Why can’t I have the Nokia 701 in white?…
I think this is the most beautiful 701 model.
Do Smart and Globe have plans to include the Nokia 701 in their postpaid plans. It’s been almost 4 months and up to now they don’t offer this phone in their website. Or does Smart and Globe already abandoned Nokia all in all and just depleting their inventory? Nauna pa yong iPhone 4S release for the rich dudes than the Nokia phones for the normal Pinoys. Sad.
Pre, two words…
PROFIT MARGIN…
Akala kasi nila wala ng ibubuga ang Nokia…
Nokia 500 price range is somewhat too expensive. they say entry level, Others would think to buy a Android-Powered Phone like Galaxy Mini instead.
mr.abe will you pls tell us why is it that nokia 600 is not yet out in the market today.we had waited almost 2 months to update this phone.its release in the philippine market.because it is better than 700 and 500.because it has 106 phon speaker and has a T.V. output unlike 500.for me its a perfect phone to all filipino music enthusiast like me.
Symbian? No way. Dapat Mango na.
When the heck will the Nokia 600 come out? :( Come on– FM transmitter, headphone-independent radio, every other spec of the 700 except the Gorilla Glass and the Clearblack display… tsk, tsk.. plus it’s cheaper…
hmm didn’t they say that nokia is going to abandon symbian and switch to windows??
Sir Yuga
Can you get a review unit for the new Lenovo Phones Coming???
Specially the A60 and the S800.
Bakit ganun? Laging nagtitipid sa battery ang Nokia?
^Yes dual-standy(2 active) yung phone.
Ask ko lang sa owners ng 101 if may restart issues kayong na eencounter.
Sa thread kasi ng tipidcp.com eh mejo disturbing sa kanila yung issue na yon….
The start up issue of Nokia 101 is too bothersome. Happens when sending SMS…
active ba ung 2 sim sa 101?
About Nokia 101 i already got one almost 2 weeks now but they never Promote the Product like Nokia 1202 and 1280. by the way the phone is kinda easy and much more Option in Dual sim you can use dual sim or choose if you want to turn of your sim 1 or sim 2. ITS A PHONE FOR People who dont wanna get in to Trouble ahaha
Jerome is right. Goodness, why bother with a phone na fixed-focus? These new Nokia phones are using FULL FOCUS lenses.
Forget about Gsmarena.com, here’s the official specifications from the Nokia website.

whoa totoo out na yung nokia 101?:)) meron kaya sa nokia galleria yun? ang mura nun para sa dual sim na music phone! 1500! sulit heavy duty pwede ibato sa muka ng magnanakaw.:))
yep, totoo po. I bought mine last October 2, 2011 at P1490. Ok naman yung features ng phone. Sulit na sulit if you’re looking for a nokia basic dual-sim phone.
Abe’s right about the specs of these phones particularly the fixed focus cameras. gsmarena.com says the same :
http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_701-4119.php
http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_700-4021.php
Nope full focus. Doesn’t make sense with the hardware spec and pricing. Try using a C7 and compare the pics with a phone using fixed focus lens.
Abe, let’s be clear on the spec of these phones. These are not using fixed focus lens but rather use full focus which is quite different. Here is a good link explaining the full focus lens.

Fixed-focus cameras? WTF?
