Nokia's launches new low-cost phones

THE WORLD'S top handset maker Nokia, which saw its worst-ever quarter in January-March, has made three new additions to its low-cost cell phone portfolio. Targeted at the emerging markets, the new launches include a sub-Rs 6K 3G phone. With the launch the mobile giant aims to further solidify its market share at the low-end. In fact, Nokia's wide offering at the low end has kept it ahead of its traditional rivals like Samsung Electronics, though the Finnish firm has been losing market share at the top end to rivals like Apple and Research in Motion. Here's looking into the specs sheet of the Nokia's three new low-cost additions. Candybar Nokia 2730 Classic is the cheapest 3G phone to date.

The phone has a 2 megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom. Nokia 2730 classic also comes with a standard 3.5mm jack. The phone offers 3.3 hours of talk time (or about 17 days of standby).
