The year 2011 is coming to an end and marks the year the Finland mobile phone manufacturer, Nokia, delved into the dual SIM mobile phone market with the release of the Nokia C2-00, Nokia Asha 200 (which I love ’cause it comes with a QWERTY keypad) and the Nokia C2-03 (Dual SIM with Touchscreen).

In time for the holiday shopping season, they’ve released probably their last dual sim phone for the year; the Nokia X2-02 Dual SIM Standby which features a 240 x 320 pixels, 2.2 inches TFT display, Easy SIM swap, 2 megapixel camera, FM Radio and microSD slot expandable to 32GB with GPRS/EDGE internet connectivity.

According to the press release: the Easy Swap feature allows you to manage your costs by moving easily between as many as five SIM cards using a dedicated SIM manager – and you can swap SIM cards without having to turn off and reboot your phone. Use the dedicated SIM manager key to manage up to five SIM settings and give each SIM card a name.

It also comes with a music and video player that supports MP4/H.263/MP3/AAC.

Sadly it lacks a QWERTY keypad thus I continue awaiting the release of Nokia Asha 200 in Nigeria.

Suggested retail price is set at 60 Euros before tax.

Full features of the Nokia X2-02 are readily available via GSM Arena.

The review by Dr Emma is quite helpful unlike technical specifications in other tabled reviews.At present I am using anKarbonn 707,LG dynamite 200,LG moonlight CDMA, Samsung galaxy ace etc and soon I would be replacing my ageing LG dynamite and another similar LG (since I don’t remember the model number which.is not having a name prefixed and this is where an added name boosts ones recollection capacity as in.TGEUR case of dynamite) with a qwerty one for the rough and regular usage.However since I have more than 2000 names and numbers in the my multiple numbers per contact in the LG alone so I am looking for one having ATLEAST 1000 contacts with multiple fields,facility to back up contacts on sd card and call recording facility with a minimum of 500 SMS.I had closed down on the recently launched Asha 210 but realised that it is not having a backup facility as also lacks PC sync.Asha 200 seems to be a good choice but contacts but call recording,sms capacity is not clarified even after interacting with Nokia support.So I would like to be enlightened about the right choice having the above features.Samsung chat 322 does not seem to be having call recording.Onida i9andy is a budget qwerty android but again call recording is not sure
