Nokia reveals new budget C2 and X2

Nokia has declared new additions to its budget range: the C2-01 and the X2-01, both running Symbian S40. Unless you’re desperate for a full QWERTY keyboard, the C2 is clearly the better of the two, with 3G connectivity, an FM radio, Bluetooth and 12 button standard keyboards below a two inch screen.

It also comes with a 3.2MP camera on the back, as well as up to 16GB of on board storage – all for around €70 (£60).

X appeal

The X2 eschews the 3G and FM radio, and instead goes on the social networking tip, with Nokia’s ‘Communities’ on board, as well as a landscape-centric 2.4-inch display. However, despite only offering up GPRS/EDGE connectivity, the price is still higher than the C2 at almost £65. And finally, the Nokia C3-01 is shipping to the UK, which is essentially a lot like the C2, but with a much higher spec list: HSDPA connectivity, a 5MP camera with single LED flash and up to 32GB of memory.

However, it’s not going to be cheap: a premium full metal chassis has hiked the cost of £160 SIM free. The Nokia X2 is set to debut later this year, with the C2 set for a Q1 2011 UK release date.
