2013-02-25
hello I'm the Westway to cnet's here at Mobile World Congress we're checking out Nokia's 301 so as you probably sussed as soon as you clapped eyes on it the 301 is not your normal fancy smartphone instead it's a very very basic mobile but that's no bad thing because it's very cheap indeed Nokia tells me that this phone is going to cost not too much more than 65 euros it's got a 2.4 inch display that's not a touchscreen so you'll be relying on these physical keys down here it's got a 3.2 megapixel camera at the back it's got this brightly colored Nokia style looks a bit like the Lumia phones design-wise and it comes in a range of other colors pink and blue black and white are also included because it's not doing very much because it's quite basic you should get decent battery life and the phone also feels quite sturdy so hopefully it would be able to withstand a drop onto the floor nokia is very proud of the browser on this phone and that's because it compresses data down using Nokia's cloud server so because you're using less data that should save you some money the 301 is coming out between April and June it looks like quite a neat little device very basic so if you're looking for something uncomplicated this might be it there are loads of really cheap Android smartphones out there now as well though so when this comes out it might be worth doing a bit of shopping around I'm the west rave cnet and this is Nokia's 301 you
