user interface to be usable even for those who have yet to learn to read.
