Dual-SIM Nokia Asha 200 now available in Phl

MANILA, Philippines - Nokia has announced the availability of the Nokia Asha 200 — a colorful dual-SIM phone with a full QWERTY keypad for fast messaging — in the Philippines.

The Nokia Asha 200 offers Nokia’s Easy Swap feature for convenient changing of SIM cards without the need to turn off the phone or remove the battery.

The phone allows up to five SIM cards to be personalized and managed, so that calls, text messages or Web browsing can be enjoyed with minimized costs and maximum network coverage. 

Available in a wide range of vibrant colors, including graphite, pink, aqua and pearl white, the Nokia Asha 200 is the perfect phone for staying connected.

It includes a dedicated key for immediate access to favorite e-mail and chat services through Nokia Messaging, and features an SMS view that shows an entire text message chain on the screen, to make chatting with friends easier than ever.

The pre-installed Nokia’s Communities application allows one-click sign-in to multiple social networks, letting users view, post, comment and update their status as well as share photos from networks such as Facebook and Twitter directly from the home screen.

With support for up to 32GB of additional memory, music lovers can take their entire collections with them, enjoying favorite tunes through high-performance 106 phon loudspeakers and enhanced stereo FM radio, as well as an FM recording feature that allows users to record songs directly off the radio.

“Consumers are calling out for the right mix of style and substance — phones that look great, but also give the richest possible experience in calling, texting or browsing the Web,” said Mike Smith, device portfolio manager of Nokia Philippines.

“The new Nokia Asha 200 with Easy Swap Dual SIM helps people enjoy more affordable and connected chat, while new features like Nokia Messaging and Communities place social right on the phone’s home screen,” Smith added.

The Nokia Asha 200 is available in Nokia Stores nationwide with a suggested retail price of P3,500.
