Nokia 2600 Classic and 1209 budget phones for emerging markets

Nokia issued a press release today announcing their launch of the Nokia 2900 Classic and the Nokia 1209 for emerging markets. The 2600 offers more than your average budget phone would, with FM radio and a VGA camera, not to mention dual band 3G connectivity, for only 65 Euros ($92).

The Nokia 1209 is a true budget device, featuring no Bluetooth support or even a camera, but offers a range of features aimed at allowing users to share their device with other people, such as a feature for multiple contact lists, one for each person using the device. Supporting EGSM 900 / 1900 frequencies, the 1209 will retail for 35 Euros ($50). Both phones are set for a second quarter 2008 release.
