Low-cost Nokia 2690 arrives in India

Nokia's latest low-end handset, the 2690, has been launched in India. Priced at just Rs. 3700, it is targeted at the basic user, looking for a no frills device.

The phone has a small 1.2-inch color display. The 128*160 pixel screen is basic. The phone has a VGA camera at the back and also supports video recording - albeit at 176*144 pixels at 15fps. Running the S40 OS, the device comes with basic applications and supports GPRS and EDGE networks for data access. The phone is not 3G enabled, however.

While the internal memory might be nothing to boast about, the phone has a microSD slot that allows users to add up to 16GB of memory! The phone also sports a basic music player and supports FM Radio with RDS.

The phone is available in Graphite, White silver, Hot pink and Blue colors and is on sale now.
