So we finally got a definite answer from Nokia Philippines regarding their dual-SIM handsets. Both the Nokia C2-00 and the Nokia X1-01 will be locally available soon (as early as a June release I bet).
Had lunch today with their Corporate Communications Manager who showed me the two handsets working and running as expected. No reason was given as to why the very long delay.
The Nokia X1-01 is the music phone version of their dual-SIM line-up and will be priced just under Php2,500. The Nokia C2-00, which ahs a hot-swappable SIM tray, will retail for under Php3,500.
Is C2-00 available already? I went to Nokia store in SM City Sta. Rosa last wednesday, still not available.
Muntik ko na bilhin yun X1-01 pero I’ll wait pa din sa C2-00 hopefully by tomorrow hehe :)
I bought the Nokia X1-01 yesterday for P1,990 here at Ayala Center Cebu.
Contrary to what others are saying, you don’t have to turn off the phone to switch to another SIM.
BOTH NETWORKS are active, meaning, I can receive text messages from the two networks that I’m using (I’m using Globe and SUN).
ang mahal nmn ng c2-00 and x1.. hindi na po ba bababa yan?????
meron na po sa megamall ng x1-01, di nokia store, di ko napansin name ng store basta sa cyberzone mega, P1800 daw.. yung c2-00 wala pa daw..
Kaasar! Sabi ng Nokia Rob Gale sa June 17 daw. Pagbalik ko kahapon sabi sa June 18! Ano ba talaga?
ang tagal namang i-release.. gusto ko na bumili.. dali.. i release na. correct . c2-00 is 2,990 sabi ng girl sa nokia moa.
Are these phones dual active? Thanks!
SRP of these products has been released. Nokia C2-00 at P2,990 (!) and Nokia X1-01 at P1,990 (!!) Just watch out for it!
Kita-kits na lang doon biznizdok. Haha. Gotta get this phone!
Got the Nokia C1-00 already. And the Nokia X1-01 looks interesting. Dual-standby and a music player… battery life is just as good as the C1-00.. might be time to switch when this comes out. Gotta check the device’s build first, though.
For a music phone, mahirap siguro gamitin ang X1-01 to transfer music files. Wala kasing USB port >_<
More likely, via the microSD card.
I dropped by at Nokia Robinson’s Galleria. I was quoted by a lady that they’ll release the X1-01 come June 17. And the price will be at P1999. I’m not sure if that’s gonna be true.
launching daw sa JUne 17… sa Nokia SM Mega mall
June 17 launching daw… sa Nokia SM Mega mall
its june 3. today..mamaya punta ako sm , ill ask
kung meron..
I’m sure sasabihin. ” sir wala pa po ”
question: ah may idea kayo kailan i release ?
answer: ay sir wala po kaming idea eh , baka next week balik kayo. ( lahat ng stores ganyan ang sagot, bwisit )
June 2 na…. ala pa rin sa mga SM malls.
kailan kaya ang official release date ng nokia c2-00? wala bang reviews diyan..
sana nga. i release na yan… agad agad.. its june 1 2011 na.. i release na yan.. bibili agad ako niyan . now na.. c2-00
sana instead if dual sim phone, dual imsi sim na lang, para di na kailangan bunili ng phone atsaka mas maganda pa sa kalikasan kasi mas maraming resource ang kailangan para gumawa ng dual sim phone kesa sa dual imsi sim. sana lang…
Wow! A year late!! WIll still get one. I do hope it ships by June else it’d be a bummer.
