Nokia 700 and 701 Shipping, Nokia 100 and 101 In Stores

Nokia announced several devices few weeks ago from high end Symbian Belle to entry level Dual SIM's, and as planned, phones will be release as soon as possible and they did, Nokia tweeted that 700 and 701 is now shipping with expected availability in retails stores in a weeks time while the Nokia 100 and 101 is now sold in retail stores.

This is a huge step forward for the company since most of there release dates before were 6 months to 1 year from announcement and that they're fun of postponing release dates, well, they were on schedule this time making a positive impression that Nokia is dead serious in wanting to make a comeback in the smartphone war. Time is gold in business and Nokia learned this attitude the hard way, by losing top slot in the smartphone market.

The Nokia 101 is now being sold locally for PhP1,560.00 ($36.02), good value for the money for a basic phone with dual SIM capability and tough hardware. I'm actually planning to buy either this phone or Nokia X1-01 for my Reloading business. Find more info of the Nokia 101 here.

Nokia launched of three feature-packed, mass market smartphones, bringing the latest smartphone functionality at attractive price points and including market-leading innovation with Symbian Belle.

The Nokia 700, Nokia 701 and Nokia 600 extend the range of available designs, features and functionality in the Nokia Symbian smartphone range. Symbian Belle powers all three, with single-tap NFC technology sharing and pairing, the most personal user interface so far and a more powerful mobile Web browsing experience. As well as allowing content to be shared between devices, NFC capabilities allow any of the three new smartphones to pair with NFC-enabled mobile accessories such as speakers or Bluetooth headphones and headsets. To extend the range of available NFC-enabled accessories, Nokia is also announcing the launch of the Nokia Essence Bluetooth Stereo Headset, which can be paired with any NFC-enabled smartphone simply by tapping the two devices together.

Symbian Belle range

While all three smartphones contain recognizable Nokia features, they each represent a very distinct set of priorities to allow users to choose what matters most in a smartphone. The most compact touch screen monoblock smartphone in the world (Nokia 700); a sleek and stylish smartphone with the world's brightest mobile display for indoor or outdoor use (Nokia 701), and Nokia's loudest entertainment smartphone (Nokia 600) all bring firsts to the Nokia product portfolio.

"After bringing exciting new features to the Symbian user experience only two months ago with Symbian Anna, we are now driving the platform even further with our most competitive Symbian user experience ever," said Ilari Nurmi, Vice President at Nokia. "Symbian Belle and the three new handsets we are launching today show our commitment to continue delivering Symbian products that allow people to choose what is most important to them in terms of user experience, design, functionality and price. These will not be last products or updates we will deliver on Symbian."

"With the announcement today Nokia has made it clear that Symbian will continue to play an important role in its product portfolio along side Windows Phone 7" said Nick McQuire IDC. "There is a sense of urgency in the way improvements and innovation are being delivered to the platform that demonstrates how committed Nokia is to make Symbian products a competitive smartphone choice."

The new Symbian devices will be available in Q3, 2011 worldwide and the Belle software following thereafter.
